After installing using latest XcodeLegacy onto Xcode 8.3.2, trying to compile an Ada program using either command-line 'gprbuild' or GUI gps (GNAT Programming Studio), get the following:

Error: cannot find as for x86_64 in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../../../as/x86_64
gprbuild: *** compilation phase failed

If I use XcodeLegacy to uninstall packages and revert back to stock Xcode, the Ada project compiles.

Not sure this is an issue with XcodeLegacy, but I can't find any related messages regarding GNAT either.

After upgrading to Xcode 7.3 and copying the 10.6 SDK into Xcode.app, xcodebuild gave me the following error when building a 10.6 SDK-based project:

[MT] DVTSDK: Skipped SDK /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk; its version (10.6) is below required minimum (10.11) for the macosx platform.

Xcode 7.3's /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Info.plist now contains a MinimumSDKVersion key which is set to 10.11. After removing this key/value from the Info.plist, building with the 10.6 SDK works as it did before.
I haven't tested XcodeLegacy, but I imagine it will need to make this change for Xcode 7.3+.

The script extracted and installed components into Xcode 12.4 on Catalina (apparently successfully), however they do not appear as available options in Project settings in Xcode GUI.

Hi

I'm using the 10.11.2 with Xcode 7, now I need the old compiler toolchain. In the 10.9 I could use the script to install the package correctly, but now even I manually input installer -pkg xcode_3.2.6_gcc4.0.pkg -target /, it still reported the error. Thanks a lot !

Using OSX 10.9.5 and starting with Xcode 6.2:

• I downloaded the linked Xcode3 and 4 installers
• I ran "./XcodeLegacy.sh -compilers -osx104 buildpackages" which appears to successfully extract all the components
• I ran "sudo ./XcodeLegacy.sh -compilers -osx104 install" which mostly succeeds, but produces this error near the end:

*** Info: found Xcode >= 4.3 in /Applications/Xcode.app

and the resulting install is broken (it contains Info.plist-original, but no Info.plist)
...the XcodeLegacy.sh comment says "# Xcode >= 7.3 disables support..." but the logic modifying Info.plist isn't protected for installing into Xcode >= 7.3 ... :(

The download links you provided only work with the (paid) Apple Developer account. There are alternative links to Apple's download site which really require only signing in with an Apple ID. Most of them can be taken from http://stackoverflow.com/a/10335943 . There are a few missing - for installing on older versions of OS X - but those can be found too with a little effort.

when working with cmake based projects i see some references while doing searches to set the below cmake/env var

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET

i've recently started setting that var (cmake) with -DMACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET="10.9" per this

i'm setting this var because i am publishing releases for older versions of macos and setting that var allows me to run my app bundles ie. MyProject.app on big sur, catalina, and mojave.

my question do i need to download the 10.9 SDK and set that up, or is the current version of xcode installed on big sur able to use that var with cmake without having to download install the older sdk?

thanks for making this github repo BTW 🙏

    fi

...appears to work correctly.

Xcodelegacy.sh installed the 10.11 SDK in the right place within my Xcode.app folder.

However, when I chang the Base SDK from macosx10.12 to macosx10.11, when I dismiss the popup
the Base SDK setting is "macosx10.11 (SDK not found)"

I speculate that I need the 10.11 SDK because the 10.12 is not correctly building my kernel extension. kextutil on 10.11 complains that my kext is missing a function symbol.

When I install the older compilers for Xcode 10.1 on High Sierra I get the following error at (any) compile:

I have manually added to my computer the Xcode1010SDK folder in the same directory where the legacy script lives. I also added in same directory the .gz folder
I get the following issue notice the gz.gz

sudo ./XcodeLegacy.sh -osx1010 install

Xcode 8.3.3 is distributed as a xip archive.
I managed to extract something from it by:

• compiling the pbzx tool (source code can be found at various places, I took the one from http://www.newosxbook.com/src.jl?tree=listings&file=pbzx.c)
• running the following commands:

xar -xvf Xcode8.3.3.xip
pbzx Content 2>/dev/null | tar xf - ./Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs

• the SDK is in ./Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk (/not/ MacOSX10.12.sdk)

There seems to be errors during the extraction. Are these fatal?

