IntelliJ IDEA 12 setup for C/C++ on OSX

I recently decided to try IntelliJ IDEA 12 CE.

I Successfully installed their C/C++ plugin and restarted the IDE.

Now after I click File->New Project->C/C++ Module, next window prompts me to "Choose Cpp SDK".

I'm stuck at this window, tried entering many paths and failed. My system is OSX Mountain Lion, Xcode 4.5.2 with command-line tools installed. Compiling from command line with gcc works just fine.

If you installed IntelliJ IDEA via the Toolbox App, the plugins directory will be located in the installation directory. To find the installation directory, open the settings of the IDE instance in the Toolbox App, expand Configuration and look for the Install location field.

I can confirm that using Idea 12.0.1 Ultimate (Build Id 123.94) and Xcode 4.5.1 on OSX this simply works. At the dialog for "Choose Cpp SDK" I wrote /usr/bin/gcc (which was what "which gcc" returns on my system. I used version 0.8 build 4.

There is a nice C++/Obj-C IDE from JetBrains for development on OSX - AppCode. Not so long ago it updated to 2.0 version. Most IDEA functionality and plugins are supported.
