TIGCC-macOS

TIGCC (and goodies like tixcode) modified and compiled for macOS, so you don't have to do it yourself.

Note: I did not write TIGCC, or have anything to do with its development. I'm just an ordinary user trying to get it to work on my computer.

Usage

Download the repository and move it to wherever you like (for example, /usr/local/tigcc). Make sure to set TIGCC in your .bash_profile (or equivalent):

export TIGCC=/usr/local/tigcc # or wherever you copied the files to

and add TIGCC and its related tools to your PATH if you so desire:

export PATH="$PATH:$TIGCC/bin"

Compiling TIGCC yourself

Download the source code for TIGCC for Linux and Unix from here (direct link) and read through the OS X install instructions, downloading GCC and Binutils as required. A few of the many caveats required to build it:

• The installation scripts require GNU Coreutils. If you're using Homebrew, install them, then go through all the scripts (in scripts/) and prefix all the Coreutils commands (cp, mkdir, rm, etc.) with "g".
• The sources will fail to compile with Clang. Install GCC (I used apple-gcc42 from homebrew/dupes/apple-gcc42), and use this hack to make sure the install scripts use it:

$ sudo mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc.bak # This is actually Clang
$ sudo ln -s "$(which gcc-4.2)" /usr/bin/gcc # "Move" our GCC
# Restore the original "GCC" once TIGCC is installed
$ sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc
$ sudo mv /usr/bin/gcc.bak /usr/bin/gcc

• If the install fails, delete everything and go through the install steps one by one (use scripts/Install_step_1, etc.) to figure out where it failed.

If I missed anything (which I probably did, since this took a lot of effort to build) please let me know and I'll add it.
