We'd like to move to Xcode 4, but still need to support PowerPC development for the time being, so we still need Xcode 3.2.x for that. I saw in the Xcode 4 release notes that there's a section on installing Xcode 4 and 3.2.x simultaneously, but I just want to verify - is this really a supported configuration? I'm asking because I remember that having different 3.x versions on the same partition wasn't really supported, while having 2.5 and 3.x *was* fully supported.

Does the old 2.5/3.x method of switching the system tools via "xcode-select" work too?

Basically I want to make sure that if I install Xcode 4 on my partition where I already have Xcode 3.2.x installed, that I can continue to use Xcode 3.2.x unaltered (including the command line tools like xcodebuild) if I choose.

Thanks,
Jim


Yes, it works.

I installed the Xcode 4.2 beta 1 to check out iOS 5.

I first renamed my working Xcode 3.2.6 "Developer" folder to /Developer_326

I then installed Xcode 4.2 and probably also installed the system tools (probably shouldn't done that?).

I now have a working Xcode 4.2 version and a 3.2.6 version that can build all my software (including PPC versions)
but none of the performance tools are working with 3.2.6 (works fine with 4.2).


I want a working version of 3.2.6 back since I need to support PPC yet for while and also don't want to learn
yet a new environment (Xcode 3.2.6 plus Visual Studio is enough for now).


I tried the "xcode-select" stuff but it seems the 4.2 tools doesn't work with 3.2.6?

So the hard way is to delete both 4.2 and 3.2.6 and reinstal 3.2.6 from scratch but there must be a simpler way to get
back to a working 3.2.6 version?


Thanks for any info.

Rolf
