In Xcode 4.3, where do I put the additional tools?
I'm confused. I just downloaded 6 supplementary packages using Xcode > Open Developer Tool > More Developer Tools...
and I thought the .dmg files would contain .pkg files, but instead they contain programs. Where am I supposed to install these programs?
I suspect the answer might be "Anywhere you want." — But I don't like that idea. I want to put them in some standard or conventional location.
Oddly, there is no README file saying where these should go.
For now, I'm putting them in /Applications/Xcode Tools
, but that seems kludgey.
Also odd: There was a .dmg file for the the Command Line tools, which I installed, but that actually was a .pkg inside the .dmg, which is different from the other 6. I'm not sure why Apple is providing a .dmg for the Command Line Tools when they are installable via Xcode > Preferences... > Downloads > Components
. I think it's just confusing.
And finally: The "Audio Tools" image contains a directory called "CoreAudio", which contains a whole bunch of source code and include files. Where are these supposed to go? I don't want them under Applications.
The packaging of the supplemental tools seems a bit slapdash to me.
Solution 1:
- Find Xcode.app and open it by 'Show package content'
- Drag and drop new development tool from downloaded .dmg to
/Applications
inside Xcode - Add yourself to 'Sharing & Permissions' of
/Resources
with rights to read/write -
Repeat step 3 for file
/Resources/IDEHelperApps.plist
Open file IDEHelperApps.plist in TextEdit.app
-
Add string with name of added tool to first array. For example:
<string>Contents/Applications/PackageMaker.app</string>
Save
.plist
and restart Xcode.
Solution 2:
Put them wherever you want. Unix and Mac OS do not care where your executable files are.
