Gcc_Select on Mac OSX lion

[t.holley.os]

Hey, I am having troubles with building the game on Mac OSX Lion...I've gotten through all the instructions then started to build and it failed so I tried building with gcc 4.3, but when I try to select it using gcc_select ( yes I installed that too) it says that gcc_select command not found, any idea how to fix this?

Please post the error-messages. Maybe it's not even related to the gcc-version.

I've successfully built the game on Lion using GCC 4.2 (though it's very noisy), so it's unlikely to be the problem. As far as using gcc_select, see this article

[t.holley.os]

well here is the error from trying to build with 4.2...

checking whether the C compiler (gcc-4.2 ) works... no

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

ERROR: SpiderMonkey build failed

So looks to me that it is gcc-4.2? but i've tried switching to 4.3 and I still can't figure it out...I do what that link says, i do cd /usr/sbin then sudo gcc_select mpp-gcc43 like the instructions say to do, and i still get this

admins-MacBook-Pro:sbin admin$ sudo gcc_select mpp-gcc43

Password:

sudo: gcc_select: command not found

any ideas now?

I've had this too on a snow leopard. As far as I remember I solved it by reinstalling xcode.

Maybe this could also be interesting for you.
