Hello,

I just downloaded CLion for a school assignment, on boot I receive this error;

/Applications/CLion.app/Contents/bin/cmake/bin/cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -G "CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles" /Users/uses/CLionProjects/Lab11a

CMake Error at /Applications/CLion.app/Contents/bin/cmake/share/cmake-3.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:51 (message):
The C compiler "/usr/bin/cc" is not able to compile a simple test program.

It fails with the following output:

That was the entire reading from the "CMake" section near the bottom of the screen.

Any solutions or information would be appreciated

Hi!

Do you have GCC/G++ or Clang installed on your machine?

Please provide us with the screenshot of the Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Toolchains.

Hi, Alex! Please try executing xcode-select --install in the terminal, it should help.

The Travishorstman's question was resolved via email, but I paste the solution here too:

setting the path to the Xcode folder in the Terminal (sudo xcode-select -switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/) helped.
