compliling C programs

[kjur]

Hi All

 

I'm not a programmer, but I need to install add-on to Jabber.

 

When I type ./configure I got that message

 

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

checking whether build environment is sane... yes

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no

checking for working aclocal-1.4... missing

checking for working autoconf... missing

checking for working automake-1.4... missing

checking for working autoheader... missing

checking for working makeinfo... found

checking for gcc... no

checking for cc... no

checking for cc... no

checking for cl... no

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

See `config.log' for more details.

 

Could someone send me any C complier? I don't want to download XCode which is almost 1GB. Anyway I have to log in to Apple developer website to download it, but I can't.

 

Any other ideas what I may need to do? Add something to config files?

 

Many thanks for your advise as I'm not a software developer.

You need Xcode tools to compile it, they should be included on your OS X Install DVD. If you do not have the retail DVD you can download Xcode from ADC if you are not a member just choose signup, it is free.

I have 10.4.6 Jas install DVD. I was looking for that yesterday, but could find it. Where exactly is it on the DVD?

Much appreciated for your help

Thanks

Ah, I highly doubt its inculded with that dvd. It was most likely stripped to save size when distributing it, but if it does happen to include it the name would be Xcode Tools. (see image below)

Many thanks ominous, I can't see the picture, but I doubt I have it on the install DVD. I have signed up already to Apple Develper Site and will download XCode tonight.
