Hello.
I have a piece of software that I'm building using Xcode 3.2.6 and GCC 4.2. I'm going to upgrade to Xcode 4 and at the same time I'm thinking about also moving to a newer compiler. As far as I know Apple doesn't ship a version of GCC newer than 4.2 so I guess my option would be to download and install it myself. I'm a bit shaky about using a non-Apple supplied compiler so therefore I'm asking if anyone have any comments on how to do that. I have found several resources about actually building it so that will probably go well. However, I'm a bit shaky on a few other things, mainly:
* Will I be able to ship binaries produced with the new compiler or will they depend on a newer runtime being present on the machine?
* Can I use it together with Xcode?
Any suggestions and ideas are highly appreciated. I'm only targeting 10.6 and 64 bit Intel so PowerPC or ARM support is not necessary.
Brian
