icns Browser and IconComposer - View and build OS X icons.EnjoyEffectMovie - This simple app builds a couple of QuickTime effects movies, such as the one you see here.Inside of /Developer/Applications, I found the following interesting programs: That's all there is to the process of installing the tools. I had to logout and login to see this directory in the GUI. The installer will run, and create a new /Developer directory. The expanded file will be in your /Users/username/Library/OpenUp folder, called 'developer.pkg.' Move this onto the desktop, and double-click it. Instead, use OpenUp, or do it from the UNIX command line (OpenUp is much easier!). Once you have the file downloaded, do not use StuffIt Expander to expand it. You need to know if you have the three-language (early) or seven-language (later) version of the PB before you download, as the tools differ between the two.īe warned that you'll need about 70mb of space for the download, and roughly 90mb for the install of the three-language version of the tools it's a 100mb download for the seven-language version. Click on the Download Software button, and then the Mac OS X button. Complete the forms, log in, and you'll see a management window on the left of your screen. Go to this page and follow the online membership registration link. Many of the developer program levels cost money, but Apple has a free 'online only' membership available to anyone. To download the developers' tools, you need to be a registered Apple developer. Read the rest of this article for instructions on obtaining and installing the tools,and a brief description of some of the more interesting (to a non-programmer!) included programs.ĭISCLAIMER: You can probably do Very Bad Things to your system with the developer tools! Any damage you cause is not my responsibility. If you have some interest in the tools, and you have a fast connetion and some drive space, I'd recommend the download. One of them, EnjoyEffectMovie was used to create the fire QuickTime movie from which the screenshot at right was taken. It was definitely worth it, just to see some of the nicer demo apps they included. Today I finally downloaded and installed the tools on the new experimental partition. I've held off on this 70mb download for quite a while, as I have no real need for the development tools, and I was a bit short on drive space on my main OS X partition. One of those things is Apple's Developer Tools. I'm using the new partition for mySQL and PHP work (for this site), as well as anything that I feel is too risky for my main OS X partition. This weekend, I set up a second OS X 'experimental' partition on my hard drive.
