Huh? Sure it does. That's how I got it. See: https://devimages.apple.com.edgekey...

It installs a "gcc" command-line wrapper which actually calls the LLVM compiler.

Hmm, it looks like it's actually a gcc frontend that uses LLVM as its backend - more than just a command-line wrapper. But I hadn't realized that it wasn't standard gcc.

Heh, I've been using the gcc command on my mac since I switched and I, quite literally, have never come across a program that wouldn't compile for me. That level of compatibility is... well... staggering. heh.

Same here, hence why I assumed it was standard gcc. In fact, I just did "sudo port install python27 py27matplotlib" which pulled in a lot of code and there were zero problems.

You do know that MacPorts installs plain gcc as a dependency for many packages?

This shouldn't be too surprising; it _is_ GCC, but using an LLVM backend (it's not clang).

It also installs "gcc-4.2", which is actually the gcc-4.2 driver.
