- Install the Xcode app from App Store
- Go to the path =
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/include/c++/v1
To do this easily, open Finder and press Cmd+Shift+G and paste this path address and it should open up. - Create a folder named bitsand go to this folder.
- Create a file named stdc++.h inside the bits folder and open it using any text editor (e.g. TextEdit)
- Paste the content from this repo to stdc++.h file: stdc++.h
- Now close Sublime Text/VS Codeand reopen it and run a C++ file.
It should work!
If it doesn’t work:
- Try the same thing using path =
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/
- It should work now, but it might give you errors like include is not found or similar. Just remove this include from the stdc++.h -------- file and try again.
- You might need to remove multiple includes and it should work eventually(at least it worked for me!). In my case, I had to remove the following lines from stdc++.h:
#include<cstdalign>
#include<cuchar>
#include<memory_resources>
If it still doesn’t work, try with path = /usr/local/include
for macos version 14.2 user
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX14.2.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/ ****
use this path instead
the new one doesn't work I use Sonoma 14.3.1 and Xcode 15.2 and the /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/ is the only work
it works
Now open Xcode and click on your project name and navigate to Build Settings and look for Search Paths. Double-click on Header Search Paths from that section, hit the '+' button, and paste the directory path and boom it should work now.
Great post, but I found a way without using the Xcode app for those who dont want or need to use it in this codeforces post by me ( ravary )