That also means XcodeLegacy.sh has to rely on the pbzx tool (if not available, the script could give the recipe to compile and install it in /usr/local/bin - it does not seem to be available from MacPorts or homebrew)

As noted in #24 (comment) we cannot distribute the SDKs. They are available here but this infringes the Xcode licence. Maybe we could just let the user download the SDK from that source?

I am sorry if I get this wrong, but as and ld files that are installed into /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc and /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc64 both contain only x86_64 and i386 architectures. Shouldn't they be for ppc and ppc64 instead?

I have used the script in its default form (complete install) on MacOS Catalina with Xcode 12.4.

Hi there,

I am in a case where I need to have both Xcode 7 and 8 installed on the same machine, but the XcodeLegacy script installs in Xcode.app by default. Mine are called Xcode7.app and Xcode8.app, and I need to automate that installation so it's not easy to rename them.
Would it be possible to have an extra argument with the app to target instead of using the default one? e.g.
sudo ./XcodeLegacy.sh -osx1012 install --path /Applications/Xcode7.app

Regards,
Maxime

Any ideas?

There exists a developer version of 10.6 for PowerPC, and it has working Xcode 3.2. I am interested to compile some software for it like Rstudio and Stan, however I have only managed to get R 4.1.1 built on it (with multiple tweaks to bypass dependency on gcc11), and there it stuck, some components still need gcc11.
I have come across the post that advises XcodeLegacy to build a cross-compiler on Intel Mac to be used for building software for PowerPC: http://maniacsvault.net/articles/powerpccross

Now, the issue is that no commonly available releases of Xcode support 10.6 PPC. The needed version is bundled with 10A96 and 10A109 builds, which can be downloaded here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-x-snow-leopard-powerpc-the-early-106-developer-builds
More info on 10.6 PPC here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/snow-leopard-on-unsupported-ppc-machines.2232031/

Will it be possible to add this option to the script in order to extract needed components from this specific Xcode and install in Xcode 12?

Your shell script works great! However, I found a few issues regarding Xcode 5.0.2 and ppc/ppc64 support (I have no idea if these issues are present in Xcode 5.0.0 and 5.0.1).

When attempting to build a project for ppc/ppc64, Xcode 5.0.2 cannot find the correct as command. Also, the ld binary within Xcode.app refuses to link ppc/ppc64 architectures.

I have forked your repo and committed some changes to resolve these issues. Please take a look and merge them in, if you find them acceptable! I did not go so far as to check the version of Xcode before performing the necessary operations to fix the problem for 5.0.2 (all the machines I am personally concerned about are running 5.0.2), so you might want to add a couple checks for <5 and >=5 if you choose to apply my patch.

Thanks!

Is there a reason why no symlinks are created for cc ?

When building c code package, the message - clang: warning: no such sysroot directory: '/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk' is presented.

Of course if I extract MacOSX104.tar.gz and place the contents in /Developer/SDKs/... no message is presented. However, as this sort of 'manual move' is not in your instruction, I'm not sure if doing it advisable ?

Cheers,

Hi Everyone,
this is not an "issue" but just useful info which may hopefully end up in improvements to the script, but in the mean time, here it is in text form:

Xcode 12 blocks compilation of i386, even if you have a working compiler imported that supports i386.
Through painful trial and error, I traced which file you need to change in order to make it work:

• Open: /Applications/Xcode12.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/PrivatePlugIns/IDEOSXSupportCore.ideplugin/Contents/Resources/MacOSX Architectures.xcspec
• Find: DeprecatedError = YES;
• Change to: DeprecatedError = NO;

GCC 4.2 i386 creates linker problems
Once you get i386 working with xcode12, you'll have problems linking, with weird output.
The solution is to use the i386 assembler from xcode 3.2.6 and replace the one in xcode12 that XcodeLegacy.sh has put in

