Easy way out
Authored by: c15zyx on Jul 24, '02 12:55:45AM
If you know how to use CVS, you can register for free at Apple's public source page so you can get Apple's gcc3 from its cvs servers. Apple's version of gcc is highly recommended over the FSF version, because it is the most compatible with darwin. Installation is also easier, no files have to be edited just to get it to compile. see Apple's page on using cvs. basically, just register with apple (free), check out the source using
cvs -d :pserver:YOURUSERNAME@anoncvs.opensource.apple.com:/cvs/Darwin login
cvs -d :pserver:YOURUSERNAME@anoncvs.opensource.apple.com:/cvs/Darwin -z9 co gcc3
Then just follow the instructions in the README.Apple file

I tried to get gcc3 from CVS. Got it but it needs gnumake. Got gnumake but it needs cc....and so on and so on...

Any place I can get the Apple binaries?
