(the folder names you use don't have to be literally objdir and srcdir but they can be) so you've got two folders - the srcdir folder that has all the downloaded and uncompressed gcc files. and the objdir folder, both of which are in another folder. open the terminal application in the terminal type: limit stack 800 (that results in no response) then using: cd foldername navigate to the empty objdir wherever you put that on your drive. (cd=change directory). type this (including the ../ and changing 'srcdir' to the name of the srcdir, if you've used a different name): ../srcdir/configure --enable-threads=posix --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/opt/gcc --program-prefix=fsf- --disable-libgcj --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable-languages=c (skip down to the end of these instructions for a bit about prefix) (i guess leave off --enable-languages=c if you want all the languages?) it'll then go through a whole series of checks which'll take a few minutes. a patch needs to be run before anything else. create a text file with the following text in it: *** gcc/ginclude/stddef.h.orig 2002-12-30 13:54:24.000000000 +0100 --- gcc/ginclude/stddef.h 2002-12-30 13:56:49.000000000 +0100 *************** *** 239,244 **** --- 239,245 ---- #ifndef _WCHAR_T_ #ifndef _BSD_WCHAR_T_ #ifndef _BSD_WCHAR_T_DEFINED_ /* Darwin */ + #ifndef _BSD_RUNE_T_DEFINED_ /* Darwin */ #ifndef _WCHAR_T_DEFINED_ #ifndef _WCHAR_T_DEFINED #ifndef _WCHAR_T_H *************** *** 275,280 **** --- 276,282 ---- #ifdef _BSD_RUNE_T_ #if !defined (_ANSI_SOURCE) && !defined (_POSIX_SOURCE) typedef _BSD_RUNE_T_ rune_t; + #define _BSD_RUNE_T_DEFINED_ #define _BSD_WCHAR_T_DEFINED_ #if defined (__FreeBSD__) /* Why is this file so hard to maintain properly?

(g3 500mHz powerbook - about an hour, maybe more). type: make bootstrap after that, while in the terminal, in objdir folder type: sudo make install you'll then be asked for your password. this is the password that you use when installing anything in os x. type in the password and press return. (this part isn't necessary to installing but i found it a usefull thing to know) - to see this installation in the finder you have to open the 'usr' folder which is hidden in os x. to open the hidden folder type in the terminal: open /usr to make the gnu gcc available from the terminal with one command type: setenv PATH /usr/opt/bin:$PATH then to call this gcc, the command is: fsf-gcc rather than the usual: gcc which accesses apple's gcc for example type (which is specified in the configure command near the start of these instructions. so you can probably use whatever prefix you want): fsf-gcc -v to see the version info of the new gcc.
