Question

I want to compile C   code on MacOS X  using the g   compiler  How do I install it

User · Answer

Type g   or make  on terminal   This will prompt for you to install the developer tools  if they are missing   Also the size will be very less when compared to xcode

That s the compiler that comes with Apple s XCode tools package   They ve hacked on it a little  but basically it s just g     You can download XCode for free  well  mostly  you do have to sign up to become an ADC member  but that s free too  here  http   developer apple com technology xcode html  Edit 2013-01-25  This answer was correct in 2010  It needs an update   While XCode tools still has a command-line C   compiler  In recent versions of OS X  I think 10 7 and later  have switched to clang llvm  mostly because Apple wants all the benefits of Open Source without having to contribute back and clang is BSD licensed   Secondly  I think all you have to do to install XCode is to download it from the App store  I m pretty sure it s free there   So  in order to get g   you ll have to use something like homebrew  seemingly the current way to install Open Source software on the Mac  though homebrew has a lot of caveats surrounding installing gcc using it    fink  basically Debian s apt system for OS X Darwin   or MacPorts  Basically  OpenBSDs ports system for OS X Darwin  to get it   Fink definitely has the right packages  On 2016-12-26  it had gcc 5 and gcc 6 packages   I m less familiar with how MacPorts works  though some initial cursory investigation indicates they have the relevant packages as well

Installing XCode requires    Enrolling on the Apple website  not fun  Downloading a 4 7G installer   To install g    WITHOUT  having to download the MASSIVE 4 7G xCode install  try this package   https   github com kennethreitz osx-gcc-installer  The DMG files linked on that page are  270M and much quicker to install   This was perfect for me  getting homebrew up and running with a minimum of hassle   The github project itself is basically a script that repackages just the critical chunks of xCode for distribution  In order to run that script and build the DMG files  you d need to already have an XCode install  which would kind of defeat the point  so the pre-built DMG files are hosted on the project page

xcode is now available for free from the app store   Just  buy it   for free  and it will download   To get the command line tools go into preferences downloads and  install command line compiler tools      Instead of gcc you are using clang  but it works the same
