OS X GCC?

[arty]

I'm trying in vain to get Subversion set up with Apache 2 on my new Mac Mini, but I'm getting thwarted at every turn

Currently I'm trying to follow the instructions on this page, but this assumes that I have GCC installed from the Xcode DVD. As I have no desire to sign up to Apple's dodgy developer stuff, does anyone have any links to a downloadable version of GCC? As it's open source I can't see why I have to sign up to get it

Incidentally, how do you get the Finder to show hidden files and folders? There doesn't seem to be an option for it anywhere

EDIT - Just found GCC on the first OS X DVD, so that's a start

fink? although if you use the copy of Xcode bundled with Tiger you don't have to sign up for anything. You only have to sign up with ADC if you wish to download it from the Apple website.

I've finally managed to get this working. Ended up compiling everything from source The Hard Way, but I guess it's good for me. The main thing is: it works! I'm very chuffed with myself now

M0KUJ1N: I haven't yet managed to find Xcode on either of my Tiger discs, but installing the complete 'developer tools' fixed most of the problems I had when trying to compile. Another problem was that one of the binaries I was trying to run was in my path, which meant every time I tried to run a local copy I was in fact running a completely different one without realising

Now I've just got about 25-30GB of projects to organise into SVN folders. One for next weekend I feel

Let me know how you get on with XCode. I have been thinking of buying a Mac recently. I do most of my coding in VIM but I miss a lot of the features from Visual Studio especially integration with SVN repositories and the IDE's available to linux at the moment don't compare.
