I have found a page which has steps to instal cppcheck on Mac OSX, but it is not clear what are we doing with 2nd step
Press Command+Space and type Terminal and press enter/return key.
Run in Terminal app:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
and press enter/return key. Wait for the command to finish.
brew install cppcheck
Homebrew helps you install packages (software).
You need to install it in order to use it; that is what step 2 is doing, installing Homebrew.
Then, you can use homebrew commands to install available packages, like the one you have in step 3 (cppcheck).

I'm having xcode issues when I try to use brew and git:
xcrun: error: active developer path ("/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer") does not exist, use xcode-select --switch path/to/Xcode.app to specify the Xcode that you wish to use for command line developer tools (or see man xcode-select)
I can type xcode-select and it shows that the command exists. When I type xcode-select -p it shows:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
but when I do which xcode-select, it gives me:
/usr/bin/xcode-select
I've tried to use the command switch and install again via Apple Developer site but none of these options have work so far... How can I fix this?
I tried that and it didn't work but I found the answer. I just had to reset the developer's path:
$ sudo xcode-select --reset
Now everything is normal
Mostly this error occurs when you have installed a newer version of xcode. And the command line tools are yet to be initialized.
To resolve this:
Go under Xcode Preferences > Locations (tab) > And the bottom options is Command Line Tools. Please select the Xcode version for tools.
Example (For Xcode 10.0 (10A255) ):
Go under Xcode Preferences > Locations (tab) > And the bottom options is Command Line Tools. Select Xcode 10.0 (10A255).
For more details please see this image:
In my case, I had uninstalled Xcode and then issues with git cli started. I solved the problem running the following commands:
$ sudo xcode-select -r
$ sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
and then validating new path with:
$ sudo xcode-select -p
I have faced the same issue as I have uninstalled the XCode abruptly, running the below command (from Terminal) helped me to resolve this.
sudo xcode-select -switch /
This error coming because xcode get deleted, corrupt or moved.
In my case i removed xcode from my Mac and faced the same issue.
I fixed it by simple two steps
Open Terminal
Simply run following command
sudo xcode-select -r
And now error has resolved. Hope it will helpful.
Use this:
sudo xcode-select -switch /
This should solve the problem.
How about what the error suggests? Did you try that?
xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app
That should do the trick.
For me it helps to install Xcode CLI
xcode-select --install
after uninstalling XCode (I don't develop for the OSx or iOS)
Then I could successfully build downloaded source with make
Try error suggestion :
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app
And Then test Git Executable Path.
I had the same problem and had to remove completely Developer tools, and reinstall:
$ rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
$ xcode-select --install
Tip: because Xcode had been improperly uninstalled, I had to manually (re)move the Xcode app, too:
$ mv /Applications/Xcode.app/ /Applications/Xcode.app.bak
In my case such error occurred after I has tried to symbolicate crash report, and according to a manual, entered command export DEVELOPER_DIR=”/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer”
I tried some proposed here solutions but nothing helped.
Then I realized that I have added an environment variable DEVELOPER_DIR to my terminal and this led to error: "xcrun: error: missing DEVELOPER_DIR path:"
Then I've just reboot my terminal, that cleaned the environment variable and the error disappeared.
(FYI: environment variables may be checked with printenv command in terminal)
for my mbp m1 apple sillicon for the case alr tried all the above answer and not solved.
i have solved by here discussion https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/660641
there is have 2 option to solve, my case...
i have uninstalled xcode because i don't need again
install standalone mode, doesnt work. can't install the software
solved by try download manual command line tools check on the discussion thread for the link file ( 741.5 MB ) .
I try to debug a trivial helloworld cpp project with qtcreator.
When I start debugging the project, I obtain an error saying:
The selected build of GDB does not support Python scripting.
It cannot be used in Qt Creator.
My system is debian9
My QT version is 5.14.2Here is my .pro file:
QT += widgets
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES = main.cpp
Can anyone show me how I should configure GDB with QT to avoid this error?
