Since years I work on a couple of computers via command line. Since they are real unix computers it all works remarkably well. For a specific solution I need to run osacompile. AppleScript needs to get compiled. I did not find a way to distribute it as text. So finally I got a hold of an OS X machine in the internet. More on that part later. osacompile really wants to run the application that it will talk to later. Also rather odd. But, hey, we talk Apple here. A sect in disguise of a technology company. So everything is possible. Or rather impossible. Like adding a development environment. The Box happened to have no Dev Tools installed. Usually that’s maybe a bit timely but overall straight forward. Installing development tools on a unix computer.
\nWith Apple OS X 10.4.11 it turns out that doing so via ssh is not as trivial. You can download the source code. But first you need to create a developer account with ADC. It’s free. It’s annoying. They keep forgetting my password. Once you logged in,
\nyou could download the dmg file to your local machine. I could have done that and waited only a couple of weeks for my DSL to upload the 900+ MB file to the final server I need it on. Downloading the dmg directly did not work. I had to fake a login. Which is easier as it seems. In the browser that is logged in (firefox I assume) you look for a cookie called ADCDownloadAuth. This you copy paste into the following command line:
\n
\ncurl -b \"ADCDownloadAuth=SomeVeryLongCookieString\" -O \\
\nhttp:\/\/adcdownload.apple.com\/Developer_Tools\/xcode_2.5_developer_tools\/xcode25_8m2558_developerdvd.dmg
\n<\/code>
\nAt least that’s the valid file of today.
\nOnce you have the file you attach (aka mount) it via:
\n
\nhdiutil attach xcode25_8m2558_developerdvd.dmg
\n<\/code>
\nand navigate into
\n
\n\/Volumes\/Xcode Tools\/Packages
\n<\/code>
\nto then run:
\n
\nsudo installer -verbose -pkg XcodeTools.mpkg -target \/
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Don’t run this against XcodeTools.mpkg in \/Volumes\/Xcode Tools directly. This results in the error message:
\n
\n2008-01-09 03:47:43.889 installer[2843] IFPkg::_parseOldStyleForLanguage - can't find .info file (XcodeTools)
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

which does not google very sucessful.<\/p>\n

The install seems to work, from what I can tell so far. I have gcc and make. And that’s all I cared for. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
