Last time I tried was a year ago, gcc 4.5 I think, and I couldn't get it to work. But then again, I used macports.
Got a tip for us?

I think that guy meant XCode 4, as in "Can I get them without paying 5$".
If he wants to get them without installing any XCode, tough luck.
That's the point! Developers who use Macs as user-friendly Unix boxes often don't want to download and install 4GB of XCode when they only need a functioning toolchain.
It might be possible to create a smaller package which only consists of command line part of XCode package. Should be doable.
just try tarball
however you should probably preinstall some libraries, like gmp or mpfr
but you can build them very easily
Well I'm not using gcc anymore, I'm compiling everything with llvm-gcc. I even compiled mplayer with clang 1.6, works like a charm.
Again, you can keep using XCode 3, which works for iOS 4.3 and 10.6.
It's likely that XCode 4 will be free for 10.7 users.
I haven't even read through the thread, but I am laughing so hard at any and all of you who gave the thread a negative vote or complained about Xcode being $5! ! !
What a joke if you can't find $5 to toss out on something like Xcode. How sad your life must be.
And don't cry "principle", because if that were the case then Apple is clearly justified in charging hundreds if not thousands for one of the best development environments known to man.
ROFL!

No you cant. The gestures were only enabled in the 4.3b images - they are not part of the GM builds and the final release. There is no way to enable them and the betas expire at some point (and probably have bugs), so you can't use those.
Too bad they didn't put the gestures in the final release - I really liked them and didn't have a single problem with them.
I'm sure you're aware MS still offers a free version of Visual Studio to anyone who wants it. Of course 5 dollars isn't a big deal at all. I think people are more upset at the nickel and dime approach that Apple is beginning to take.
Also, Visual Studio is quite a bit better than XCode as an IDE so...
I can confirm this. It worked for me. I had to go to the mac or ios specific areas before it showed me the the new ToS agreement.
That check would be for $99.
actually a bit more ... company licenses are more expensive than the personal one - I think ours was somewhere around $250 ... still cheap (especially when as he claims they have 500 developers on xcode ... that is 50cents per dev)
Yep. It's sad alright.
Be thankful you live in a country where you can earn that much in less time than it takes to type a lengthy complaint on MacRumours. The other half of the world isn't so lucky.
It's the best development environment on OS X (given that the competition is basically Eclipse), but let's not go crazy.
It's pretty darn hard to get serious when the next version upgrade is over $400...
I think you're confusing hobbyists with serious developers. No serious developer cares at all about the price of the more expensive Visual Studio packages. Just the same as a real developer wouldn't complain about spending 5 dollars on XCode 4. I can see people complaining about the philosophy behind "no free version" on the Apple side, but the 5 dollars? No way.
It's a moot point, primarily argued by people who probably couldn't write even a few lines of real code. Seriously, how many people complaining make money off of writing code? Anyone?
Apple is also offering a free version, called XCode 3.
Hah! This is a very fair point, but in that context: $5?!? It's so weird a price.
Again and again, I think this is the price for XCode 4 without buying Lion, and it'll come free with Lion.
Companies pay the same $99/year that Individuals do, as seen here:

Where did you get the one million people number from? All (serious) mac developers I know anyway have an mac and/or iOS developer license and download it for free.
Stop complaining
Hey, if you don't like paying $5.00 that may (or may not) make you rich one day, go develop for some other platform. Plain and simple.

Yeah, that's the other side of it. Any "serious" developer gets it with their iOS/Mac license, and the five dollars is moot. Though I sort of WOULD rather have it managed in the Mac App store...Oh well, not a huge deal.
