[vtkusers] Best Mac development environment?

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Steve,

The compiler that comes when I install XCode has always been fine for
me. With XCode 4, the default gcc is built on the LLVM backend. That
should work fine, but if you have problems with that compiler, you can
use /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 instead, which is based on the standard gcc
backend. I recall having problems compiling Qt on this platform, but I
haven't tried in a while, so my memory of what went wrong is fuzzy.

I use emacs for editing, CMake for generating Unix Makefiles, and
terminal to invoke good old make.

Hope that helps,
Cory
