Re: [avr-gcc-list] OS X 4.2.2 -- simplest way today?

[Dave N6NZ]

Well, OS X, especially the new 10.5 release has just enough things 
missing and/or in odd places that most things build "eventually" not 
"straight out of the box".  I seem to recall seeing mac build 
instructions somewhere, but now it escapes me.  I really just want to 
match the results I get on Linux from the "Bingo scripts", so in essence 
 I'm looking for the way over the speed bumps to running the Bingo 
scripts on OS X.  (I'm running a Slackware system, a Gentoo system, and 
an OS X 10.4 system, my collaborator is running OS X 10.5 -- I want all 
four machines to match bug-for-bug :)
