Can I install Xcode 4.2 on OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)? - ios4

My Mac has snow leopard version 10.6.8. I have installed Xcode 3.2.5, can I update to xcode 4.2 with my present OS version?

Yes, you can. 4.2 is the last XCode version that supports Snow Leopard, you'll need a later OS version to use anything newer. You'll need a developer account to download it from Apple however. I'm not saying that you NEED to download it from Apple though. I leave the rest to your imagination.

No, not possible, you need the latest version of Mac OSX: Snow Lion (10.8) to run xCode 4.2.
Luckily, the upgrade isn't that expensive, and is said to be worth the money (have bought the upgrade already, but not installed it myself :-) )

Android Studio Dolphin (2021.3.1.17) won't start, no errors, on Mac (Intel, Monterey)

I was previously running an old 4.0.0 install. Now replacing with the latest stable Android Studio Dolphin (seems to be 2021.3.1.17), on a 2015 Macbook Pro running latest Monterey, and it will not start. Nothing happens at all. Trying to run from Terminal ("open -a /Applications/Android\ Studio.app") returns no errors, no output. On first run, MacOS does its verification process, and after confirming I want to run a downloaded file, nothing.
Tried:
I've tried removing all traces in ~/Library/Preferences/..., ~/Library/Caches/..., ~/Library/Application Support/..., ~/Library/Logs/... of previous versions. And removed and installed older stable releases, all the way back to 4.2.2 when it worked. But 4.2.2 is too old for the latest codebase.
Is this hardware related... is there a system requirement that might affect this? (info on the Mac is below) I can't see anything in requirements that should case this. Does anyone know of something else I can try, or check?
This is not my screen capture, but demonstrates the same problem: https://imgur.com/a/HS9ufow
About the Macbook Pro:
It's a 2015 Macbook Pro, so Intel based, and I am definitely downloading the "Mac with Intel chip" version. It's "2.7 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5" and 8GB of RAM. I know this isn't new hardware, but I can't see a system requirement that should be a problem.
Additional:
After first having this problem, already Monterey, just one recent update behind, I installed the latest Monterey patch. Following the OS reboot and trying Android Studio again, the splash screen actually did appear, and offered to use the old version's prefs, which I did, but the IDE never opened. Now, even after reboots, and several attempts at installing different versions, nothing.

Lazarus link failed on Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon

I am new to Linux Mint, Lazarus and fpc.
I installed Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon and Lazarus v1.8.0, found it needed fpc and fpc-src, then installed fpc 3.0.4 and fpc-src 3.0.4, launched Lazarus without problem, then tried to run a simplest application in which there is only a blank form. It failed with a lot of "cannot find -l" error, fixed a few with "sudo apt-get install xxx" commands, but ther are still 4 of them:
gdk_pixbuf-2.0, gtk-x11-2.0, pango-1.0 and atk-1.0
where can I find these libraries?
I tried this and it worked for me:
1. Installed Synaptic package management tool
2. Used Synaptic to remove all fpc, fpc-source, fpc-src and Lazarus related packages(fp-xxx, lcl, etc.), used Complete Removal
3. Manually delete /usr/lib/fpc folder
4. Reinstall fpc, fpc-src and Lazarus in order
I had a similar issue with Lazarus and Linux Mint 18.3 just this week actually!
The solution I found was to go through the software manager, search for "pascal" and uninstall any Lazarus and FPC* related packages.
You could of course use apt from the shell or Synaptic as Bochen has already suggested but the Software Manager is what I used.
Then go to http://www.lazarus-ide.org and download the Debian DEB files.
The current version is at 1.8.0 and I installed them in the following order:
fpc_3.0.4-2_amd64.deb
fpc-src_3.0.4-2_amd64.deb
lazarus-project_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
Hopefully, now, it should all work beautifully. That fixed the problems for me and is a newer version than what's currently available in the mint repositories.

TortoiseSVN version for windows XP

Which is the latest version of TortoiseSVN is compatible with Windows XP service pack 3?
I just installed its latest build 1.9.3 but unfortunately it's not supported in windows XP.
1.8.12 is the latest release in branch 1.8, 1.8.10 was released because 1.8.9
BUG: Fails to run on Windows XP.
and, btw, 1.8.11 had a lot of important bugfixes (contrary to minor corrections in 1.8.12)
TSVN 1.8.x are the latest versions that support Windows XP, because Subversion 1.9 removed XP support. So get the latest version 1.8.9 from sourceforge.
You have to download v 1.7
Here is the link:

Installing cairo for python 3.3 on redhat 6

I am trying to install pycairo 1.10 for Python 3.3 on redhat 6. There are no packages in the official repo, and when I try building it myself it says glibc is out of date. I have the latest glibc from the official the repo, and am somewhat hesitant to go on updating it through other means. Are there any other packages that can help, or is there some way to get this working with an older version (we have tried back to cairo 1.8).
redhat 6 is clearly out of date. Of course it can be done bringing rh6 up to date with downloading and compiling your own 3.x kernel with all what's needed to meet the requirments for pycairo 1.10....
BUT it would be easier and nicer to install a more modern Linux Distribution which goes nicely with an old computer. Linux Mint 16 (Petra) provides a distro with replaxed requirments and window managers in i386 mode.
I don't see any meaning in trying to get up to date code on such an old os version running. Every replacement hardware you can get hold on ebay will do better than that.
cheers,
Christian

How to upgrade Qt installed in linux from one version to higher

While porting Qt project from windows to linux(ubuntu) i faced with the following issue:
on windows Qt version 4.8.1 is installed
on linux 4.6.3 in which some functionalities availiable in higer version 4.8.1 don`t yet implemented (ex. QUdpSocket::joinMultiCastGroup).
I see only one solution to this problem: upgrade Qt version on linux to 4.8.1.
How can I do this?
On linux I got installed libqt4-dev, qmake.
Solved: I changed repository from squeeze (stable) to wheezy(testing), in wheezy latest Qt version is 4.8.1, which is perfectly suits my needs.
Using package manager I found package libqt4-dev and selected it for update.
That is all, the whole process took 5 minutes.
Disadvantages:
- As I run Debian on Virtual Box after changing repository I had to reinstall guest additions
- wheezy is less stable than squeeze (I haven`t faced yet with stablilty problem)
I guess you can use Upgrade option in the Qt Creator.
Or you can download latest version from Download Qt, the cross-platform application framework
Or you could try to update using something like apt-get install(upgrade) libqt4-dev if you using Debian based system.
This depends on the distro you are using. If there are binary packages for your distro you can update through your package manager. Otherwise you have to download the source of your prefered Qt version and build it yourself.
I'm not sure if this will help in your situation, but you can download the Qt Online Installer at the following link:
