I get the "missing gcc 3.1" message, and am supposed to install that compiler from Apple's pkg somewhere. Well, I won't. The net says, it's due to "free-x86" needing the old style c preprocessor. Yes, but..
a) I'm not using xfree86, I'm using xorg (does the restriction apply there as well)?
xorg is xfree86 + some patches
b) How come this happens when I'm updating. How could things have worked "just fine" before?
Have you installed from binaries before? Is this perhaps the first time you've built from source something that needs x11-dev? If so, the FAQ applies:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-packages.php#apple-x11-wants-xfree86
(and the entries below it)
c) How can I make sure it really is the xfree86/xorg package that's causing this. Like who's pushing for the gcc 3.1 requirement.
If you're on 10.3, your choices of compiler are:
gcc 3.1 gcc 3.3
XFree86 and X.org build with gcc 3.3, but as gcc 3.3's c-preprocessor is broken, it *also* uses gcc 3.1 to preprocess certain source.
You do need both, if you're going to build xfree86 or x.org from source.
