Re: [panther] javac @ SoftwareUpdate vs Xcode Legacy Tools



oh i thought the new xCode cannot be installed to panther
and i just wanted to do the command-line gcc
xCode seems to be huge
anyway
even if i could install the rather new ones
am still afraid of downdating the java & javac
which was installed via software update @ apple menu
xCode installation won't erase anything that came out to the world
after that version of xCode itself?
1.4.2 becoming 1.4.1 only won't happen?

to install the old xcode version for 10.3.9 ?


What is actually a problem that you think you need to use a earlier version of XCode? You should be able to target different versions of gcc without changing your XCode version if thats the issue.

ls /usr/bin/gcc*
/usr/bin/gcc     /usr/bin/gcc-3.3 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0

Probably at least to pick between the gcc-3.3 gcc-4.0 versions. I'm not sure which one the real gcc points to but I'd guess the more current 4.0.

The same should apply to java/javac. XCode should have options to allow you choose which you want to target build or run against.
