如何在 MacOS 上将 Clion 上的编译器从 clang 更改为 gcc？

Question

The only compiler that works on my CLion is the clang one which is detected by default in toolchains. I need to use gcc (my college class grades using the gcc compiler so I want to avoid any unexpected issues) and have it installed through homebrew. In my terminal I can do g++ and gcc commands and it uses the right compiler, but I don't know how to change it in CLion. I must be doing something wrong with the location of it or the CMake settings. Any guidance would be appreciated and thank you. Let me know if there's any additional questions I can answer, my explanation may be insufficient as I am new to the world of CS. I see previous questions on how to switch compilers between gcc and clang, but not specifically on CLion.

Answer 1

• Go to Settings / Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | CMake.
• In the CMake options field, specify the compiler ( -D CMAKE__COMPILER=[fully qualified compiler name] )

The LANG part specifies the language (C for C and CXX for C++), and you need to provide the full path to the compiler

• After you apply the settings, CLion will reset the CMake cache and reload your project.
