How to change file creation time under Mac OS X 10.3 Panther?

According to this page https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/99599/430607 creation time can be changed with Xcode Command Line Tools.

SetFile -d

But where can I get Xcode Command Line Tools for Mac OS X 10.3?

Is there perhaps another solution? I want to set my timestamps for my files correctly.

Solution 1:

Update

After installing Xcode 1.5, SetFile is in this directory.

/Developer/Tools/SetFile

A link should be made for the default bin directory.

sudo ln -s /Developer/Tools/SetFile /usr/bin/SetFile

Update 2

Now change the file creation time with SetFile.

SetFile -d "07/06/2005 02:00:00" /Users/unnunn/Documents/Untitled.rtf

Solution 2:

For early versions of Mac OS X, Xcode and its command line tools came on a CD/DVD with the operating system. So the original disks should be the main source.

Apple also provides downloads of most versions of Xcode in the developer support site. You need an Apple Developer login for that but the free version works for this.

For Mac OS X 10.3 you need Xcode Tools 1.5
