I just updated to OS X Mavericks and it seems it messed up my whole compiler setup. Not only do I have to reinstall a JDK in order to use a Java compiler, I get the following error when I'm trying to compile C/C++ using GCC/G++:
/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.7.2/gcc/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.1/4.7.2/../../../../include/c++/4.7.2/cwchar:46:19: fatal error: wchar.h: No such file or directory
Not sure what to think other than upgrading messed it up. My question is: how do I set up g++ to compile on OS X? If it's already set up, what is the problem here?
If I can provide more information, please let me know.
Note: I've installed gcc 4.7 using homebrew, but it doesn't seem to work. When I use g++-4.7 code.cpp specifically, I get the same error.
Installing the Command Line Tools (OS X Mavericks) for Xcode - Late October 2013 solved it for me. Here is the link:
OSX: Xcode Downloads
The often mentioned xcode-select --install command kept saying it cannot find the requested software.
To clarify: You need to already have gcc-4.7 installed using Homebrew. The update to the latest version of CMD Tools only fixes compatibility issues caused by upgrading from Mountain Lion to Mavericks.

We're installing a bunch of GNU tools and just upgraded xcode to 4.3 and downloaded and installed all the gcc tools through it.
Now we're trying to install wget, which requires a few other packges, some of which are complaining that /usr/local/share/info does not exist.
Where is the correct or preferred location for things to install under Lion / xcode? /Developer/usr/local?
I've found a number of good reference here but none that answer this specific quandary.
Suggestion greatly - GREATLY! - appreciated.
Have you tried MacPorts, which has a port for wget?
I am trying to install dph-examples in mac os x version 10.7.2 and I got this error. How ever on ghci , I can see
ghci>import Data.Array.Parallel.
Data.Array.Parallel.Base Data.Array.Parallel.Base.DTrace Data.Array.Parallel.Base.TracePrim Data.Array.Parallel.Stream
but not Data.Array.Parallel , Data.Array.Parallel.Prelude and Data.Array.Parallel.Prelude.Double. I copied the example ( it uses these libraries ) given on Data-Parallel-Haskell and its working fine. My program is compiling and running so my question is, why i am not able to see these library at ghci prompt. Also i am not able to find the reference for sumP function at the Data-Array-Parallel. I am using ghc-7.2.1.
GHC depends on Xcode 3.2:
The package requires Xcode 3.2 (in particular, the "Unix Development Support") to be already installed.
— GHC 7.2.1 download page
Xcode 3.2 should already come with LLVM, so if it's not already installed, installing it should fix things. If you already have it installed, then your installation might be broken somehow; you could try reinstalling it to make sure. I think Xcode 4 isn't fully supported by GHC yet, so if you have it installed, that might be the problem; you could try uninstalling it and installing 3.2 instead.
Warning: Couldn't figure out LLVM version!
Make sure you have installed LLVM
Perhaps you didn't install LLVM? Go install LLVM.
I've just found out, that my homebrew doesn't work anymore after I upgraded to OS X Lion.
$ brew install clojure
Warning: Xcode is not installed! Builds may fail!
Error: No such file or directory - /usr/bin/cc
and
$ brew doctor
We couldn't detect gcc 4.2.x. Some formulae require this compiler.
We couldn't detect gcc 4.0.x. Some formulae require this compiler.
You have no /usr/bin/cc. This will cause numerous build issues. Please
reinstall Xcode.
Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH can break dynamic linking.
You should probably unset it.
after some googling, I found out that I should upgrade Xcode to version 4.1. The problem is, I have version 3.2.5 installed and I can't find any way of uninstalling it.
When I look at App Store, it looks like I don't have Xcode installed at all. I'm afraid that if I install it via App Store, it will somehow conflict with the version I have currently installed. However I can't find it in Applications, and I can't find any update function either.
Software Update doesn't prompt me to update Xcode, and I also don't see it in Installed Software.
What should I do?
Thanks to the readme found at /Developer, I found a way to uninstall Xcode via
$ sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
edit: I just ran the installer for Xcode 4, and it detected old version of Xcode, offering me to move it to /Developer-old.
I fixed it by
In theory this should work if you have Xcode4.3 installed (in /Applications):
$ sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/
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.
I have installed the developer tools. I can compile code via Xcode and according to the docs /usr/bin/gcc & /usr/bin/cc should point to /usr/bin/gcc-4.0. Neither the symlinks or gcc-4.0 exist on my system (Snow Leopard). All I wish to do is compile some C on the terminal! I'm amazed by how complicated this task is. The command GCC is unsurprisingly returning "gcc: command not found".
Can anyone shed some light on this?
No! Reinstalling is the wrong answer!
Newer versions of XCode require you to install the command-line versions of the tools separately. In XCode, go to Preferences | Downloads, check the Components tab, and install them from there:
These binaries should be there after installing xcode. Check your path settings, and if you still don't have these reinstall xcode
Command line tools are no longer included with the latest XCode (even as an add on). Now you can download them here:
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action
Did you install the latest Xcode after installing Snow Leopard, or is this the version of Xcode from a previous OS installation?
On my system with a clean Snow Leopard install the default compiler (and the one symlinked from cc and gcc) is gcc-4.2
I do have gcc-4.0 too, although it's not the default.
