installer and developer tools
I tried to use the installer command to install the developer tools but it failed on DevSDK.pkg, so I am guessing not everything can be installed conveniently from the command line. Anyone else have experience with installing the developer tools this way?
installer and developer tools
Hello,
installer and developer tools
Oops:
installer and developer tools
I wasn't able to mount the disk image on my remote headless machine (a beige G3 tower) for some reason unbeknownst to me (because it doesn't have a monitor attached?), so I copied the individual packages over and attempted to install them from a directory in my user account via sudo. A peculiar thing happened with this approach: the installer claimed the first package, DevTools.pkg with the compilers and so on, was installed successfully but it wasn't! As I just found out, this caused the DevSDK.pkg install to fail because /usr/bin/cc wasn't there. I finally did get everything to install by issuing the install commands, sudo installer -verbose -pkg ~/DevSDK.pkg -target / -verbose and such, from the root directory! Lesson learned: the installer may lie to you by saying it was successful when it wasn't!. It looks like Apple's installer is still very fragile. It's unfortunate that such a "new" operating system already has a long history of defects with such fundamental functionality.
