We assume that you are using homebrew as a package manager.
You need a C++11-compatible compiler to build Lean. As of November 2014, you have three options:
- clang++-3.5 (shipped with OSX, Apple LLVM version 6.0)
- gcc-4.9.1 (homebrew)
- clang++-3.5 (homebrew)
We recommend to use Apple's clang++ because it is pre-shipped with OS X and requires no further installation.
To install gcc-4.9.1 via homebrew, please execute:
brew install gcc
To install clang++-3.5 via homebrew, please execute:
brew install llvm
To use compilers other than the default one (Apple's clang++), you
need to use -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER
option to specify the compiler
that you want to use when you run cmake
. For example, do the
following to use g++
.
cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ ...
brew install cmake
brew install gmp
brew install libuv
brew install ccache
