      [quote author="wayfaerer" date="1335805077"] … I tried searching the Mac app store for command line tools and didn't find anything. But now I realize it's just an add-on. I'll try installing it.[/quote]

      I'm glad that solved solved the problem!
      Can you let me in on the secret of where to get these tools? I hope that I don't have to download Xcode again - that took nearly a day out here.

      Dumb question. See the very first reply!!!!!

        In new Xcode releases (>= 4.3) cmd line tools can be installed through Xcode Preferences window (although getting the package from dev page is still OK and valid ;)).

              Best way is of course to get a real OS like Linux or even Windows, if you feel masochistic.

              Sorry, couldn't stop myself, but I don't like Mac OS. Jokes aside now, and onto your question: I think we need a bit more data. What have you set xcode-select path to? Which version of Xcode are you using (and which MacOS)? Is the situation the same as for wayfaerer, that is - Xcode compilation works, but command line fails?

                Yes, I think you are right. I might stick with Ubuntu to develop in C++.

                I am still fighting with MacOS because I have a lot of friends that love Xcode, so I am still giving a try. But eventually (very soon) I might abandon MacOS for that!! :)

                I am using Lion, and Xcode 4.4 with command line installed. I used the command:
                sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

                As I don't have experience with Xcode so I am not using it. I just wrote a little program using vi and complied using g++ and c++, through Terminal program.

                This command line should be used inside XCode?

                There is still hope for me? :0)

                Thanks a lot!

                  Hm, so standard compilation works, yet you still can't install the SDK? I'm out of ideas, apart from one workaround: install Qt libraries and QtCreator separately, without using the SDK.

                    Oh, and be sure to use 4.8.2, as makespecs for xcode are not working with 4.8.1.
