GCC /clang not present on BSD, and unable to install it - gcc

I have a freebsd 8.4 machine. I want to use to use pyinstaller to create a binary for freebsd. However it looks like pyinstaller does not support freebsd by default so i have to go in the bootloader and create stuff specific to the target system.
This is giving me errors that gcc/cc is not found on the system. Here is the first error message
Platform : FreeBSD-64bit detected
Checking for 'gcc' (C compiler) : not found
Checking for 'clang' (C compiler) : not found
So then i try to install gcc via ports. I do this
cd /usr/ports/lang/gcc49
make install
It fails :
checking whether the C compiler works... no
So i checked in the file system and there is no gcc or clang or cc. It only has ccache. Here are the details from /usr/bin
CC -> /usr/local/bin/ccache
gcc -> /usr/local/bin/ccache
There is nothing in /usr/local/bin (either CC or GCC)
so if i just do gcc at the command line i get this :
ccache: FATAL: Could not find compiler "gcc" in PATH
how do i fix this. This thing is driving me nuts. pkg install is also not working with error "No repositories found "

On FreeBSD 8.4 the standard compiler is gcc (4.2), and it's located in /usr/bin. It has to be there.
It seems that ccache installation created some problem removing/overwriting something. ccache package installs compiler links in /usr/local/libexec/ccache, but if you installed it manually I'm not sure what happened.
FreeBSD 8.4 is not maintained anymore and there's no package repository anymore for it.
My suggestion is to update your system to FreeBSD 10.2 and use clang, that's the new standard compiler.

I installed Nim without any problem, but it gives me this error, what should I do?

I install Nim Lang but it not works. I get this errors, how can i fix? (I have completed the setup.)
Error: invocation of external compiler program failed. Sistem belirtilen dosayayi bulamiyor.
Additional info: "Requested command not found: \'gcc.exe -c -w -fmax-errors=3 -mno-ms-bitfields -I\"C:\\Program Files\\Nim Language\\lib\" -IC:\\Users\\SyTax\\Desktop -o C:\\Users\\Sytax\Desktop -o C:\\Users\\SyTax\\nimcache\\name_d\\stdlib_io.nim.c.o C:\\Users\\SyTax\\nimcache\\name_d\\stdlib_io.nim.c\'.

Error;
enter image description here
Probably you only installed the first package from Nim's windows installation page. Note that there are other dependencies mentioned on that page. You may also need:
MingW compiler dependency, installed with finish.exe.
DLLs available on your system, like PCRE or OpenSSL, also available for download.
Alternatively you could try installing Nim using Scoop, which seems to be able to install both Nim and the required compiler.
The Nim compiler creates C code, so to compile your code to binary and run, you should install a C compiler. The default is GCC. In linux and mac, it comes with the system, so I am assuming you are using windows.
I am not a Windos user, but AFAIK you neet to install mingw amd gcc

