I really need to use the debugger in Xcode but I can't get to make this work. I use the terminal on Mac, to compile a file, which I usually just change the directory and then I have .sh file and I write that down and everything compile, note this is what is in .sh file :

#!/bin/bash
clear

echo "cleaning directory"
rm mag_test.out

echo "Compiling mag_cal_driver.c"
g++ -o mag_test.out mag_cal_driver.c ../src/mag_utils.c

echo -e "Running magnetometer tests\n"
./mag_test.out

how can I achieve this in Xcode ???? note the code is in c! enter image description here

For 

rm mag_test.out

In MAC

make clean

Save the file as .c and type in the terminal:

gcc -o yourfilename yourfilename.c

or 

 make yourfilename

Afterwards just run the executable like this:

./yourfilename

For debugging

You can use lldb

$ lldb yourfilename

break point 

$breakpoint set --file yourfilename .c --line 12

Best is xcode interface for debugging (IDE)

For Installing LLDB follow LLDB INSTALLATION

For Guide use LLDB GUIDE

IF you want to use xcode IDE follow the step 1.Start xcode

  1. Select Create new Xcode Project

  2. Select Command line tool

command line

4.Select the language

Language selection

5.Create and add File and breakpoint as you like(blue arrow marked is debug break point)

6.After that just play the execute button at top most left corner

debug

  • @HamidrezaRezai Your code is from git ..there is one more easy way .start xcode->checkout an existing project (place your git path) – Hariom Singh Aug 11 '17 at 04:32
  • i used that option , it only downloaded the files nothing else it didnt added it to any project or anything ! – Hamidreza Rezai Aug 11 '17 at 04:49