• go to /Applications/Xcode12.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/libexec/as/i386
• rename as to as_old
• copy i386 assembler from xcode3.2.6: /Developer/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as

GCC 4.2 compiles ppc but resulting binary lists as ppc7400
"ppc" is G3 compatible while "ppc7400" is G4.
After a while I figured out that the compiler provides proper binaries but the final linker messes it up!
The reason is that gcc4.2 links with crt3.o which only has ppc7400 in it. So to solve it, just take crc3.o from gcc4.0 (which is ppc) and merge it into a fat binary with gcc4.2'sn crt3.o. After that you get proper ppc binaries that I confirm work properly on actual G3 devices.

commands:

• mv /Applications/Xcode12.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin10/4.2.1/crt3.o /Applications/Xcode12.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin10/4.2.1/crt3_old_ppc7400_only.o
• lipo /Applications/Xcode12.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin10/4.0.1/crt3.o /Applications/Xcode12.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin10/4.2.1/crt3_old_ppc7400_only.o -create -output /Users/kreso/Downloads/GPP/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin10/4.2.1/crt3.o

Linker crashes with 'Bus Error 10'
g++-4.2 is called by xcode 12 to link the final binary, and it gives wrong parameters (-target instead of -arch) and some params and environment variables are missing compared to what xcode 3.2.6 does when installed on osx 10.6.8.
So I made a python script that you replace g++-4.2 with to intercept and transform linker calls and forward them to the old binary. File attached

Instructions:

• rename g++-4.2 into g++-4.2_old, xcode 12 calls it with wrong arguments when linking so we have to put our middleman script in it's place to handle that
• extract hacked_linker_g++-4.2.zip, it'll create a file 'g++-4.2', put in where the old one was. it's a python script
• make it executable using chmod +x <path_to_g++-4.2>

Libtool merges ppc and ppc7400 when creating a fat binary
If you need to compile a binary that has G3 and G4 code separate, then you'll find that libtool messes this up, with many warnings. Basically it removes ppc7400 and just leaves in ppc. To solve this, you'll need to replace libtool file in xcode12's gcc toolchain with a script that uses "lipo" instead of libtool when this situation is detected. I'm attaching a python script I wrote.

• Go to /Applications/Xcode12.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
• rename libtool to libtool_old
• put my script there as 'libtool' and make it executable

That's it from me, let me know if you run into any further trouble and I'll try to help out, I spent 2 days on this, but in the end I have a working xcode12 that I use to compile for powerpc, i386 and x86_64, targeting osx 10.4 and it works like a charm! Thanks xcodelegacy! Hope my contribution will have value to someone else :)

Would it be possible to add support for e.g. embedding the clang compiler toolchain from e.g. Xcode 5.1.1 and have it as an option within e.g. Xcode 7.x? Alternatively, is there a good resource out there to dig into in order to be able to do this and potentially submit a PR to this repo with an eventual implemented solution?

Similar to the deduplicate there seems to be flags introduced by default that the ppc linker doesn't understand.

Running ld for ppc ...ld: unknown option: -object_path_lto
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If you manually edit the link command and eliminate this option and the lto one that follows it, it does successfully link.

Really love your script, and thank you for the work! I think you may want a privs check on the buildpackages step as well. Extraction of man pages, etc. is expecting to create dirs...

Has anyone looked at supporting Xcode 7 yet? With Xcode 6.4 not being supported on OS X 10.11 El Cap the lack of XcodeLegacy will be a serious impediment to my using El Cap.

Also, I want to say thanks for this. Great work.

It seems that it's too late:

I'm stuck... Any idea to workaround?

Hi,
Seems to me that certain things are having problems. Not sure exactly what is up but I struggled to compile freetype-2.6 for ppc. First configure bailed with this message. After editing the right configure so it wouldn't bail, I was able to run make for a bit until it stumbled again over this error.
Not much out there yet about this error but it seems some weird error related to El Capitan...

