How can I install the gcc (c compiler) on my mac?

Q. I've tried a lot of things to do so without having to install Xcode and what not, but I am not able to. I was able to download it but am not able to install it. Is there another way to do this? (Perhaps other c compilers)

A. For GCC Try this: https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer/blob/master/README.rst

You can also try codeblocks (c++ compiler): http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries
