I've been using command line tools and a text editor to compile class projects, which has worked great. Unfortunately, they've become sticklers about us using 4.7. Xcode (and thus OSX) only has llvm-gcc 4.2, so I was looking to upgrade.
I've got macports installed and have found instructions for installing gcc 4.7, but it says that I need xcode installed. I was hoping to be able to just use command line tools and not have xcode (I don't need any of the iOS or graphics stuff, I just want gcc.
Anyway, if it's not possible, it's no big deal, but I'd be appreciative if anyone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!
To clarify, I have command line tools, but not the version of gcc I'd like. Running macports results in this:
$ sudo port install gcc47
Error:
Error: No Xcode installation was found.
Error: Please install Xcode and/or run xcode-select to specify its location.
Error:
Error: The installed version of Xcode (2.0orlower) is too old to use on the installed OS version.
Version 4.1 or later is recommended on Mac OS X 10.8.
