macOS gcc doesn't work

[Mister V]

Hi guys,

the problem which I am struggling with is that I wanna compile an objectiveC code via terminal and it doesn't work.

I have the Xcode 3 version but OS X Mountain Lion.

After entering the command

gcc -framework Foundation -fobjc-gc-only -o Program sourcecode.m

terminal says: bash:command gcc not found

Xcode 4.5 is a free download from the App Store.

Any particular reason why you are trying to use gcc and not clang?

What about

/usr/bin/gcc -framework Foundation -fobjc-gc-only -o Program sourcecode.m

I've already tried clang... :/
reason: OS X Mountain Lion and old version of xcode?

Download Xcode 4 from the App Store (it's free), then open preferences -> downloads and download & install the command line tools.

IDK of any other ways to install the command line tools (not that I've tried.)

They now have a download that's only 171MB instead of almost 2GB for all of XCode. It just includes the command-line tools.

Silly me, I though that package required Xcode to be installed first. At least that's how I've used it.
