I'm trying to compile my code with g++

g++ practice.cpp

I have xcode command line tools installed, but I get this error. What should I do?

sh: line 1:  1258 Abort trap: 6           /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -sdk macosx -find g++ 2> /dev/null

Didn't you try the *gcc* command? That's what we use for g++ – itsols May 18 '19 at 01:15

I tried gcc and had the same error – Katerina May 18 '19 at 02:02
Could you include your command used as part of the question? That'll make it easier to recognise the problem. – itsols May 18 '19 at 02:24
I presume you're using Linux or MacOS – itsols May 18 '19 at 02:25
I'm using MacOS – Katerina May 18 '19 at 02:41
I'm not sure about setting the path on a Mac, but here's something I think may help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7445355/g-in-mac-osx-10-7 – itsols May 18 '19 at 03:12
Have you set the `SDKROOT` environment variable? If so, what is its value? – outis Mar 26 '21 at 19:38
