stdio.h file not found error on macOS Sierra #338

JohnCoates · 2017-09-11T08:16:43Z

macOS Sierra 10.12.6 with Xcode 8.3.3
Followed building instructions, I get gum/meson-private/sanitycheckobjc.m:1:8: fatal error: 'stdio.h' file not found

Checking the isysroot path, stdio.h is present in /usr/include/.

I’ve encountered this as well, and resolved it by making sure Xcode’s command-line tools were properly installed. Could you check if that also resolves it for you?

JohnCoates · 2017-09-11T08:49:19Z

Thanks @oleavr, running xcode-select --install worked! The command-line tools were working for other things, xcode-select showed the correct path as well , but for some reason that command was required.

oleavr · 2017-09-11T09:05:43Z

Glad to hear! I suspect this happens after an Xcode upgrade, where somehow things go slightly out of sync.

Artem85 · 2018-07-16T14:15:16Z

In my case IOS simulator wasn't installed.

Go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Components
Download the latest IOS Simulator.

yicongli · 2018-09-26T06:05:58Z

The root reason is missing the /usr/include folder, install command-line tools sometimes will not automatically add it. The Link shows the correct way:
Install the package at
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14. pkg

well done. thanks

For anyone discovering this later on who may not be familiar with the command line, here's how to install the macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg package as explained in @yicongli's response above:

In Terminal.app or any shell app like iTerm:

cd /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/
open macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg

This should open the following prompt:

Make sure you go through the whole thing and try to install the gem that failed to install again or run bundle install again if this was something you encountered while trying to install from a Gemfile.

Olivierlacan your solution worked fine, thanks
