- * You'll have Apple's Xcode and the independent MacPorts system
- installed.
- Xcode is available at
- <http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/xcode.html>
- You have to register as an Apple Developer to download it. This
- is free but requires you to accept a legal agreement with Apple.
- The latest version of Xcode to work with Leopard is 3.14; more
- recent versions require Snow Leopard.
-
- The MacPorts system is available at
- <http://www.macports.org/>
- This automates the building of Unix-type software on your Mac; it
- makes it a lot easier to check for dependencies, use more-recent
- versions of things, and so on.
-
- * Or you won't have those installed. (Most Mac users will be in this group.)
- Then you'll need pre-packaged (and usually pretty GUI) installers for
- everything. These are great when they're available and kept up-to-date;
- however those conditions aren't always met.
-
- IN EITHER CASE, take note of what version of the Mac OS you're running:
- "Tiger" 10.4, or "Leopard" 10.5, or "Snow Leopard" 10.6.
