Mac OS X
Mac OS X Lion
Mac OS X Lion no longer supports legacy PowerPC applications via Rosetta. In addition, Xcode 4 no longer uses the GCC compiler. At this time, the FileMaker Plugin API requires us to use the GCC 4.0 compiler.
Installing XCode 4 with support for GCC4.0
The following link explains how to install Xcode 4 with the GCC 4.0 compiler, which is necessary to compile FileMaker Plugins.
Step One : Uninstall existing
If you already have Xcode installed, then uninstall it.
sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
Note : It may be necessary to restart your computer after installing Xcode 3 if you have just uninstalled Xcode 4
Step Two : Install Xcode 3
Create a folder 'Xcode3' at the top level of your boot drive. This is where we will install Xcode 3 to (and not the default /Developer location)
To install Xcode 3, mount the Xcode 3.2.x DMG and then enter the following into 'Terminal' :
export COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL=1 open “/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Xcode and iOS SDK.mpkg”
On the 'Installation Type' screen :
- Change the Location to be the 'Xcode3' folder you created above
- Do not install "System Tools" or "Unix Development"
- Select to install "Mac OS X 10.4 SDK"
Note : Installing the Documentation and/or iOS SDK is optional - install if wanted.
Step Three : Install Xcode 4
Mount the Xcode 4 DMG and Install as normal.
On the 'Installation Type' screen, you should be able to use the default settings.
