Downloading and installing the massive Xcode installer is a huge hassle if you just want GCC and related tools.
The osx-gcc-installer allows you to install the essential compilers from either pre-built binary packages or helps you create your own installer.
Upgraded to Lion yesterday, typed make, it doesn’t exist. Installed this, problem solved.

Jay-Z, Rashida Jones, Kanye West, Kid Aziz Ansari, Justin Bieber, Kid Cudi and Tyler the Creator
It’s like one of those awful photos that get taken at clubs, with people pointing vaguely towards the middle and pulling faces they didn’t realise they could make. Except here, everyone, minus Bieber, is at least 50% cooler than you could ever be.

Courtney Love does the maths for us. A great article outlining the artists side of the music industry in the fight to get payed.It’s piracy when the RIAA lobbies to change the bankruptcy law to make it more difficult for musicians to declare bankruptcy. Some musicians have declared bankruptcy to free themselves from truly evil contracts. TLC declared bankruptcy after they received less than 2 percent of the $175 million earned by their CD sales. That was about 40 times less than the profit that was divided among their management, production and record companies.

Artists want to believe that we can make lots of money if we’re successful. But there are hundreds of stories about artists in their 60s and 70s who are broke because they never made a dime from their hit records. And real success is still a long shot for a new artist today. Of the 32,000 new releases each year, only 250 sell more than 10,000 copies. And less than 30 go platinum.
The four major record corporations fund the RIAA. These companies are rich and obviously well-represented. Recording artists and musicians don’t really have the money to compete. The 273,000 working musicians in America make about $30,000 a year. Only 15 percent of American Federation of Musicians members work steadily in music.
We’re close. It seems Gocompare totally missed the ad skipping boat and just came in with their interpretation of the flaming baby skull.
Didn’t realise God was writing lyrics for metal bands now.
Don’t get me wrong I’m New Here was great, but this took it to a whole new level. It single handedly (almost) laid the ground work for the rest of the year’s electronic releases.
A hip-hop album which sounded nothing like it’s peers, after the infiltration of “club” beats and big synths in the genre, Shabazz Palaces turned around and ran in the opposite directions producing the freshest hip-hop album for the past decade(?). Minimalist, bassy, jazzy in equal measure, easily my favourite album released this year.
Not much to say here, breathtakingly beautiful as their previous collaborations have been; though this was possibly the most melodic.
Portico Quartet are releasing a new album, entitled Portico Quartet. It’s going to be amazing. To quote kisharang on Portico Quartet’s last.fm page (scroll down):
So I saw them live yesterday (Gaume Jazz festival) and they played all new material, which was radically different from their older stuff, much more electronic, even leaning towards intelligent dubstep in moments. Duncan even played mostly with electronic pads, didn’t even have a real bass drum or snare. Still really good stuff though, they’re just way less “jazz” now. New album just might be their Kid A!
Oh and with any luck Deltron 3030 will release Event II, don’t hold your breath though it has been coming out for the past few years and still hasn’t materialised.
Inspired by Frank Chimero’s Eleven Albums for 2011.