omp.h not found, OS X Yosemite not using newest gcc version

I am trying to build GraphChi on OS X Yosemite but get the following error:
fatal error: 'omp.h' file not found
From this question - How to include omp.h in OS X? - I learned that Yosemite uses Clang instead of gcc, which does not include omp.h.
$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
$ gcc -v
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.56) (based on LLVM 3.5svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.1.0
Thread model: posix
Next, I installed gcc via Homebrew
$ brew info gcc
gcc: stable 4.9.2 (bottled)
http://gcc.gnu.org
/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.9.2_1 (1092 files, 177M)
Built from source with: --without-multilib
and updated $PATH to include the path to the new gcc version
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.9.2_1:usr/local/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
however, gcc -v and which gcc still point to the old version, and building GraphChi still doesn't work due to the missing omp.h file
Does anyone know what else I need to do?
Update
locate omp.h returned:
/usr/local/Cellar/apple-gcc42/4.2.1-5666.3/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin11/4.2.1/include/omp.h
/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.9.2_1/lib/gcc/4.9/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin14.1.0/4.9.2/include/omp.h
/usr/local/Cellar/gfortran/4.8.2/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0/4.8.2/include/omp.h
my ~/.profile:
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.9.2_1/lib/gcc/4.9/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin14.1.0/4.9.2/include:/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.9.2_1/bin:usr/local/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
I solved this with installing gcc with homebrew:
brew install gcc --without-multilib
and then building the source code with
CC=gcc-5 CXX=g++-5 cmake ..
CC=gcc-5 CXX=g++-5 make -j7
Once you have installed gcc-4.9 with homebrew, it will automatically be in your path. To use OpenMP, you just need to make sure you are using the newly installed gcc-4.9, and it will be able to find omp.h.
In the case of GraphChi, you will have to go change line 3 of the Makefile to be gcc-4.9. From there, running make should just work. They describe this in their README, but at least the version they describe is out of date https://github.com/GraphChi/graphchi-cpp#problems-compiling-on-mac.
clang does not support OpenMP yet. Also gcc by default links to Apple's LLVM clang compiler (not the GCC installed from brew).
Instead gcc-4.9 would link to GCC. I think if -fopenmp is specified omp.h is included automatically.
It is possible to manually build a version of clang with OpenMP support, see http://clang-omp.github.io
You shouldn't add the include path to PATH; instead, specify it as CFLAGS, including the -I option. You can export the CFLAGS variable, or set it on the fly.
Depending on how you compile things, you could do
CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.9.2_1/lib/gcc/4.9/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin14.1.0/4.9.2/include/omp.h gcc <whatever>
Of course, in this case you can specify it directly on the gcc command (as -I/usr/local/....), but the CFLAGS variable also works with configure (as configure often won't have an option to specify where it should look for specific include files); probably with make, or even for those installing a Python package: CFLAGS=-I... pip install <some-package>.
Other flags to consider are
CXXFLAGS: C++ specific pre-processor flags
LDFLAGS: linker specific flags (e.g. LDFLAGS=-L/some/path/... for linking with dynamic libraries).
CC: specify the C compiler to use. This is an easy way to avoid the built-in gcc alias for clang on OS X. Just use CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4 make or similar.
CXX: specify the C++ compiler to use.

Getting Warning while installing flink on MacBook "There is no C compiler on your system"

To get support I am installing fink on my MacBook Pro. After execute bootstrap script I am getting following error log
Checking package... looks good (fink-0.35.1).
Checking system... i386-apple-darwin12.4.0
This system is supported and tested.
Distribution: 10.8
Architecture: x86_64
Checking cc... not found.
ERROR: There is no C compiler on your system. Make sure that the Developer
Tools are installed.
I didn't find gcc in /usr/bin/ directory.
After reading here, I am guessing x-code provide default support for gcc compiler.
any one have idea what I should to get support of fink or if have any other way to get support of apt-get.
First, you need to install Xcode and its command line tools to get the gcc compiler
Make sure that you have working version of gcc in your /usr/bin directory
Create a symbolic link cc from installed gcc in /usr/bin

How to build boost with mpi support on homebrew?

