C compiler in Snow Leopard Terminal!?!?!?

oneofakind32

Hey! I recently up graded to snow leopard. Since then I have been unable to compile c files using the cc command in the terminal. I use xcode to write my C files but I cant figure out how to compile the files in xcode.
Can anyone shed some light on where the compiler is gone and how to compile a basic c program using xcode! Any help would be appreciated!

Do you get some sort of error message? Maybe try gcc instead.

There should be a compile button in the project window (I think) in Xcode.

First try gcc instead of cc. If that doesn't work Install Xcode/developer tools from your install DVDs and make sure you install the optional Unix development tools.

To build in Xcode just hit cmd-B. Make sure your project is initially set up using cmd-shift-N and then set up with an appropriate template (console or terminal or something. Can't remember off the top of my head)

Red Alert

gcc -v
should tell you the version.

XCode should just automatically compile any C files you put in there into a project.

My compiler looks a bit like this.

neal-heneghans-computer:desktop nealheneghan$ ls
Big Me.rtf crucial order no..rtf
C junk guess.c
neal-heneghans-computer:desktop nealheneghan$ cc guess.c
-bash: cc: command not found
neal-heneghans-computer:desktop nealheneghan$ gcc guess.c
-bash: gcc: command not found
neal-heneghans-computer:desktop nealheneghan$ gcc -v
-bash: gcc: command not found
neal-heneghans-computer:desktop nealheneghan$ gcc-v
-bash: gcc-v: command not found
neal-heneghans-computer:desktop nealheneghan$

Will try reinstalling xcode from the snow leopard disk and get back to ye

You sure you've put Xcode on it?

As far as I am aware, for snow leopard you need to install the version that comes with it or later for it to work.
