Comment 1 for bug 1237387

Unfortunately, this will be a lot of work. The build VM uses Snow Leopard.
XCode 5 (and the command-line tools package which is the standard way to
install a compiler toolchain) is not supported on Snow Leopard.

Installing clang or gcc from macports or homebrew is doable but it will
entail re-building everything for all platforms. I've always wanted to
build Mixxx with clang though.