The Leopard SDK libgcc_s.10.5.dylib missing symbols bugfix replaces the Leopard SDK build of this library with the copy from the Snow Leopard SDK, which does not support PowerPC64. This prevents any PowerPC64 executable that needs this library from successfully linking.

If reasonable, it'd be nice to have the fix extract the PowerPC64 library from the old libgcc_s.10.5.dylib and insert it into the new one:

pushd /tmp/XC3-10.5/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/
cp libgcc_s.10.5.dylib libgcc_s.10.5.dylib.bak
lipo libgcc_s.10.5.dylib.bak -extract ppc64 -output _ppc64.dylib
lipo -create $SDKROOT/usr/lib/libgcc_s.10.5.dylib _ppc64.dylib -output libgcc_s.10.5.dylib
rm _ppc64.dylib
popd

Alternatively, a command line option to opt-out might be better than having to manually diagnose and revert it :(.

Newest XcodeLegacy.sh generates a few errors when doing 'buildpackages' on the same source media as worked with earlier versions of the script. Errors are as follows:

Running 'install' afterwards does not generate any errors, but I'm not sure what problems may be hiding under the surface.

Using OSX 10.9.5 and starting with Xcode 6.2:

• I downloaded the linked Xcode3 and 4 installers
• I ran "./XcodeLegacy.sh -compilers -osx104 buildpackages" which appears to successfully extract all the components
• I ran "sudo ./XcodeLegacy.sh -compilers -osx104 install" which mostly succeeds, but produces a "No value to remove at key path MinimumSDKVersion" error (as noted in Issue #53)
• I restored the missing /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Info.plist
• I opened an existing Xcode project, which is configured to build i386 and x86_64 against the 10.9 SDK, deploying to 10.4. With no project changes (i.e. NOT changing the SDK or compiler), I now receive these new "bad symbol action" ld warnings:

The linked project has the SDK-s already extracted so your script could use them instead of downloading the entire old Xcode-s.

Have just tried against 6.1.1, and am seeing lots of:

Running ld for i386 ...

Granted, may have nothing to do with the xcodelegacy installs, but thought we should run it by you!

Can anyone help?

Not sure why this is failing.
I'm on 12.4, Xcode 13.4.1, and it is installed at /Applications/Xcode.app

Could not compiler the ppc target with these components.

Steps:

1. Make a fresh project with Xcode 7.3.1.
   2.Set the Base SDK to Mac OS X 10.5
   3.Set the Compiler to GCC 4.2
   4.Set the Deploy target to OS X 10.5
   5.Compiler

Result:

Downloading everything is very slow, especially if one does not need all of the SDK-s.

Hi,
first of all, thanks a lot for this script!

I'm trying to use GCC 4.0 to target Mac OS 10.4 and have the following error:

ld: error: can't exec '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/libexec/ld' (errno=Permission denied)
collect2: ld returned 71 exit status

When running your script, there was a related error:

./XcodeLegacy.sh: line 180: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld: Permission denied
chmod: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld: No such file or directory
installed Xcode3ld.tar.gz

In the end, the directory /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld does exist, but only contains a ppc and a ppc64 directory. I guess there should also be a i386 directory there?

For some reason some script functions do not appear to take effect? trying to compile tiger with gcc 4.2 complains it is not supported.
Whoops, looks like I missed the extra files on the repository but, still...

Additionally for some reason i am getting sdk not found in xcode when $(DEVELOPER_SDK_DIR)/MacOSX10.4u.sdk is specified.
Latest Snow Leopard SDK appears to be shipped in Xcode 4.3.3 for Lion (and perhaps this applies to snow leopard version too, i assume)

PS: for some reason it's unable to link because some files do not appear to exist on the linking directory!?

PS: May I email or chat you?

Hello,

I'm using a fresh Maverics Vagrant box provided here.

I use the script from the Git repository (last commit Sep 7, 2015).

Install works:

./XcodeLegacy.sh buildpackages
sudo ./XcodeLegacy.sh install

But when I try to invoke gcc, I get the error:

gcc: error: can't exec '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/libexec/gcc' (errno=Permission denied)
