I'd like to know if there have been any problems reported

With this seed, there aren't any known issues with installing the
Xcode 2.5 developer tools on Tiger, though it's always a good idea
to uninstall the existing tools first.
I get the impression from the Areas Affected notes that I might
have to adapt a lot of shell script phases so that's my primary
concern.
While we do segregate the command line developer tools into /
Developer/usr/bin, by default we still install those same tools
into /usr/bin and other place relative to / to provide
compatibility with projects from 2.4.1 and earlier. So you
shouldn't have to make any changes to get your projects to build.
Moving forward we are encouraging developers to use new read-only
build settings like ${DEVELOPER_DIR} or ${DEVELOPER_USR_DIR} to
reference developer tools in shell scripts from Xcode.
For example, to use bison in a script directly you'd do something
like:
/usr/bin/ld
now you'd use
${DEVELOPER_USR_DIR}/bin/ld
where Xcode is passing down the location "/Developer/usr/" for
DEVELOPER_USR_DIR.
Scott,
Ok, that's not so odious as I expected. Now's a good time for me to
change so I'll install 2.5 later on tonight.
BTW, is there any strong reason why Rez and DeRez can't be placed in
a normal Mac OS X release tool directory? They're very handy for
things related to OSA component scripting languages.
Cheers,
Philip Aker
