How do you set CMAKE_C_COMPILER and CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER for building Assimp for iOS?

When I try to build Assimp by running build_ios.sh, it tells me:

CMake Error: your C compiler: "/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-gcc" was not found.   Please set CMAKE_C_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.
CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-g++" was not found.   Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.

What I need the path to be is:

/Applications/XCode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/...

I've tried changing DEVROOT in build_ios.sh and IPHONE_xxxx_TOOLCHAIN.cmake, because that's what CMAKE_C_COMPILER etc seem to get generated from, but it still gives me the same errors.

cmake ios

  1. Sometimes the project is created before installing g++. So install g++ first and then recreate your project. This worked for me.
  2. Paste the following line in CMakeCache.txt: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/c++

Note the path to g++ depends on OS. I have used my fedora path obtained using which g++
