That's odd. My Apple Dev thing (free version) looks like http://yomcat.geek.nz/sage/clt.PNG (that's just logging in at http://developer.apple.com/downloads). > First it seems xcode is now free, cannot really check as I have no Mac and > so no access to the Mac App Store.

I say yes, as it seems easier. I have had issues trying to download from the Apple dev site. > Or is this optional part useless once the user has installed Xcode? No. Just installing XCode does not give the command line tools. You need to go into prefs and manually download them. > Or is there a hidden place from where you can download the "command line > tools" alone as > stackoverflow.com/questions/9329243/xcode-4-4-command-line-tools suggests? It's not very hidden, though it appears to change monthly, and it's different if you're on Lion or Mountain Lion. > > Best, > JP
