[Openmcl-devel] XCode 3.2.3 how to support kernel compile 1.4

[Gary Byers]

There's a chance that the command-line tools got installed in /Developer/usr/bin;
if so, doing something like:

? (ccl::setenv "PATH" (format nil "/Developer/usr/bin:~a" (ccl::getenv "PATH")))

before doing:

? (rebuild-ccl :full t)

might at least find those tools.  (You seem to be trying to build the trunk,
the 10.4-related issues shouldn't be a factor.)

If XCode isn't installed at all or if other components of it are missing,
that workaround won't help.

I looked at all the setting in XCode prefs (many) and cannot find anything relevant. Do I really need to reinstall Xcode and hope there is some configuration setting? It's 2.5 GB!

If this package isn't installed, then /usr/bin/make won't exist, and you won't be able to build the lisp kernel.  I would have expected this package to be installed by default, but perhaps it isn't.
