Does not work. You have to pay to download Xcode. I still need GCC, tho.

if what you want, is not the Xcode IDE but just the plain compiler type:

gcc filen_name -o output_file_name

or try:

man gcc

good luck!

I had the same issue of installing xcode but still could not find GCC. Try searching for “install xcode” through Spotlight and run that first file. That should do it. Took me a while to figure it out. Hope this helps!

Quinn can you convert on a mac a doc that looks like a page which should really be a zip file?

I had a lot of trouble with this today — only since xcode 4 came out is xcode 3.0 no longer available (it was free). You can pay about $5 for Xcode 4. However, your installation disk will have the right version of xcode for your operating system on it (for free). I upgraded to Snow Leopard and on the install disk, Xcode is an optional feature that does not install unless you ask it to.So look to the disk rather than the internet — I couldn’t find xcode free anywhere.

It looks like apple is forcing us to pay $100 to get this xcode software, is there another way?

i just installed xcode from the above url. The install was successful but I can’t find gcc binary. Is it under a different name? I’m running OSX 10.5.8

It’s not just a gcc compiler, it’s a whole development package including many other applications.
