Can't install appledoc with homebrew. 'No available formula for appledoc'

[Tylerc230]

I ran brew update and then brew install appledoc and I receive "No available formula for appledoc"
Running brew search apple revealed
"appledoc20 appledoc21 appledoc22"

running brew install appledoc22 gave the error:
"Error: appledoc22 cannot be built with any available compilers.
To install this formula, you may need to:
brew install gcc"

Maybe this is not a bug and simply needs to be mentioned in the readme. I am running maverics and Xcode 5.1.1.

Same issue. Running Yosemite.

Same here. Mavericks.

brew install appledoc22 works fine, if I revert to XCode 5.0.2.

If you don't want to be stuck on the older version of XCode like I did, just place them in the Applications folder under different names and then keep on changing the one that's used by default with these commands:
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-5.0.2.app/Contents/Developer/
and
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-latest.app/Contents/Developer/

There was a problem with this (due to Xcode 5.1+ not supporting garbage collection). But this was fixed a while ago. Perhaps brew formula needs to be updated in order to take advantage of latest version. I'm not maintaining that though, so you'd need to ask either in brew forums or similar (not sure how that's handled). If they need me to bump up git tag or internal appledoc version, I can of course do whatever needed.

I'm closing this issue - there's more history on it on #435.

You might consider removing brew install appledoc from the readme, because it doesn't work anymore on Yosemite and newest Homebrew.

brew install appledoc
Error: No available formula for appledoc
Searching taps...
homebrew/versions/appledoc20 homebrew/versions/appledoc22
homebrew/versions/appledoc21

Got it working using..

brew install homebrew/versions/appledoc22

I think use "sudo brew install appledoc22" is ok.
