[TxMt] Re: Compiling C/C++ using Textmate

[Armon Dadgar]

How is this supposed to work, if there are no problems?
When I open a simple C file and press Apple-R,
it says something about not being able to build with XCode.
Is there some way to just build and run more simply?

BTW, I did just download the latest C bundle and Support folder from  
the SVN.
(And yes, it does say that my support folder is in /Library/Application 
\ Support/...)
Thanks.

Best Regards,

Armon Dadgar
