The IDE for mac is XCode but you can use any cross platform IDE

OK, thanks, I installed eclipse,and now when I am trying to run simple program, I see -"Launch failed.Binary not found."
What should I do?

[Bazzy]

Did you compile the program?

[FTIUkraine]

Yes,I did.

XCode is a little bit more than an IDE. XCode also includes binutils, gcc, nasm, flex, bison, ruby, python, perl, and a few other nifty things for programming that otherwise don't exist on a Mac.
