Installing compiler (GCC) for host (MAC)

 

 

 

How to install GCC in MAC?

Let’s install a host compiler that is GCC on a MAC machine. To install GCC on a Mac machine, you first have to install Homebrew. 

For that, open the terminal and now open the web browser.

Now, this installs the Homebrew packages on the machine. Please be patient until the installation completes. 

After that, to install GCC, type the command brew install gcc and please wait for the completion of the installation.

Then you can just type the command gcc to verify the gcc. And here, we can see that the gcc command is detected, and it runs. (Figure 6)
