Mac help, "can't find compiler executable in your search path (GNU GCC compi
« on: February 22, 2013, 05:06:12 am »
Hello all, I'm a total newbie at this stuff and am in need of some help. I'm a mac user and just downloaded codeblocks and at first startup i get the "can't find compiler executable in your search path (GNU GCC compiler)" msg. Can anyone please lend a hand? I've searched and read a few other topics but those seem to deal with windows machines  :-\  Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

Did you install the Xcode compiler?

If not, do so.

Note: That is all I know on this subject; so, no more help from me.

Once Xcode is installed, you may also need to install the command line tools in order to have them all in the system path. You can find the option in the preferences dialog of Xcode, in the Downloads section of it.

BTW, you better setup Code::Blocks to make use of Clang (3.2 as of Xcode 4.6) after installing the command line tools, which is more up to date than the GNU GCC that comes with it.
