I am trying to install xgboost on my mac (osx 10.12.1), following the guide here , but I am facing some questions.
Step1
Get gcc-6.xx with openmp support brew install gcc --without-multilib
Terminal
Ben$ brew install gcc
Error: gcc-5.3.0 already installed
To install this version, first `brew unlink gcc`
Ben$ brew unlink gcc
Unlinking /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/5.3.0... 1288 symlinks removed
Ben$ brew install gcc
[26 minutes later]
==> Summary
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/6.2.0: 1,358 files, 238.3M, built in 26 minutes 20 seconds
Step2
Clone repository git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost
Terminal
Ben$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost

Step3
using the following commands cd xgboost; cp make/config.mk ./config.mk; make -j4
NOTE. If you are using OSX El Capitan, brew installs gcc latest version of gcc-6. Therefore, you may need to change Makefile # L46 and change gcc-5 to gcc-6. After that, change gcc-5 / g ++ - 5 to gcc-6 / g ++ - 6 in make / config.mk, then create using the following commands
Hmmm. Not quite sure what to do here. I see a file called "Makefile" inside xgboost/. Inside, I see a lot of things that I don’t understand, but these lines look relevant
Makefile ()
OS := $(shell uname)
ifeq ($(OS), Darwin)
export CC = $(if $(shell which gcc-6),gcc-6,$(if $(shell which gcc-mp-6), gcc-mp-6, clang))
export CXX = $(if $(shell which g++-6),g++-6,$(if $(shell which g++-mp-6),g++-mp-6, clang++))
endif
...
Ben$ cd xgboost; cp make/config.mk ./config.mk; make -j4
[Tons of log output. Appears to finish succesfully]
