Yep, i can understand that each OS might want to have it's own SDK.  But to 
limit normal gcc on the command line to requiring xcode is a little much.  I 
haven't used Xcode's IDE myself, i just have it installed so that i can 
compile program and i usually use CodeLite, or Code::Blocks.  But of course 
with some of my program that i cross compile i just create make files and 
want to compile it quick and easy, and when i had to go through their app 
store, and developers network and download this absolutly huge install, it's 
was a bit much.  But i got through it and it all work so water under the 
bridge right.  heh

Good stuff, i haven't done much GUI work in quite sometime, other then SDL 
but i don't think that counts as much.  I do like how portable WxWidgets are, 
they are available in almost everything include python.