As #Mark Plotnik (Thank you Mark) suggested, you have a gdb-minimal installed.
Running dpkg --get-selections | grep gdb, you should have an ouput like the following:
gdb-minimal install
gdbm-l10n install
libgdbm-compat4:amd64 install
libgdbm6:amd64 install
wireless-regdb install
Only gdb-minimal, there is no gdb.
Here is what I did to solve this problem on my debian 9 system:
sudo apt install gdb
to get the full gdb.
If you rerun the command after the installation dpkg --get-selections | grep gdb, you should have :
gdb install
gdb-minimal deinstall
gdbm-l10n install
libgdbm-compat4:amd64 install
libgdbm6:amd64 install
wireless-regdb install
You should have gdb installed and gdb-minimal uninstalled.
After this, I retested debugging on qtCreator and it works now.
Is there a way to install Valgrind on Catalina and have it run properly? If so, I would very much appreciate a step-by-step process.
I tried installing Valgrind with https://github.com/sowson/valgrind
but when I tested out helloWorld.cpp on the terminal, the console returned errors I should not have gotten.
I'm not sure if I committed an error on my part in the installation process of this version of Valgrind or if Valgrind itself is simply incompatible with Catalina OS.
I have also tried installing Valgrind via Homebrew, but I've had issues with that as well (github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/36683).
Currently, no. The repo you link has an issue raised about Catalina compatibility. As you also show, the brew package has its own problems as well. Official valgrind only supports 10.12.
You'll just have to wait, or containerize it. Although if you containerize valgrind, you would likely need a compatible build container as well.
Ok. I've found a way to use Valgrind on Catalina. Here's a link to my guide for how https://github.com/john-yohan-park/Valgrind_Catalina
Works amazingly!! see https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos/issues/5.
Not Homebrew, you need to compile it from source, but it's not so difficult.
1. git clone https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos.git
2. cd valgrind
3. sudo ./autogen.sh
4. sudo ./configure --prefix=/where/you/want/it/installed --enable-only64bit
5. copy the [contents][1] to ./coregrind/m_mach/mach_basics.c
6. sudo make
7. sudo make install
enjoy!
This is how I just did it on Catalina 10.15.5:
brew remove valgrind # remove previous attempts at installing it (if any)
brew tap LouisBrunner/valgrind
brew install --HEAD LouisBrunner/valgrind/valgrind
Source: https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos
I am on Mac OS X using codeblocks 10.05
I downloaded Valgrind, and extracted a folder. I am completely lost from there, and have no idea how to build it.
I do not know ANY terminal/console commands and am generally new to programming, so I have no idea how to "build" or "compile" it. I just have a folder called Valgrind with a bunch of random files in it.
Could someone please tell me how to proceed? I already checked the website/documentation but it didn't really give me installation instructions, just usage instructions.
Thanks
PS: I know I already posted this question, but the previous question was shut down, for being too vague. I reposted this one with more info.
PSS: All that I am basically asking is what do I do to install Valgrind right after I download it from the website and extract the files?
Recommended:
Use brew: brew install valgrind
Manual Install:
Here's what worked on my Mac (10.6). Double-check you have the latest version, then change into the uncompressed directory
cd /users/(insert username here)/downloads/valgrind-3.17.0
I suggest you do as another posted and read the readme.
nano README
Commence the build; /usr/local is the place on the filesystem that the program will be installed to. There are many arguments like prefix that are available to customize the installation to your particular system if it doesn't work by default. Normally just using ./configure works perfectly well though.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
Or you could probably get it from fink or macports or homebrew.
You can install it through brew for Mac:
brew install valgrind
You might have to manually link the entry to /usr/local/bin as brew refused to do it in my case:
$ ln /usr/local/Cellar/valgrind/3.8.1/bin/vgdb /usr/local/bin/vgdb
ln: /usr/local/bin/vgdb: Permission denied
$ sudo ln /usr/local/Cellar/valgrind/3.8.1/bin/vgdb /usr/local/bin/vgdb
On MacOS High Sierra
If you have the following error message:
brew install valgrind
valgrind: This formula either does not compile or function as expected on macOS
versions newer than Sierra due to an upstream incompatibility.
