Alrighty, been struggling to install GCC package 4.0 on my macbook.

Wasn't that hard on linux or anything, but i dont know why it ain't working on the mac machine

So i've installed gcc 4.0 and as the matter of fact, even 3.3 on the macbook. I tried saving a .c file in the desktop, running command such as..

gcc <filename.c>, but it says

-bash: gcc: command not found

Im doing computer graphics as well, so the template for compile an openGL is

cc main-good.c -o simple -framework GLUT -framework OpenGL -lobjc
-bash: cc: command not found

Pretty sure that gcc 4.0 is installed because the next time i intended to install, it says upgrade. I've tried linking it using sudo, also to no avail.

Kinda sucky that i can't work this out eventhough its one of my essential

Stupid comp science

I've been using Intel C compiler and it was ok for me. Never try other company's compiler yet

Its not any problem, its just that..haha..i can't compile.i dont know why
Its installed alright...its just myself..

On my Mac, I had to install the Developer Tools from ( I think)
the 3rd installer CD.

Before that, no gcc or xcode was preinstalled. Refer to Apple
Help if necessary.

Hmmm maybe that's not supported?

I didn't download any installation from the internet

Purely all from the first OS x CD that was given to me in side XTools

And i dont have a 3rd Installer CD, just two CDs, with the second one an expansion installation for the mac osx.

Get the xcode from Apple. The latest one , that should do it

If it fails then get DarwinPort and then install the gcc package from it.

Yea ive downloaded the XTools, latest one from Apple.

900 mb in all.

Just curious, even through the XCode ive downloaded, i assume that it should be the same as the one in the installation CD. I'm just rather stunned that it doesn't work, could it be the directory problem or whatsoever?

A check on darwin port whilst executin sudo

while executing
"macports::selfupdate [array get global_options]"
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: selfupdate failed: Error installing new MacPorts base: shell command "cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-install-user=root --with-install-group=admin --with-tclpackage=/Library/Tcl && make && make install" returned error 1

No gcc or cc...this is..making me...bald

Jonathon, open up a terminal window and type which gcc. It should show /usr/bin/gcc

Methinks you're not installing Xtools correctly. Do a custom install and make sure gcc is in that list, and is installed.

Welcome to Darwin!
jonathanong:~ Jonathan$ which gcc
no gcc in /opt/local/bin /opt/local/sbin /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin

Your thinking is precise


I just doooble click on the gcc 4.0 and gcc 3.3 to install it. I thought that should be as simple as it could be

May I know what is GCC? Care to elaborate.

I'll really appreciate those that can help me with the installation. I desperately need to start compiling my projects

When u had installed Xcode, does it complain of any errors or anything? Also, in your Finder window, you should see a tab at the side for the Developer tools installed. Under Developer->Applications, you'll find Xcode. Does that work?

I manage to tweak and play around, only to find that i wrongly assumed that there was a linkage directly from gcc-4.0 to gcc

so when i type which gcc-4.0, the path was found

The only problem would be now, how do i link my gcc-4.0 to gcc or cc

sudo gcc_select 4.0

jonathanong:~/Desktop Jonathan$ sudo gcc_select 4.0
sudo: gcc_select: command not found

And i found out that i dont have the libraries installed for stdio.h and all those basic libraries. Which XCode file to install ya?
