Xcode Command Line Tools

It seems, Xcode Command Line Tools does not contain the GNU tool chain anymore. Is this correct?

If yes, it would have been worth a developer note, since with upgrading to Xcode 4.3.x - building with the GNU tool chain is no longer possible. Since this is in no way expected on a UNIX based machine, it took me also a good amount of time to figure this out, especially since many autoconf install scripts are not that descriptive when reporting errors, and it took me a while to find the culprit.


So, if anybody is having trouble installing packages from package managers like RVM, gem, Homebrew, MacPorts, etc. whose cause is missing auto* tools, you can install the GNU autotools with for instance Homebrew:

$ brew install autoconf
$ brew install automake

(note, MacPorts has autoconf, automake,  etc. , too)



Regards
Andreas
