C%2b%2b Compiler For Mac Os X

C 2b 2b compiler for mac os x 10.10

Question or issue on macOS:

I’m attempting to install texinfo 5.2, and I’m running into some issues during ./configure, which I believe are related to the C compiler. When I upgraded from Snow Leopard, I didn’t perform a clean install, so perhaps that’s part of the problem. Anyway, here’s what I’ve got:

Oct 08, 2006 These tools contain a compiler for c (called gcc) and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that is called Xcode. These tools are the Mac equivalent of the 'Dev C' tools you were told that you need. The native compilers are gcc and llvm which are part of the XCode environment. While the compilers are free, the latest IDE is not but can be bought from the app store for something like $5.99 $4.99. If you don't need the latest version, a 3.x version of XCode, including gcc, should be on your OSX DVD. Just install it from there.

I’ve read some of the other questions related to this, so I attempted to install Command Line Tools.

So it seems they’re not installed, although I’m running Xcode 5.1 installed from the App Store. From what I’ve read, Command Line Tools should be installed, but I’ve tried

anyway, and when I tell it to install, a message pops up saying “Can’t install software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.”

I found what I thought might be a work-around at http://www.topbug.net/blog/2013/04/14/install-and-use-gnu-command-line-tools-in-mac-os-x/, so I did the following:

But I still have the ./configure issue.

For reference,

Although I did attempt to install gcc-4.7 the other day, and it’s currently living at

I’m not quite sure how to get it to run as a command from the command line because

is what I’m getting now, but that may be neither here nor there.

C 2b 2b Compiler For Mac Os X 7

edit: Since this doesn’t directly answer my question about checking whether the C compiler works, I’m not submitting this as an answer. I just tried brew install texinfo, and that worked like a charm. At this point, I can’t really remember why I was trying to install texinfo from source nor can I remember what I needed it for (maybe something GNU Make-related or Emacs-related?).

How to solve this problem?

Solution no. 1:

I faced this same problem after installing xcode; All I had to do was run gcc. This then asked me to accept the xcode license. After, it just worked fine.

Hope this helps someone.

Solution no. 2:

I can’t really take credit for the answer, but the same things happened to me. I tried to get a ruby-1.9.3 ruby. RVM grabed gcc46 and told homebrew to install it. But then the rvm install command didn’t like that. So brew uninstall gcc46 and then brew install apple-gcc42 worked like a charm.

Solution no. 3:

For me the issue was I had not run

xcode-select --install

Once I did that everything ran fine
