+The first step in this process is to install SDCC. If you have already SDCC running and calling "sdcc -v" in terminal should give you the info you're running 2.8.0. The usage of different versions isn't recommended as the MIOS Wrapper is very sensitive to the compiled code!

 Now you have to type three commands:
-  * ./config
+  * ./configure
   * make
   * make install
 sometimes you have to call these with "sudo", esp. "sudo make install".

-If you want to compile for the PIC18f4685, you need a later version of GPUTILS than 0.13.4, at the moment you need to compile GPUTILS for yourself then. But it runs smoothly on OS X (tried on 10.5).\\
+==== Compiling for PIC18F4685? ====
+If you want to compile for the PIC18F4685, you need a later version of GPUTILS than 0.13.4. The usage of 0.13.7 is highly recommended, newer versions may fail with SDCC 2.8.0.\\
 **Following the instructions from [[http://gputils.sourceforge.net/|here]] we get:**
 <code bash>
-svn co https://gputils.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gputils <local_target_dir>
+cd ~
-cd <local_target_dir>/trunk/gputils
+svn co https://gputils.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gputils gputils
+cd gputils/trunk/gputils
 ./configure
 make
 sudo make install
+cd ~
+rm -Rf gputils
 </code>
+I've written these instruction to store a temporary copy of the gputils source code in your home directory, then remove this code after the installation.
-====== 2. SDCC ======
+====== 2. Install SDCC ======
-SDCC is available here: http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/index.php#Download
+==== Precompiled binaries ====
+Download and install from [[http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/index.php#Download]] or from [[http://www.1710.co.uk/picosx/|Ben's page]]
-There are precompiled binaries for OSX that should work.
 If you can't find an existing working version, I've built a binary installer that worked for me (note that this is not the most up-to-date version!): http://www.audiocommander.de/downloads/midibox/sdcc254-installer-osx.mpkg.tgz  **(MAC OS X PPC only)**
+==== via MacPorts and Xcode ====
+If you have [[http://www.macports.org/|Mac Ports]] and Xcode installed then there is another way of installing sdcc from sources. These are then compiled with Xcode automatically.
+  * Open the 'Terminal.app'
+  * There find the actual 'sdcc'-Release from the MacPorts repository:
+<code bash>
+[MyMac:~] > port search sdcc
+sdcc @2.8.0 (lang)
+    ANSI C compiler targeting Intel 8051, Maxim 80DS390, Zilog Z80
+</code>
+  * Then download, compile and configure 'sdcc' (you need administrator privileges for this):
+<code bash>
+[MyMac:~] > sudo port install sdcc
+Passwd:

+Update 2023-11-26: usage of SDCC 2.8.0 still mandatory, don't use newer versions which come with "port" or "brew"! - confirmed that the tool can also be compiled for Apple Silicon. Link to source code: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sdcc/files/sdcc/2.8.0/
+==== Test for correct installation ====
 A test in the terminal with "sdcc -v" should now show the proper version (you need 2.5 or higher):
 <code bash>

 Please check first if you have the latest working stable versions, fitting to your platform.
