A few days ago I reinstalled OSX Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro, and each time I do, one of the first things I re-install is “xcode“, because it installs GCC on the mac. As a programmer and ethical hacker I use mainly C, but yesterday I needed C++ , so as it was my first time using C++ on my mac, i decided to use xcode and it worked fine. However this morning I had to use gcc to compile some CUDA snippet, and to do so I simply opened my terminal, and tried to use gcc as a command line tool, unfortunately it didn’t worked.
I began to investigate and after a few minutes, I found out what was the problem, and here is the solution :
Install GCC in OSX Mountain Lion After Having Installed xcode :
- Open Xcode
- Press “command” + ‘,’ to access the options
- Click on “Download”
- You should now see this :
- Now simply click on “install Command Line Tool”
and in a few minutes you will be able to use gcc in your terminal.
