Development environment on mac

[Bob Gustafson]

Congratulations..

I use Homebrew - and get all my usual Linux tools. No dual boot, no 
plugins, just brew.

You might also sign up as an Apple Developer (now free as I recall). You 
can then download Xcode and some additional command-line tools. But 
Homebrew is the main toolbox.

You also might switch from the GNU C++ compiler to Clang, which is the 
normal OSX C++ compiler (also available for Linux). Clang gives better 
diagnostic messages. The compile speed and execution speed is about the 
same as GNU.

Have fun - BobG
