Yes, but that version will be out of date.
Thanks for bringing that up; I neglected to go into that detail :-}
Depending on what version of things you have (Mac OS X, Xcode),
William is correct: you should upgrade to the latest compatible
version of the developer tools (earlier versions are available for
download on Apple's developer site). It's a fact of life that for
SAGE to work well, being up to date with the latest available
compiler revs is generally required.
Failing that, go to <http://developer.apple.com>, and sign up as an
"on-line" developer (gratis). Then you should be able to download
Xcode corresponding to the version of the system you have (assuming
it's a 10.4 system, get Xcode 2.4): it's in the Developer Tools area
of the Downloads page.
Yes, I've done this and it worked well for me. Note that the download
is nearly 1GB.
I just checked and the current version is indeed "XCode 2.4", and the
website says "The Xcode 2.4 release provides overall stability
improvement
and adds support for 64-bit Intel based Mac computers. It is
recommended
that all Xcode users install this update."
Note that I think you have to have OS X 10.4.x to install the new
version
of XCode.
Yup; the developer site should provide guidance on compatibility
issues; if there are questions, ask here.
You might consider "turning off" fink when doing the Axiom port to
avoid confusion, e.g., move /sw to /sw.orig, at least assuming that
Axiom doesn't depend on packages you only get via fink.
Absolutely. If you are developing something to put into SAGE, you
*must* turn off both Fink ("/sw") and DarwinPorts (usually in "/opt/
local"). Since most users of SAGE will be missing at least one of
these, the dependencies will cause SAGE to break on Mac OS X.
