2.4 Platform Specific Installation Issues

2.4.2 macOS Configuration

The build procedure for macOS is the same as for Unix. The platform name is “darwin”. If the platform configuration check does not find a C++ compiler, then you will have to install one. One option is the Xcode command line developer tools provided by Apple. You can install these from a Terminal window via the command

xcode-select --install

You should run this command even if you install the full Xcode IDE. Refer to your system documentation for details.
