Download Xcode Mac Os X 10.6 8

Xcode is Apple’s IDE for creating applications for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Apart from SDK’s for iPhone/iPad application development, it also comes bundled with gcc compiler and other Unix utilities which are required for installation of many other packages. For my case, I wanted to install gnuplot, a tool for generating graphs and plots based on my data. Similar to APT (Advanced Packaging Tool), available on Debian Linux distribution systems, we have MacPorts for Mac-OS. Through MacPorts, installation of gnuplot is just one command:

Mac users interested in Xcode for mac 10.6 generally download: Xcode 11.7 Free Xcode is the complete toolset for building Mac OS X and iOS applications — and with Xcode.

But in order for MacPorts to work properly, it requires fully functional installation of Xcode. There are 2 ways to get Xcode on your computer:

  • If you have Mac OS-X 10.7.x or Lion, then you can install Xcode 4.x for free from Apple Developer Center. Otherwise, you are required to pay for the Software.
  • Install from Software DVD : Xcode 3.2.3 comes along with some other optional Softwares on Mac OS DVD. Though it might not have all the features of latest release of Xcode but for many use-cases, it would be sufficient. At-least that was the case for me.

Installation from Mac OS-X DVD

Starting the installation program from DVD was pretty straight-forward. But towards the end, the installation failed without giving any reasons. I tried once more but same result. I looked at Apple developer center and after lot of searching around, found a downloadable version of Xcode installer. It’s a huge file (more than 3.5 GB) so took quite some time on my not so fast Internet connection. But I hoped that it would work fine. Again the same results and I went again searching for possible solutions. Finally I found the solution on Stack-Overflow which worked for me.

Essentially, I had to change my System’s date to 01/01/2012, start the installation from DVD and it worked like a breeze. Later I reverted my System’s date correctly and everything works quite nicely again. Quite weird cause and solution but amazing to see Xcode, MacPorts and gnuplot finally working on my computer.
