C Compilers For Mac Os

Out of the box, OS X Lion doesn’t have the command line C compilers. Plus, Apple has once again changed the way you install those compilers in /usr/bin. Here’s how to do it with the latest. 5 Ways to Write C Code on Your Mac. It’s not a step-by-step tutorial on how to write and compile code in the applications described. A list of best C, C compilers to work with Mac OS X, Linux, Windows 7/8/8.1 OS environment is given here – Eclipse C Compiler. With Eclipse you get advance functionality for programming in C, C on an open-source platform. This IDE is really a simple to use IDE, perfect for anyone new to programming.

Cross Compilers for Mac OS X

For some of my softwares, I needed to built a multi platform distribution package, including executable for Windows and Linux. As I mainly work on Mac, I have decided to built GCC cross compilers for Windows and Linux. Then I have built Mac OS X packages in order to make installation simplest.

Compiling for WIN32 on Mac OS X

This is a cross compilation of MinGW on Mac OS X.

A package installs all files in the given intallation directory, for example in /usr/local/i386-mingw32-3.4.5for release 2 for Intel Mac.

All tools are located in the bin sub directory. You can add this path to your $PATH shell variable, or invoke the tools with their full path name: for example /usr/local/i386-mingw32-3.4.5/bin/i386-mingw32-gcc for gcc. Note tool names always begin by i386, even for Power PC: for example, /usr/local/ppc-mingw32-4.3.0/bin/i386-mingw32-gcc.

You can find some sample code in MinGW sample code page.

Compiling for Linux on MacOS X

This is a cross compilation of GCC on Mac OS X.

A package installs all files in the given installation directory. Within the installed directory, the contents.txt file contains the detail of cross-compiled archives.

All tools are located in the bin sub directory. You can add this path to your PATH shell variable, or invoke the tools with their full path name: for example /usr/local/gcc-4.5.2-for-linux32/bin/i586-pc-linux-gcc for gcc.

Note

For better portability of Linux tools built with theses cross compilation chains, invoke the linker with the -static option, for example:

• /usr/local/gcc-4.5.2-for-linux32/bin/i586-pc-linux-gcc -static for C linking;

• /usr/local/gcc-4.5.2-for-linux32/bin/i586-pc-linux-g++ -static for C++ linking.
