Remove Xcode 3.2.6 from Lion 10.7.2

Question

I installed xCode 3.2.6 on my Lion 10.7.2.

After installation, I can not find the xCode icon to run it. I should know that 3.2.6 does not support Lion.

However, the worst would happen when I tried to remove it using

sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all 

Unfortunately, uninstall-devtools was not. I'm stuck nowhere.

Does anyone know how to remove it and install xCode 4.2?

Answer 1

If / Developer / Library / uninstall-devtools does not exist, skip this step.

Delete the / Develop folder, if it exists.

Install xCode 4.2. The e eccode icon will be in / Developer / Applications

The latest version of Xcode is even easier to install, get it if you have access.

Answer 2

After running fire command on terminal and deleting all xcode files and folders

 sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all 

also more info and show uninstal log so go here

Answer 3

If you install Xcode 3 from the GUI on Lion, you will get a bunch of random tools, but not the actual Xcode toolkit. In this case, you can use the uninstall tools located in / Library / Developer / Shared (and not / Developer / Library).

You can fully install Xcode 3 on Lion through the terminal using the following commands:

 export COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL=1 open "/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Xcode and iOS SDK.mpkg" 

Answer 4

caution: if you work in ruby, you better stay with xCode 4.1
