You don't need to sign up for a developer program, or even download the full Xcode IDE. You do need to install the compiler tools with
I see, thanks! That clarifies things a lot.
You dint have to join the dev program but you have to installl it.
No idea what you get out of the box, or what /usr/bin/cc actually is and does, but it looks like the underlying compiler is the clang that came with Xcode, which I installed from the app store. I do have an Apple account, but I don't think it's signed up to Apple's developer program... at least, probably not? I'm not paying them for this, anyway.
