Mac OSX Xcode/Command Line Tools

So it looks like Xcode 4.1.1 no longer includes command line tools now that it's on the Apple Mac Store. Terrible.

The good news is, after going through multiple Apple login pages and hunting around, I finally got to the one that gets me command line tools:

https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action

Go there, log in, and in addition to Xcode itself is a SEPARATE download for command line tools. Wonderful.

I guess I should be happy they still have them somewhere to download. Too bad they removed them from the general Xcode download (or, alternatively, too bad they haven't made them another option on the App store if that's the direction they're heading).

  1. You can also get them where Apple put them in the completely obvious "making things easy" Xcode preferences -> downloads -> components: Command Line Tools
