This article split in two section, In frist section we prepare the development environment for and in second section we develop “hello world” program.

Prepare Development Environment:

The Development environment is based on OSx86 project, therefore we use non-Apple pc. OSx86 is a collaborative "hacking" project to run the Mac OS X computer operating system on non-Apple personal computers with x86 architecture processors
