How to find arm-apple-darwin#-llvm-gcc-4.2 compiler on Xcode 5?

Question

I am tying a cross compilation and for that I need to find where Xcode have placed the arm-gcc compiller.

It used to be in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2 but it has vanished in Xcode 5.

Any Ideas?

Answer 1

Use the newer clang compiler instead like this: -

for CC: xcrun -find -sdk iphoneos clang

for CXX: xcrun -find -sdk iphoneos clang++

Answer 2

It's usually best to use xcrun -find to dynamically locate Xcode command-line tools for you, rather than explicitly using a path, since the path to Xcode tools may change over time. See man xcrun for details on how to use it, including details on the -sdk iphoneos flag you may need to pass to look for iOS tools.

If xcrun cannot locate the tool, it may no longer be included as part of Xcode. See the release notes for Xcode 5 to check if something has been officially removed.
