Need xcode for OS X 10.7.5

Xcode 4.6 is supported in OS X Lion. If you are a developer, go to the Developer site and download this Xcode version

If not, visit the link anyway, go to the Member section and Register for free with your AppleID.

Log in, visit the Mac Dev Center and in the Downloads section at the bottom, go to View all downloads. Knock yourself out with whatever XCode version you need. Remember the NDA you agreed upon when registering.

I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and i need to install xcode. I think the latest xcode

i can use is xcode 4.6.3 because i have OS X 10.7.5.

But i can't find xcode 4.6.3 or any xcode 4.6.X anywhere. I've looked in the

App store, "downloads for developers" and the "Mac Dev Center" but the

latest xcode i can find is xcode 3.2.

I have a developer account.

I'm I not doing something right?

BTW, i think i only need the "command line tools" but can't find them either?

Will you even bother to READ the beginning of this thread?

Thru Mende's link, following the path I described, are all the installers.

click this link, and type Xcode 4 into the search box. Xcode 4.6.3 will be on the first page of results. BUT -- you must be a registered developer, or you never get to the search site. Registering as a developer is free, but you have to make a few promises first.

I am very new to this, Do you need an sdk for this? I am just getting started and am needing a little direction. I, too, have ios 10.7.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Grant,

My Mac system configurations are: Processor - 2.4 ghz Intel core2 duo and Memory - 2 GB 667 Mhz SDRAM. I have installed OS X Lion 10.7.5 in my system. I tried following the steps which you just mentioned for Xcode 4.6.3. But, I am unable to install it as it says "You cannot install Xcode in this system. It is not compatible with this system.". What could be the problem? Any suggestions.

Do you have at least 5GB of disk space available?

It may also require more RAM memory, but it does not seem to specify that.

Hi grant,

I have around 137gb if free space. I am unable to upgrade my os to mountain lion nor maverick. Which Xcode I should use for 10.7.5 lion. I tried installing xcode 4.6 till xcode 4 none of them worked.

I have a Late 2011 MBP with 16GB RAM, 750GB HDD (150GB free) running 10.7.5. Xcode 4.6.1 installed and runs fine on it. I use the command-line tools in order to use a source-based Fink distribution of various and sundry Unix tools and utilities.

Hi Courcoul,

My Mac system configurations are: Processor - 2.4 ghz Intel core2 duo and Memory - 2 GB 667 Mhz SDRAM. This Mac was brought during 2006. It is a 13 inch Macbook. Are you sure still Xcode 4.6.1 will work. Anyways, i will give a try and let you know. Thanks for the help.

It works on mine, but note I have much more RAM on hand. Activity Monitor is telling me that the Xcode application is gobbling up 420MB real RAM and 830MB virtual, so it will get mightily tight in your 2GB system. And that's just starting Xcode up, with no project or anything else open on it.

IIRC, when you download(ed) the Xcode installer (vs. installing thru the OS X App Store), the "installation" process consisted in mounting the .dmg and copying over the (very big) file on you drive. When it first ran, it went thru the motions of setting its environment up, taking its sweet time in the process. When it was finally good & ready, if you wanted the command-line tools as well there were two options: download and run their installer (this did need to be run explicitly), or thru the application visit Xcode / Preferences / Downloads / Components and click on the appropriate button.

I am a new for MAC.

Thank You So Much For Your Helpful Information.
