[Bug-apl] Building on OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion

[Peter Teeson]

Mac Pro Desktop dual quad core CPU's, Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5

I DL'd the 2014-01-13 APL 1.2 tar.gz and did ./configure.
Blew up because of
configure:2767: checking for gcc
configure:2797: result: no
configure:2860: checking for cc
configure:2907: result: no
configure:2963: checking for cl.exe
configure:2993: result: no
configure:3017: error: in `/Users/pteeson/Desktop/APL/apl-1.2':
configure:3020: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

Apple's Xcode uses llvm-gcc4. I'm not deeply familiar with the whole GNU make 
system.

Do I need to set an environment var for gcc and cc?
Where is the proper place to do this? In configure.ac? AC_PROG_CXX AC_PROG_CC
Or some other way?

Sorry to be so ignorant of naked unix but it's never been necessary for me to 
dig that deep.

Thanks and respect….
