macOS Compiling Source Code and Developer Kit on Mac OS X CD

[Laplace]

Hey guys, for some reason my OS X CD with the developer tools on it isn't loading, is there any where I can get all that stuff online? I need whatever I need to compile some source code.

On another note, is compiling source code as easy as 3 command line commands? The source code in question is the subsim Danger from the Deep if you're curious. I've never compiled source code before, but I don't consider myself completely inept at this kind of stuff either.

Thanks in advance,

Most of my compiles consist of clicking a button

There is nothing more humbling to a seasoned computer user than trying to compile some code for the first time. Especially via a command line.

If you go to http://www.Apple.com/developer you should be able to sign up as a "Student" level user for free (use your Apple ID i.e. the same username/pw as the iTunes music store) and can download Xcode 2.4 - all 940-some megs. worth.

Hope you have fast broadband!

It's not student its "free" membership you want.

Alright guys, I downloaded the 940 megs and installed everything (all packages). Then I also downloaded scons (http://www.scons.org a compilation package) which is required in the readme to compile this game. so when I try to compile I get the following error.

iChads-Powerbook:~/Desktop/dangerdeep-0.1.1 ichad$ scons -k
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

Checking for C header file gl.h... no
GL library must be installed!


But I am pretty sure that the GL library is installed, because I even went back to that Xcode Tools package and re-installed the specific OpenGL SDK package. So whats the beef? Shouldn't that package correctly install my GL library? Is there a way for me to check to see if my GL library is correctly installed and maybe scons is messing something up? Thanks in advance.
