"Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo." when using GCC
While attempting to compile my C program, running the following command:
gcc pthread.c -o pthread
Returns:
Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.
and my code does not compile.
Why is this happening and how can I fix this problem?
Open up Xcode, and accept the new user agreement. This was happening because a new version of Xcode was downloaded and the new agreement was not accepted.
sudo xcodebuild -license
will take care of it with no trouble on the command line. Note that you'll have to manually scroll through the license, and agree to its terms at the end, unless you add "accept" to the command line :
sudo xcodebuild -license accept
Got stuck as I was trying to a go get ... I think it was related to git. Here is how was able to fix it ...
-
I entered the following in terminal:
sudo xcodebuild -license This will open the agreement. Go all the way to end and type "agree".
That takes care of go get issues.
It was quite interesting how unrelated things were.
Opening XCode and accepting the license fixes the issue.
You don't need to fiddle around with any command :)
Once the XCode is updated, open the Xcode IDE program. Please accept terms and conditions.
You are all set to go :))
