Actually, I have both Xcode 2.5 and 3.0 installed, so I do have that
folder, but I also have an /Xcode2.5/usr/share/man/ folder. It
looks like they contain basically the same things, though. At any
rate, if I understand things correctly, I think that the utilities
installed with Leopard's "UNIX Development Support" package are the
same ones installed with Xcode 3.0. If not, it seems like I want to
use the man pages at /usr/share/man to go with the utilities at /usr/
bin et al anyway.
Xcode 2.5 does not install anything in /usr on Leopard, so the "UNIX
Development Support" package effectively come form Xcode 3.0. In fact,
this is a copy of what you can find in /Developer/usr, but some tools
does not works properly if not install in /usr (like glibtool, and
most of the autogen package). If you only works with Xcode IDE, it's
not a problem, but if you plan to do UNIX dev using traditionnal cli,
this package is almost require.
About the problem with old man pages. Xcode does not really like
updates. The only reliable way to update it is to uninstall the
current version, and install then new one, else there is always
some minor issus like this one. So I don't know how to get a "full"
Leopard state.
I think it's not just Xcode that doesn't like the updates; the
Leopard upgrade affects my Unix development environment, even if I'm
not using Xcode. So does the Xcode upgrade, for that matter.
Although like I said, I'm not trying to do any actual Unix
development. But the command-line tools are certainly handy, and in
some cases (like modifying dynamic library loading paths),
indispensable.
Thanks again,
Dan
The UNIX dev environment is a part of Xcode. Try to install OS X
without Xcode, and you will miss a lots of command line tools (like
make, gcc etc.).
Even header files in /usr/include come with Xcode.
