Re: Current OS X compilation anyone?

I'm interested in trying to compile the source code on my Mac, running 10.8 64 bit OS.
I'm not sure if anyone has tried this for 4.0.5 yet, but here is the source code you need:
The instructions are simple. It's the standard ./configure make process. Just type: "./configure make"
Anyone have a great resource to assist? I have XCode, the Apple development kit loaded, and as I understand it, it contains a C compiler. What else do I need?
The only compiler that has been tested with OSX is the gcc compiler. For best results, you will probably need to install that (and everything it depends on).
The instructions revealed by search are both dated and vague, instructing me to download a eubin from a third party site to bootstrap the process. The site no longer has the bootstrap file, and the most current example shown has .h files that incorrectly make certian specifications... It also appears the conversation was never completed.
I'd like to join in the fun, but as a newb, I can hardly be expected to know how to compile source code typical of more complex languages without a beginners set of instructions.
Agreed.
What instructions and what third party site?
I did try an earlier .mpkg version, but despite it's message of success, can find no evidence that anything was ever installed anywhere on the computer.
Was it this one? http://sourceforge.net/projects/rapideuphoria/files/Euphoria/4.0.4/OSX/euphoria-OSX-4.0.4-ix86.mpkg.zip/download
Any takers? Any binaries? Any help?
You could try to use the (older) binaries from here:
