Thanks to Simon for all the work on the compilers.
I can see that the compilers and instructions have been updated on the
"tools" page (r.research.att.com/tools). It seems as if the
recommended way for us Leopard users is to use
gcc 4.2 (Apple Inc. build 5564) for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger): (updated
2008/09/16)
in order to get a gfortran.
Unfortunately, unlike earlier gfortrans, this one also overwrites the
Xcode GCC (although it seems as if it is the same exact version) and
does not come with a gfortran-uninstall script. Personally I am a bit
hesitant to do this, I vastly prefer the old style with a separate
gfortran and an uninstall script. Is there any chance we will get
this? Or should I be using gfortran 4.2.3 anyway?
Small comments on the page
1) the comment on Xcode 3.1 under Leopard CRAN seems a bit odd. When I
run the Xcode 3.1 installer I do not really have an option of
(de)selecting 4.2 separately.
2) I cannot find the gcc_select script mentioned under alternative
compilers in my installation. I know I used to have it under Tiger to
switch between gcc 3 and 4, but it is absent on my machine
Thanks, Kasper
