Just a few quick thoughts on this discussion. 1. Please don't discuss Tiger on a public mail list. Apple get very touchy about public discussion of stuff under NDAs. It ends up with them getting more secretive. 2. What used to be gcc-3.5 has been renamed gcc-4.0. It is the same code only the name has been changed. 3. If you want Fortran, it is very easy to pull Apple sources from the cvs at the FSF web site http://gcc.gnu.org. Just use one of the apple-ppc-4XXX tags. To see which one is the latest look at the webcvs first. All the tags appear in the popup at the bottom of the web cvs pages. To build Fortran just change the list of languages in the build_gcc script. You will also need GMP and MPRF libraries. Google will find them and they build without mods on Panther. Finally if you just want a binary, apart from Gaurav Kanna's excellent site, there is a gcc-4.0 binary built last week from tag apple-ppc-4020 on my web site for Swarm on MacOS X binaries at http://banking.web.unsw.edu.au/w.northcott . This binary package includes GFortran, libffi and libobjc-gnu (GNU Objective-C runtime) which are not part of a normal Apple build. Bill Northcott

you are right. But we said nothing more than what is public (it's a fact that apple ships aqua tcltk and gcc 3.5). And I think it's good to know that R builds on Tiger too. But discussing the non public APIs is not good, I agree. Thanks for all the other hints Bill. stefano
