Compile and Run command line projects from Xcode

Question

I am working on a piece of software which I compile using this command in Terminal:

gcc -framework Foundation -framework AudioToolbox Main.m Buffer.m WavFileReader.m WavFileCreator.m LowPassFilter.m Snippet.m Blender.m EffectsFilter.m -o /Users/ericbrotto/Desktop/audio

I then run the executable also via Terminal.

How can I do this from an Xcode project using the Run button which builds and run applications.

write a make file, import it to Xcode

The easiest way to do this is to start by creating a project with a command line target. Then, once you have done that, remove the files that it adds by default to the project and then add your files in to the project, making sure to check the target when you do so.

You will want to think a little bit about the location of the files, just so that they make sense for you and aren't too far off of where Xcode would normally put them.

You may or may not find the execution during the run phase to be satisfactory, but I have found it fine for small test programs and things that run without user input. Otherwise, you probably want to do the run in Terminal to get better I/O.
