installer and developer tools
Authored by: vonleigh on Dec 11, '02 10:00:49PM

Hello,

I managed to install the developer tools on a remote box through ssh. My frist problem was of course mounting the disk image, which I achieved with:

hdiutil mount Developer.dmg

Then I installed the installer. Now an important thing to remember is that you have to tell it _where_ to install the dev tools. If you try and install them as they are:

installer -pkg Developer.pkg

It will try to install it on the disk image you just mounted, instead of your active OS and fail (of course the error message doesn't really help). So be sure to set the target

installer -pkg Developer.pkg -target /


v


P.D: all typed in Omni, didn't double check with terminal, so if there's any mistakes look up the man pages.

Oops:

*Then I installed the Developer Tools (not package).

And:

To unmount your image do

hdiutil -detach /dev/disk#

The number of the disk will be given to you when you mount the image. If not you can look it up with df.