Fix
(1) To correctly install it, first, type the following command at the Terminal (which opens Valgrind’s formulae)
brew edit valgrind
And change the URL in head section
https://sourceware.org/git/valgrind.git
to
git://sourceware.org/git/valgrind.git
(2) Do an update for Homebrew:
brew update
(3) Finally, use the following command to install Valgrind from the HEAD:
brew install --HEAD valgrind

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/18998
For macOS Big Sur / Monterey:
brew tap LouisBrunner/valgrind
brew install --HEAD LouisBrunner/valgrind/valgrind
The core process is pretty simple:
Make sure you are in the correct directory.
First run:
./configure
when that is finished, run:
make
at this point you will need to su into root (this is relatively tricky to do, see the note at the end). As root, run:
make install
When this is finished you will have a working valgrind installation. Test it by running
valgrind ls -l
To su into root, you will need to have set up a root account. If you have not done this in the past, see the instructions from apple here.
To perform the actual su, you will first have to be running an account with administrator privileges. If you are not already doing so, you can switch users with the following:
su admin
where admin is the name of an user with administrator privileges (you will need to enter the password for this account). From there, you can then run su to go into root:
su
You will need to enter the root password that you set up earlier.
You may find it easier to use something like macports. How to install that is probably beyond the scope of this question, but they have a page dedicated to it on their site.
Once you have macports installed, you need to type:
sudo port install valgrind +universal
As you say you don't have any experience of command lines, let's just briefly go through the different parts of this command:
sudo means the rest of the command will run as root, and will ask for your password. This is needed for the installer to have the correct permissions
port is the command line tool for managing macports
install is a command for port. Try port help to see a list of commands.
valgrind tells macports what it should be installing
+universal is a variant. This tells macports to configure valgrind to support 32 bit and 64 bit support.
How do you install Boost on MacOS?
Right now I can't find bjam for the Mac.
You can get the latest version of Boost by using Homebrew.
brew install boost.
Download MacPorts, and run the following command:
sudo port install boost
Just get the source, and compile Boost yourself; it has become very easy. Here is an example for the current version of Boost on the current macOS as of this writing:
Download the the .tar.gz from https://www.boost.org/users/download/#live
Unpack and go into the directory:tar -xzf boost_1_50_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_50_0
Configure (and build bjam):
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/some/dir/you/would/like/to/prefix
Build:
./b2
Install:./b2 install
Depending on the prefix you choose in Step 3, you might need to sudo Step 5, if the script tries copy files to a protected location.
Unless your compiler is different than the one supplied with the Mac XCode Dev tools, just follow the instructions in section 5.1 of Getting Started Guide for Unix Variants. The configuration and building of the latest source couldn't be easier, and it took all about about 1 minute to configure and 10 minutes to compile.
Install both of them using homebrew separately.
brew install boost
brew install bjam
Fink appears to have a full set of Boost packages...
With fink installed and running just do
fink install boost1.35.nopython
at the terminal and accept the dependencies it insists on. Or use
fink list boost
to get a list of different packages that are availible.
Install Xcode from the mac app store.
Then use the command:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
the above will install homebrew and allow you to use brew in terminal
then just use command :
brew install boost
which would then install the boost libraries to <your macusername>/usr/local/Cellar/boost
In order to avoid troubles compiling third party libraries that need boost installed in your system, run this:
sudo port install boost +universal
Try +universal
One thing to note: in order for that to make a difference you need to have built python with +universal, if you haven't or you're not sure you can just rebuild python +universal. This applies to both brew as well as macports.
$ brew reinstall python
$ brew install boost
OR
$ sudo port -f uninstall python
$ sudo port install python +universal
$ sudo port install boost +universal
you can download bjam for OSX (or any other OS) here
If you are too lazy like me:
conda install -c conda-forge boost
