This seems a strange things to say considering everyone I know who uses a Mac for dev uses homebrew, which compiles as part of the install.
- robotmlg 10y agoHomebrew tries to download a binary for pretty much every package, and only rarely compiles from source.
- nkkollaw 10y agoTrue. It used to be like that at the beginning, but now it's rare.
- eridius 10y agoThe "to get any of those boxes to work" part is, I think, the key part of that quoted statement. Homebrew may compile things (if there is no binary download available), but you don't need Homebrew to make your Mac functional.
