Error while installing uWSGI on mac

Question

I need uWSGI for running a django project. So when i'm trying to install uWSGI, its giving me an error saying "Exception: you need a C compiler to build uWSGI". But mac comes with gcc compiler.

I've downloaded uWSGI from "http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/WikiStart#Getit" and tried to install by the command "python setup.py install"

This is the error i got while installing uWSGI

running install

Answer 1

gcc already installed, just export CC=gcc will be ok.

Answer 2

distutils is probably returning something like "gcc-4.2" instead of plain old "gcc".

With sudo, etc., you probably want to do something like this:

sudo CC=gcc pip install uwsgi

Answer 3

Install CommandLine Tools

$xcode-select --install

Then run

$pip install uwsgi
