    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?

    Code:
    /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.
