Where can I get Xcode for my older computer? I need to have gdb installed because I'm supposed to use it in a class I'm taking. Thanks.
Xcode 3.2.6. You may have to log in before pasting the link into your browser.
Xcode 4.2 will run on 10.6 Snow Leopard. You have to download it from Apple's Developer website, as the version on the Mac App Store (4.3.2) now is Lion only. You may need to update to 10.6.8 as well, which you can do by running Software Update.

At the moment, I would like to code something for ios just for fun and to learn new things. I have a VM Workstation 15 Pro, but I only have a macOS 10.13 system for use, so if I run it von my Workstation and try to install Xcode he won't let me, because then the only message I get is:
"can only be installed on 10.13.6 version"
How and where can I get this version (without the help of Apple ...) or is there a way to avoid all this?
Update the macOS version in your VM from 10.13 to 10.13.6. Open the Mac App Store in your 10.13 VM and check for updates. From there you should be able to update your VM to 10.13.6, allowing you to install Xcode.
Another alternative is to install an older version of Xcode from Apple's developer site.
In order to download older versions of XCode you have to have an apple account and then sign the developer TOS to access old versions of software in the downloads -> more section of the developer site at apple.com. You can determine which version of XCode will be compatible with your version of mac OS by referring to the column "min macOS to run" in the tables on the wikipedia page for XCode
If you want to download it without Apple you will probably have to find an alternate source to download XCode (which I'm guessing breaks their TOS)
I'm trying to dig up and work on an old carbon application. Using Xcode 4.3.3, I find that Carbon.r is missing in the project. Even when I target Mac OS 10.6 rather than 10.7, as suggested by Xcode 4.3 can't find Carbon libs on 10.7
I suspect support is there, I just can't see how to "engage" it. or is 4.3.3 too late a version?
What is the latest version of Xcode that has support for Carbon? I'll boot back to an old MacOS if necessary to make this work.

There are degrees of support for Carbon. I'm using Xcode 4.6.3 under Lion for a partly-Carbon app, but I had to make a couple of adjustments:
I can't edit Carbon nibs with the version of Interface Builder built into Xcode, and the old separate version won't run under Lion. I have Snow Leopard Server running under VMWare Fusion to edit my nibs.
I'm using the OS 10.6 SDK, which does not come with this version of Xcode. So, I opened up the Xcode app package, and in the Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs subfolder, I added a symbolic link to the 10.6 SDK living in a copy of Xcode 3.2.6.
Is it possible to run MacRuby with XCode 3?
It is not possible for me to upgrade to XCode 4.2 because I am running Snow Leopard and have a machine that will not upgrade to Mountain Lion and Apple has pulled Lion from the App Store. I know you can download XCode 4.2 with a Apple Dev Account ($100 per year) but I am looking for a free solution.
Maybe there is an older version on MacRuby that can be installed with XCode 3? If you know which version, I would be interested if the installation instructions differ from that of XCode 4.2
Try looking here for previous versions of MacRuby.
I want to say that version 0.10 was compatible with Snow Leopard, but I'm not certain.
What version of Xcode should I use?
I tried installing 4.2 but got this cryptic error message
If i wasn't so annoyed I'd find this funny
Is there any reason you're still on OS X 10.7.2? If you can, update your Mac to 10.7.4. As for Xcode, the current version is 4.3.2. You can download it from the Mac App Store.
The latest stable Xcode release is 4.3.2 as of May 31st, 2012. I believe there was a version for Snow Leopard (10.6) that would not work with Lion (10.7). You'll need to be a member of the developer program (free, I believe) to get the free download here.
I have osx 10.7.X and need to install Xcode. The late xcode 5.X versions which is available in app store is not compatible with the 10.7. Xcode4.5.1 cltools is compatible.
Older versions are difficult to locate and after quite a lot of search inside developer.apple.com located the Older versions of Xcode here
should you only download XCode 4.1 from the app store if you move to Lion?
i.e I am staying on Leopard for a few more weeks, so do I have to stay with XCode 4.0.2 until I move to Lion?
Yes. Xcode 4.1 Requires Lion. This has been well documented, but 4.2 is apparently available for Snow Leopard as well.
Xcode 4.2 is available for both Lion and Snow Leopard, if you download it from the iOS Developer Centre while logged in as a registered developer. The Mac App Store will only upgrade you to Xcode 4.2 if you upgrade to Lion, but you can manually install it on Snow Leopard by manually downloading it as described here, and it runs just fine on Snow Leopard.
Yes moving to Lion is a requirement. 4.1 brings all of the Lion features into the Xcode environment. I would say if you aren't ready to move to Lion yet, then just stick with 4.0.2 unless you need to develop for Lion.
UPDATE: As of Xcode 4.2, it is now for both Lion and Snow Leopard.
Yes, it seems:
This is a pre-release version of Xcode 4.1 for both Mac and iOS development. This release requires Mac OS X Lion and includes iOS SDK 4.2. Continue to use Xcode 3.2.5 on a Snow Leopard partition if you plan to submit Mac or iOS apps to the App Store

UPDATE: This question was asked in Jul 2011. As of now, Nov 2011, Xcode 4.2 is already released and made available on the Mac App store.
