Xcode 3 and Xcode 4: the correct way to install both with Snow Leopard


I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with Xcode 3 already installed (in /Developer by default). Now I would like to install Xcode 4 without removing Xcode 3 (or reinstalling if necessary)?

Can I first uninstall Xcode 3 (with terminal command), then install Xcode 4 in /Developer dir and, finally, reinstall Xcode 3 in /Xcode3 dir?

Since I'm using also Monotouch and Monodevelop 2.8, I would like to use Xcode 4 as first.

Thank you in advance.


Solution

  • That sounds right (as long as you don't use OSX Lion, where installing XCode3 requires a few more steps). Look at the answer/comments for question XCode 4 and XCode 3.2.6 side-by-side

    Also the order is important since some shared UNIX utilities will be installed globally (outside the /Developer/ root) and you want to have the latest ones (or at least the same ones as everyone else ;-)
