I briefly installed Mac OS X Server on a blue-and-white G3 to see what tools were provided. There is no C compiler in the standard installation, but if you install the stuff from the WebObjects CD, you get development tools. Unfortunately, the gcc on that CD is 2.7.1 (2.7.2? I forget). I downloaded egcs 1.1.2 to see if I could compile that, but it failed with some problems about type mismatches between the egcs header files and the "precompiled" header files that came off the CD. I guess I should have just tried to compile MySQL with gcc 2.7.x, but I had to give up the machine before I had a chance. That's my (mostly worthless) 2 cents. -- Paul DuBois, paul@stripped Northern League Chronicles: http://www.snake.net/nl/
