updating Mac installation instructions (#1443)
In Mac, even after gcc is installed from homebrew, gcc and g++ still point to clang's version. Need to update the make/config.mk file to point the gcc and g++ compliers to the version installed by homebrew. More details can be found in this blog: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/jfp/entry/Installing_XGBoost_on_Mac_OSX?lang=en

Here is the complete solution to use OpenMP-enabled compilers to install XGBoost.
|
||||
Obtain gcc-5.x.x with openmp support by `brew install gcc --without-multilib`. (`brew` is the de facto standard of `apt-get` on OS X. So installing [HPC](http://hpc.sourceforge.net/) separately is not recommended, but it should work.)

|
||||
|
||||
Now, clone the repository
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost
|
||||
cd xgboost; cp make/config.mk ./config.mk; make -j4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The next step is to update the compliers in xgboost's configuration file
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd xgboost
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Open make/config.mk file and replace the following two lines
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export CC = gcc
|
||||
export CXX = g++
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
with
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export CC = gcc-5
|
||||
export CXX = g++-5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now, build using the following commands
|
||||
|
||||
````bash
|
||||
cd ..; cp make/config.mk ./config.mk; make -j4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Building on Windows
|
||||
You need to first clone the xgboost repo with recursive option clone the submodules.
|
||||
If you are using github tools, you can open the git-shell, and type the following command.
