Welcome to using Phidgets with C! By using C, you will have access to the complete Phidget22 API, including events.
 
GCC is a compiler system for originally written for GNU, and is the standard compiler on unix-like operating systems. GCC is readily available on macOS, and can be used to compile C programs from the terminal.

==Use Our Examples==
One of the best ways to start programming with Phidgets is to use our example code as a guide. You likely have gcc installed on your macOS machine already, but if not, you can easily get it by downloading [https://developer.apple.com/xcode/ Xcode].
 
Next, select an example that will work with your Phidget:
*{{SampleCode|C|C Examples}}
 
 
To compile the example program, enter the following command in the terminal:
<syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
gcc example.c ../Common/PhidgetHelperFunctions.c -o example -F /Library/Frameworks -framework Phidget22 -I /Library/Frameworks/Phidget22.framework/Headers -I ../Common
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Finally, run the program by entering the following command in the terminal:
<syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
./example
</syntaxhighlight>

==Setting up a New Project==
To compile C programs, you will need gcc. You likely have gcc installed on your macOS machine already, but if not, you can easily get it by downloading [https://developer.apple.com/xcode/ Xcode].
 
When you are building a project from scratch, or adding Phidget functionality to an existing project, you'll need to configure your development environment to properly link the Phidget C library.
 
To include the Phidget C library, add the following line to your code:
<syntaxhighlight lang='C'>
#include <phidget22.h>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
To compile the program, enter the following command in the terminal, substituting "example" for the name of your C file:
<syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
gcc example.c -o example -F /Library/Frameworks -framework Phidget22 -I /Library/Frameworks/Phidget22.framework/Headers
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Finally, run the program by entering the following command in the terminal:
<syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
./example
</syntaxhighlight>
