Question

While attempting to compile my C program, running the following command:

gcc pthread.c -o pthread

Returns:

Agreeing

Answer 1

I had the same issue when I tried to use git.

It is possible to install git without it. And I doubt that gcc on mac is truly dependent on XCode. And I don't want to use root to accept something unless I'm sure I need it.

I uninstalled XCode by navigating to the applications folder and dragging XCode to the trash.

Now my git commands work as usual. I'll re-install XCode if/when I truly need it.
