Description
It's possible to use the Xcode compilers on Mavericks without installing the command line tools (which just copies them to standard directories). Simply preface the call to the compiler with xcrun:
CXX=g++ -arch x86_64 -ftemplate-depth-256 -stdlib=libstdc++
becomes
CXX=xcrun g++ -arch x86_64 -ftemplate-depth-256 -stdlib=libstdc++
or
CXX=xcrun clang -arch x86_64 -ftemplate-depth-256 -stdlib=libstdc++
