One quick question. I am sat in a hotel room a long way from a braodband connection. this is a 300 M download. That's a lot on a dial up at hotel phone rates. Is there a less financially crippling way of just getting the essential files, or do I need the full update to XCode?

I've never tried this, but the files have been named. Might be worth a try getting them from Apple's darwin source code, hand compiling them and copying them into place. I suspect you won't get the options (like dynamic library vs. static or object code, object output format, among others) correct the first try. I'd guess dynamic library and somthing other than elf, but I'd likely be wrong and incomplete. Anyone else have a guess to hazard?


I'm sure you'd want to get the complete package installed once you get back where you have broadband.

And maybe one of us should file a bug report or suggestion that Apple put up a download of just the relevant files?
