gcc on macports

[Alan Barros de Oliveira]

Thanks, Ryan

I have gcc, gcc-4.0, and gcc-4.2 (yes, with dashes). Thus it seems they are not macported gcc's, right?
I simple don't remember if I have installed  C compilers other than macport ones in the past... it seems I did!

Alan.

Yes, you will then have multiple copies of gcc installed. You can install and use the gcc_select port to select which one you want to use as "gcc", or you can just use the compilers by their full names.
