| just upgraded to mountain lion - yeah I know I should wait. all went well ran blitzmax got the following error: can't find sh: gcc: ok, so how did I get things to work? 1. downloaded and instelled the new xcode 4.4 2. downloaded and installed blitzmax 1.48 (I was using a heavily customised ver 1.44) 3. did a test compile : new app, compile & still the same errors - It turns out that the compiler (gcc) is not installed by default 4. run Xcode, goto preferences > download and install the command line tools 5. check if gcc is now present by running "utils/terminal.app" 6. type gcc at the prompt. If all is good you should get something like the following: i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2: no input file if you get something else, you might not have cgg and xcode properly installed? 6. go back to blitz and try to run it and compile - all should work :) |

| Thanks a lot mate.... I was about to dl Mountain Lion today, and I realized Blitz could have some trouble.... (Well, I can continue my projects on my PPC mac and even on Windows but still I'm glad you solved this) ;) |
| ||
| fwiw this is the same requirement since XCode 4.3 which moved the command line tools into a sub install since XCode no longer uses an installer that puts stuff in a development folder, it's just an app. I haven't had any issues under ML that weren't introduced with Lion (and since worked out). |

| I''m getting the linker error too, and modules won't compile as it can't find stdio.h and the rest of the C libraries. Gcc is installed fine and i can compile and run a C program, but max seems not to want to play. Cheers Charlie |

| I know Xcode is trying to shift over to LLVM, which is supposedly faster than GCC, so that would explain the why. |
| ||
| @jkrankie, same here, I am still looking for a fix if indeed there is one? |
| ||
| There I've fixed it: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=98422#1149804 |

| Thank you so much d-bug, that did the trick! I think BRL should update to the 10.7 or 10.8 SDKs instead of falling behind at 10.6. :/ |
| ||
| We must take note to the fact that Mountain Lion is very young. I could not download it before yesterday. I trust that BRL will fix this issue ASAP. Lucky me, I had BlitzMax installed on a seperate volume with all my modules still in tact, meaning all my current BMax projects do compile. ;) |
| ||
| Mark will eventually fix it. Hopefully sooner than later. I still haven't upgraded mine since the same thing happened last time when upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion. |
| ||
| This is reported into the bug-report thread where Mark has now officially announced a fix coming very soon. |
