Oi. My bad, and thanks for the clarification. | In fact the most recent Xcode is a regression - up until now clang (most recent compiler available for OS X from Apple) was installed by default, but that is no longer the case. | | | > Can we now lift the 'it has to pass g++ 4.2.1' restriction? | > | | The above is still gcc 4.2, Apple won't move from there due to GPL-v3 tainting any more recent version of gcc. Our best hope is clang. Did you check Rcpp against clang? I had forgotten about the GPL-v3 issue. With that Apple will never ship a new gcc. Ding it. I only ever tried clang/llvm very casually which resulted in me not succeeding. We have gotten patches based on clang/llvm before though so other have done this. So if someone has a 'recipe' or Makefile for clang and Rcpp, I'd be all ears. Dirk -- "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.
