I am taking a programming class and we are required to use the gcc

  • 0

I am taking a programming class and we are required to use the gcc 4.1.2 compiler to compile our c++ projects. I will be creating my projects in xcode and can’t find how to set that compiler. I went to the get info window on the project and hit the drop down under Compiler Version, however I do not have 4.1.2 on the list. It seems that this compiler is not installed on my computer. Does anybody know where I can download it and how I can set it as my system default gcc compiler for the term?

    You can probably get away with using whatever version of GCC is on your Mac, and doing a final compile on the university machines as a check. In general, the user visible changes using a later version is stricter syntax checking, so you might do something on the Mac that won’t pass a newer compiler, but that generally isn’t too common. I haven’t had to change more than a few lines on our 50k line codebase.
