About

This repository contains the minimal code needed to create a Cocoa Application from scratch; no Xcode used.

The code was based on the [Minimalist Cocoa programming] 0 blog post. With some slight modifications, like the addition of a [Application Bundle] 1.

To compile and run it, execute the following command on a Terminal:

make

Why we need an Application Bundle?

If you try to directly execute the application binary with Finder, you'll see it opened inside a Terminal window... which is quite sad... so that's why!

NB An Application Bundle is just directory with a .app suffix.

NB I'm not sure if there is a way to skip the Application Bundle... if you find out, let me known!
