To configure and build Intel x86 GCC UPC on Mac OS X platform you will need the following:

  • Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7+ release apple-logOR Snow Leopard 10.6 release
    The latest binary release of GCC/UPC compiler was built on Leopard, version 10.5.7. It should be possible to build GCC/UPC on earlier versions of Leopard or Tiger.
  • Xcode development tools
    Development tools provide GCC compiler and other necessary tools for GCC/UPC configure and build. Xcode can be downloaded from Apple's web site: http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/index.html
  • GMP and MPFR libraries are required for building and running GCC/UPC. They can be built from sources (preferred option) or installed via port command that can be downloaded from http://www.macports.org/ (use "port install gmp mpfr" command to install required libraries). By default, port installs packages under /opt/local directory, and the following switches mast be specified on the GCC/UPC configuration line "--with-gmp=/opt/local --with-mfpr=/opt/local" if configured and built from sources. If binary release is used, GMP and MPFR libraries must be installed under /opt/local directory.
For further information please follow instructions on the configuration page.
