Executed 0 out of 12 tests: 12 were skipped.

Looked at file syntaxnet/bazel-syntaxnet/external/local_config_cc/osx_cc_wrapper.sh after attempting to install, since the error seems to indicate the problem happened there, but I can't see anything wrong with it. Attempted changing the gcc call to use OS X's gcc (line 56), but that had no effect on the error.

Any ideas?

I got exactly the same error installing with macports, FWIW.

[takahiroanno]

I got the same error with gcc 4.9.2

[pdarragh]

@takahiroanno is your gcc from Apple via Xcode or is it Homebrew/MacPorts or what? (Just trying to see what patterns we can find to make the debugging easier for the developers.)

[takahiroanno]

@pdarragh my gcc is from Xcode.

[djweiss]

I tested this on OSX using 10.11.4, with Xcode installed to provide gcc, but python etc. from homebrew. Has anyone with this issue been able to resolve it?

[licheng5625]

anyone resolve the problem?

[pdarragh]

@djweiss @licheng5625 I have not been able to resolve the problem, no. Can't say that I put a ton more work into it, to be fair.

This looks like the same issue as tensorflow/tensorflow#336 and bazelbuild/bazel#649.
