I am facing this issue on macos Sierra.
When i try to install the npm module i get this error.
make: error: unable to find utility "make", not a developer tool or in PATH
You should install the xcode commandline tools. That will make sure make is in the path

I have been stuck on this for a while, and I was wondering if I could get some help.
I'm currently stuck trying to run a cmake setup file and I'm constantly getting this error
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/stdio.h:107:15: fatal error: 'stdio.h' file not found
I've been looking online, and haven't been able to find anything recent. I've tried using the xcode-select --install already.
cmake version is currently 3.21.3.
The library I'm trying to install is https://github.com/google/draco, where I'm trying to install python functions using pybind11. I was able to install this library through cmake, whoever when I try to install the pybind11 functionality I keep getting this error. This library seemed to function properly on a coworkers linux machine, and they were running cmake 3.20.4 on ubuntu 18.04 (I don't know if this makes a difference)
Any help would be appreciated, and please let me know if there's any other information that can help the process.
It looks like something in XCode has changed after updating MacOS to 12.3. I had to reinstall XCode command line tools. I don't say it's right solution, but it works for me.
Commands for reinstalling (from https://stackoverflow.com/a/47804075):
removing the old tools ($ sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools)
install xcode command line tools again ($ xcode-select --install).
I recently upgraded xcode command line tools to version 2384. After this I decided to reinstall gcc which was installed with homebrew. Installation completed with no errors but when I tried to compile a simple code with iostream library, it gave an error saying:
/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/10.2.0/include/c++/10.2.0/cwchar:44:10: fatal error: wchar.h: No such file or directory
Later, I checked the library folder and there were multiple files missing such as assert.h. I want to ask is there any way to fix this other than installing every file one by one? I already tried updating homebrew and xcode command line tools.
I'm trying to install Memcached on Mac using this tutorial:
http://tugdualgrall.blogspot.de/2011/11/installing-memcached-on-mac-os-x-and.html
but when I try ./configure
it says:
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
when I try make it says:
make
sh: make: command not found
sh-3.2# yum install make
sh: yum: command not found
sh-3.2# apt-get install make
sh: apt-get: command not found
I must mention that I have Xcode but it's still not working.
I'm really new on Mac so please take that into consideration :)
I would really appreciate your help
Thanks!
If you have Xcode 4.3 or newer the command line tools, such as make, are not installed by default. In Xcode preferences go to the "Downloads" tab and under "Components" push the "Install" button next to "Command Line Tools". After you have successfully downloaded and installed the command line tools you should also type the following command in the Terminal to make sure all your Xcode command line tools are switched to use the 4.3 versions:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
Once everything is successfully installed you should see make and other command line developer tools in /usr/bin.
From torrey.lyons's answer, in Xcode --> Preferences --> Downloads it says under Command Line Tools:
Before installing, note that from within Terminal you can use the
XCRUN tool to launch compilers and other tools embedded within the
Xcode application. Use the XCODE-SELECT tool to define which version
of Xcode is active. Type "man xcrun" from within Terminal to find out
more.
Therefore, I was able to run the make tool with the command xcrun make.
Things have changed in Mac OS 11 (Big Sur). There is now a command line tools package. Search for "Command Line Tools for Xcode 12.5.1" (or newer) on Apple's Developer Network.
I'm trying to make a Xcode project from the Insight Toolkit (ITK, itk.org). I issued the following command into the terminal:
ccmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/g++ -GXcode /<path to source>
When I try to generate the project it fails with this error:
CMake Error at /Applications/CMake 2.8-7.app/Contents/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:52 (MESSAGE):
The C compiler "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/gcc" is not able to compile a simple test program.
It fails with the following output:
Change Dir: /<path to destination folder>/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp
Run Build Command:/Applications/CMake\ 2.8-7.app/Contents/bin/cmakexbuild -project CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE.xcode build -target cmTryCompileExec -buildstyle Development
xcodebuild: error: option '-buildstyle' is no longer supported
How can I configure the call to cmakexbuild? I haven't found a respective entry in the CMake configuration menu.
I have found similar problems from other users with other projects so I assume it's a problem with the CMake configuration.
I'm using Xcode 4.3 and CMake 2.8.7 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3.
Thanks for your help,
Paul
It's a CMake bug and it seem to be been fixed in development version:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12621
You can fix this by telling OSX which version of Xcode you want to use. If you installed 4.3, it has moved to the Apps folder, along with all the tools. Previously they were all in /Developer. Do the following and try again.
sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
You may also have to install the command-line tools. I already installed these so I don't know what will happen without them.
cmake 2.8.8 rc1 is out now. Perhaps try that. I think it has solved my problem. :)
I'm getting this error when I try and install node on my new mac
error: could not configure a cxx compiler!
The error always occurs when I get to the ./configure part of the installation
I found this problem which applies to a linux build with the same error, but the solution does not seem to apply in my case:
How to compile/install node.js(could not configure a cxx compiler!) (Ubuntu).
I also took a look at the troubleshoot guide on the node wiki here:
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Troubleshooting-Installation
and tried this solution:
export PATH=/Developer/usr/bin:$PATH
ISYSROOT="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk"
export LINKFLAGS=$ISYSROOT CXXFLAGS=$ISYSROOT CFLAGS=$ISYSROOT
./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-ssl
make
But I get the same problem when I get to the ./configure step
Any advice, insights or help would be much appreciated here.
Thanks
When you install Mac OS X Developer Tools (XCode, etc) ensure you have the Unix Tools option checked. I had to remember to install Developer Tools/Unix tools when I set up my new MBP and it resolved this error for me.
Optionally, you could remove and try installing with Homebrew. However, it still has the same requirements (XCode/Dev Tools) so ensure that you have those installed.
Hope this helps.
I had this problem too, I resolved this in a different way, as far as I know xcode 4.3.1 doesnt come with an Install Xcode.app file from the appstore, if you are under this case, just run xcode, go to preferences -> downloads and click on the Install button for the command line tools option. I did just that and all the errors on the .configure and make commands were gone :)
I had the same problem on OSX 10.7 with Xcode 4.2. I was trying to build node v0.4.7. I kept getting "unable to configure a c compiler" error. What finally worked for me is installing the GCC compiler seperately. I found a nice package for that here:
https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer/
configure is currently broken for some versions of MacOS; for more details, see How to compile Node.js v0.4.2 on MacOS 10.5.8. The working approach cited there is as follows:
export PATH=/Developer/usr/bin:$PATH
ISYSROOT="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk"
export LINKFLAGS=$ISYSROOT CXXFLAGS=$ISYSROOT CFLAGS=$ISYSROOT
./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-ssl
make
This worked for me .

After installing XCode 4.3.2 (in Mac OS X Lion) I still had the error.
Open XCode, Preferences, Downloads and installed Command Line Tools.
After it gets installed ./configure runs ok.
