Does anyone who down voted me gave a shot to compile a c++ program without the developer tools?

The easy way to install the last version of ruby is to compile and install from source. If I want to do that, I need make, gcc, etc... Actually, if I want to install that tools easily I need to install Apple developer tools... and now I have to paid for that.
Okay, I can download and install each software from the apple.com/opensource... put it is such a pain. I can download XCode 3.... but it is not the lastest nor the greatest. Okay, I can change my OS, but I love it. It is sad that I have to move from it.
The point is I do not care about Xcode and iPhone development. The point is I want to compile and run the last version of Ruby.
I really frustrating that all easy mechanisms (install developer tools and you have everything) is gone in the paid land.
If I have to leave the Apple ecosystem, fine. But I was looking for less drastic way. Someone who made a "get-all-these-app-witout-apple-xcode-stuff-because-you-shoud-pay-for-that" will be a good solution.
