[Mac-emacs-users] problems compiling emacs on macosx

[julius r. <jul...@ma...>]

I am having trouble compiling emacs on mac osx.  I have no problems 
applying emacs-21.1-2.mac.patch but when I type './configure' I get

checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin5.3
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... cc
checking whether the C compiler (cc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler 
cannot create executables.

I have installed the OSX developer's tools.  Do I  need to install gcc 
separately?

I tried running '.configure -without-gcc' which works but then make 
complains with

cc -fpascal-strings -fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src    
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -I. -I../src -I/Users/jar1/emacs/emacs-21.1/lib-src 
-I/Users/jar1/emacs/emacs-21.1/lib-src/../src  -fpascal-strings 
-fno-common -DMAC_OSX -I../mac/src     -g -O2  -o test-distrib 
/Users/jar1/emacs/emacs-21.1/lib-src/test-distrib.c
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libSystem.dylib load command 6 unknown cmd field
make[1]: *** [test-distrib] Error 1
make: *** [lib-src] Error 2

Any help would be much appreciated
