Apple Developer Tools

By Dave Taylor

I seem to recall a long time ago that when you installed Mac OS X you also got a bunch of cool Unix command line developer tools, including a C compiler, debugging tools and much more. I'm taking a C programming class at the local community college and would like to install these tools, but have no idea where they are any more. Help?

Dave's Answer:

Ah yes, join us now as we travel back in time and visit the software development environment of yesteryear, the Unix command line. Thrill as we see obfuscated error messages from the C compiler, gasp as we come face to face with "vi" and weep in anticipatory frustration as we try to use "gdb" to figure out what the heck's wrong with our simple "hello world" application.

Actually, I have always enjoyed programming in C and have written some quite massive applications in the language. I still dabble in the language, actually, as I find it to be fast, flexible and logical for tasks that can't be forced into a shell script template. I tried object-oriented programming and was even a professional LISP programmer for a while, but never quite wrapped my brain about the concept.

Anyway, Apple does include a C development environment - and quite a bit more - with every copy of Leopard, along with earlier versions of Mac OS X, but truth be told, you need to know one key thing: the Apple development environment toolset is called Xcode.

Zero complexity. Zero overhead. Zero obstacles.

Now you can drop your install (or restore) disk into your drive and know how to proceed. I am going to be working off an original Leopard OS, but XCode is included with all modern releases of Mac OS X, as far as I am aware.

When you open up the install DVD, you'll see that in addition to the cool "Install Mac OS X" icon, there's also a folder labeled "Optional Installs". That's what you want.

Within there's an icon labeled "Optional Installs.mpkg". That's not what you want, so don't click on it. Instead, go into the folder "Xcode Tools", where you'll see three installers: "Dashcode.pkg", "WebObjects.mpkg" and "XcodeTools.mpkg".

Double-click on "XcodeTools.mpkg" to get started.

Get past the license agreements (yawn) and click on "Customize" and you'll see what's about to be installed:
