Carbon and C++

I know enough C++ to know that I like the language and want to continue with it on Mac. I got a book, O'Reolly's Learning Carbon, and I've entered the code, just as it says. The problem is, the book is older, and doesn't account for Xcode, which builds its program files a bit differently. I literally can't use the most important parts of this book! Can someone guide me to a good carbon tutorial? Or at least help me get past some of these barriers? I've been at this for hours. Apple's site isn't even that useful.
