How can I get dev tools (such as make) for Mac OS X via the command line

I am in a bit of a pickle. I have a few Mac Minis that I am colocating at my ISP and only have shell access (via ssh for example) to administer the boxes. This is fine, but I just realized - after downloading some tar files for a couple of packages I needed - that I don't have the basic dev tools installed (such as make, for compiling source code). Is there a place I can download them from using curl?

You should already have curl (mine is at /usr/bin/curl) which you can use to get the fink or MacPorts downloads. Then go from there.

I'm a fink guy myself. Fink will need the devtools DVD isntalled.

You can use fink to get yourself a copy of lynx (command line web browser) and then use that to download the OS X developer tools from Apple. Or you could just install a GNU tool chain from Fink iteslf.

install xcode off of the Mac OS install media (I think it's the second dvd or cd or whatever, but am unsure). That should do it

Install MacPorts. This will give you all the usual command line tools that you might need.
