Guys, I just want a C compiler -- or better still, a C++ compiler. I have a NotebookPro.

If it's free, good, but I am more than ready to pay for one.

ANOTHER COMPLICATION: I am in Africa -- Gambia to be precise -- so the USA and Europe only rules for software downloads must not apply. Posting the stuff via the mail is not a serious option. Here in the third world we don't have addresses and we don't have a to-your-door delivery service. There is a postal service here, but packages tend to "get lost in the post"

BUT to save an Old Man returning to Windows, solve this issue.

Oh, and come to Gambia too ... we are in the depth of Winter here, the ways deep and the weather sharp, the very depth of winter** and it's HOT, DRY and SUNNY. And the people are great too.

Sign up for a free Apple Developer account, and then go to http://connect.apple.com and download the Xcode Developer Tools. They come with the command-line compilers, and the Xcode IDE to make them a bit easier to use.

The Xcode Developer Tools are also on the system discs as optional installs. Not the most recent version for obvious reasons, but they do work.

Uh, gcc?

[CharlesS]

Yes, the Xcode tools use gcc as the compiler.

I agree with davidbk1. What would keep anyone, anywhere, from acquiring gcc and a number of other GNU tools online? Many schools teach C and C++ programming using the GNU tools.
