install-gnu-gcc-osx

#! /bin/bash

# This shell script can be used to install the GNU gcc compiler on an
# OS X computer.  The GNU gcc compiler is usually better at compiling
# C code produced by the Gambit Scheme compiler than the clang (LLVM)
# compiler which is provided with Apple's Xcode.

# After executing:
#
#    ./install-gnu-gcc-osx
#
# you should add this line to your ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc files:
#
#    export PATH=/usr/gcc-4.8.0/bin:$PATH

# The shell script assumes that the homebrew system (see
# http://http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew) and Xcode have been
# installed.
