If you want the most recent version of Xcode you can only obtain it from the Apple Developer Website (if you are a registered Apple developer) or directly from the Apple Mac App Store here.

Xcode comes with a C/C++ compiler toolset, which (as of the more recent versions) is based on Clang/LLVM and not GCC. To be able to build (almost) any software package on OS X, one needs to have Apple Xcode installed, or at least the Xcode command-line tools. It is kept available for building older releases. The information below the next horizontal line is old and deprecated as of release Oct2020. This document also contains specific information on compilation on macOS at the end. In case you want to build from source code, read latest build instructions: /hg/MonetDB/file/tip/documentation/source/build.rst.