According to this post (https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/2953), the flag "--with-mpi" should enable boost_mpi build support for the related homebrew formula, so I am trying to install boost via homebrew like this:
brew install boost --with-mpi
However, the actual boost mpi library is not being build and can not be found.
There is currently some work being done around this, according to: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/15689
In summary, I can currently build boost, but it seems the "--with-mpi" flag is being ignored. Could someone please check, if I should be able to build boost (with mpi support) on Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)?
The (verbose) output generates these lines:
MPI auto-detection failed: unknown wrapper compiler mpic++
Please report this error to the Boost mailing list: http://www.boost.org
You will need to manually configure MPI support.
warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library.
note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam.
note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam.
note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message.
Not sure how exactly I can fix this and get the mpi stuff to be build - any ideas?
Just in case this helps anyone else along the line, here's how I fixed this. The main error is MPI auto-detection failed: unknown wrapper compiler mpic++, any typing mpic++ at the command line verified that it was not working properly for me. I used brew to install open-mpi, but the same error was showing in the verbose output for installing boost. A run of brew doctor showed that openmpi was not linked properly, so I fixed those errors and reran brew -v install boost --with-mpi --without-single and it finally built and installed all of the libraries without a problem
To anyone that comes across this, the package migrated to boost-python and boost-mpi separate from boost. Use brew install boost-mpi
Just get it worked on OSX 10.11.5. I've tried brew, but with no luck.
Suppose you already have gcc installed. Here are what I've done:
1. Find and disable (but do not remove) clang
clang alway cause headaches. There would be a lot of warnings when building Boost.
which clang, which should give you /usr/bin/clang
Rename it: sudo mv clang clang_mac_remove, also for clang++: sudo mv clang++ clang++_mac_remove. You can change the names back if you need them in future.
2. Install OpenMPI
If you already installed using brew, uninstall first. Becasue it would have used clang as the compiler wrapper by default. You need to change the wrapper to gcc.
Download the package.
Specify the wrapper compiler to gcc and g++:
./configure CC=gcc CXX=g++ F77=ifort FC=ifort --prefix=/usr/local
Below may take a long time.
make all
sudo make install
Reference: https://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/HUGG/Open+MPI+install+on+Mac+OS+X
3. Install Boost MPI
Download the package.
Run ./bootstrap.sh (can open it first and specify the toolset to gcc, otherwise, the default option is darwin for mac).
Add using mpi ; in project-config.jam file. Then ./b2 —with-mpi will only build the mpi library.
Then, all built libraries can be found in the folder ~/Downloads/boost_1_61_0/stage/lib.
Copy or move them to /usr/local/lib or any other commonly used library path.
Reference: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html
4. Compile with Boost MPI
LIBRARY DIR = -L/usr/local/lib
INCLUDE = -I/usr/local/include/
LINKER = -lboost_mpi -lboost_serialization
e.g.
mpic++ -std=c++11 -I/usr/local/include/ -c boost_test.cpp -L/usr/local/lib -lboost_mpi -lboost_serialization
Good luck!

Problem compiling gcc 4.4.0 on OpenSolaris 2009.6

I am attempting to compile gcc 4.4.0 on opensolaris 2009.6
Currently in the box (which is a AMD 64bit machine), I have the gcc 3.4.6 installed.
I unpacked the gcc 4.4.0 tarball.
I set the following env variables:
export CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++
export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc
Then I ran "configure && make" and this is the error message that I got:
checking for i386-pc-solaris2.11-gcc... /export/home/me/wd/gcc/gcc-4.4.0/host-i386-pc-solaris2.11/gcc/xgcc -B/export/home/me/wd/gcc/gcc-4.4.0/host-i386-pc-solaris2.11/gcc/ -B/usr/local/i386-pc-solaris2.11/bin/ -B/usr/local/i386-pc-solaris2.11/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/i386-pc-solaris2.11/include -isystem /usr/local/i386-pc-solaris2.11/sys-include -m64
checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in `/export/home/me/wd/gcc/gcc-4.4.0/i386-pc-solaris2.11/amd64/libgcc':
configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile
See `config.log' for more details.
Anyone has any suggestion as to how to work around this error message?
/Edit:
Content of the config.log is posted here: link text
Normally the GCC build is bootstrapped, i.e. first it uses the system compiler to build GCC C compiler, and then it uses the freshly built compiler to recompile GCC once again (and then even once more time again). The configure line shows that it is not the system compiler but the already-built GCC compiler which is used for configure test there.
Since it fails, the problem is that the freshly-built GCC is somehow "stillborn" here. If config.log will not help you, I'd suggest to ask at gcc-help#gcc.gnu.org.
EDIT: Ah-ha, I think it is the assembler. You are using GNU assembler, but the unsupported options look like they were meant for Sun assembler. This should be solved by adding --with-gnu-as configure option (and then possibly having to specify its path explicitly with --with-as=/usr/gnu/bin/as)
You can also take a look at Solaris-specific GCC build instructions.
There's a readily available build for gcc4, which you can try updating. Its current version is 4.3.3. To get started, install pkg-get from OpenCSW and check out the build from the subversion repository:
svn co https://gar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/gcc4/trunk/ gcc4
cd gcc4
gmake package
