macOS gcc4.4 in XCode

[er2020]

I want to be able the use the compiler (installed with fink) /sw/bin/gcc-4 within XCode. Is it feasible? How? Is it by setting up XCode > Build > Compiler version > Other, or Target info > Rules?

Let me ask again : Is the command line my only option for using gcc-4, or is someone aware of -any- IDE that can be set up to use it, and how?

Thanks.

Since /usr/bin/gcc (or other similar forms residing in /usr/bin) is simply a symlink, I don't see why you can't change it to be a symlink that points to anything you want. You will need sudo for this.

Yes, this is a hack, but it's a simple and easily reversible hack.

All that is needed is to set up Code Blocks like this:

Settings > Compiler > Toolchain exec
​

and provide the new pathname and exec.
