You can restore old GCC, SDK support for Xcode 4
Oh, cool: one can hack, and restore old SDK (and GCC) support in Xcode 4!
And also install Xcode 3 on Mac OS X 10.7, Lion.
I have not yet checked how well that works, though.
Updated: hack-installed Xcode 3.2.6 appears to (mostly) work on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), e.g. Xcode itself and the Interface Builder do work, Dashcode, however, fails to lunch due to some missing Framework symbol (_dispatch_get_concurrent_queue expected in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib).
Update 2: As the link went dark, here is an archived full quote:
In looking through the isDevToolsCompatible function again, I noticed that it would return true if the COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL environment variable was set no matter what version Mac OS X you are running.
It’s now possible to greatly simplify the installation process:
- Mount the Xcode 3.2.6 DMG
- Open Terminal
- Enter the commands:
export COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL=1 open "/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Xcode and iOS SDK.mpkg"
The open command will launch the installer app and allow you to install Xcode
