How to install binutils on snow leopard?

please lists the setup details.

The general Open Source installation approach is to
Download the compressed tar file
Expand the compressed tar file (often times the Finder will do that for you if you double click on the file, assuming your browser didn't expand the file for you)
Using Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal, cd to expanded tar file directory. A Terminal trick for entering the expanded tar directory path is to drag the folder from the Finder to the Terminal window.
There should be a 'configure' script in that directory. If not look in one of the subdirectories. When you find the configure script you enter the following commands:
./configure
make
sudo make install
the password will be your password. It will not see anything while typing your password until you hit return.
Now look at the output and see where the install stored the Open Source components you just built.
You may need to modify your PATH to access the just built components instead of the default Mac OS X versions of this commands.
By the way, "Why" do you need the the 'binutils'?

    i upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

    IPhoto is not included in any OS upgrade. It is a seperate application. Unless you choose to erase your drive when you upgrade no application including iPhoto is affected by the upgrade (except potential compatibility issues). If you need to reinstall iPhoto for and reason you do it from the original source. Either
    1- the restore disks that came with your computer
    Or
    2- the iLife DVD upgrade that you purchased
    Or
    3- the App store

  • After installing OC X Snow leopard my Mac won't go to sleep. unless I close everything out.  It wasn't like that before the "upgrade".  How do I fix it?  Thanks

    After installing OC X Snow leopard my Mac won't go to sleep. unless I close everything out.  It wasn't like that before the "upgrade".   I have looked at the Energy saving icon and everything looks OK.  How do I fix it?  Thanks

    OK I solved it.
    I followed instructions from http://superuser.com/questions/214943/what-is-preventing-my-macbook-from-sleepin g/409481/
    Go to Utilities in the Applications folder and open the "Terminal" app.
    Type pmset -g and hit Enter
    If "sleep" has 0 next to it and the words "imposed by" or "prevented by ; The number next to the imposed by is the process ID causing the problem. Copy that number.
    Type ps -e | grep <process ID here> and hit Enter. This will list all running processes that have that ID (will also include the grep process)
    For me it turned out to be Internet Sharing enabled that prevented my MBP from sleeping.

  • Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on an iMac 27in

    My Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on my iMac 27in. The Apple Logo is the only thing the user will see. The current OS on the system is 10.6.6. Upon placing the Snow Leopard DVD in the system, the DVD players spins for a few seconds and displays the Apple Logo. Nothing happens after 20 minutes.

    Yes, it is ridiculous how it is impossible to install Snow Leopard. I have two Snow Leopard DVDs: one that I purchased for a Macbook soon after it's release (10.6.0), and one that came with my iMac (10.6.4). Both of these boot up my Macbook (running 10.6.7) just fine. My SL 10.6.0 DVD mounts onto my iMac (Lion 10.7.0), but you cannot run the install. I attempted to boot from this DVD and got the infinite white screen and Apple logo, as some have reported above. The other SL 10.6.4 DVD will not even mount in Lion, and will not even show up as a bootable drive when I attempt to select it after holding alt/option on reboot.
    I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.0, attempted boot, same infinite white screen/apple logo.
    I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.4 on my macbook. I attempted to boot from this drive, and got the white screen of death, except that this time I actually got the loading symbol underneath the Apple logo. After about a minute of attempting to boot, the Apple logo changed to a circle with a diagonal line through it (the "NO!" sign).
    I took my iMac to the genius bar. They inserted SL 10.6.0, which would not boot. Then they determined that my computer had to run 10.6.4 and later. So, they restored an image of SL 10.6.4 onto my partition (not an install from an image, but an image of SL already installed). Hurray! Snow Leopard was successfully shoved onto my iMac!
    I then deleted a third partition on my hard drive I did not need anymore, which somehow screwed up my SL partition (even though it said "Will not erase partition SL or Macintosh HD). Now I am back at square one, and I guess I need to take my flippin iMac back to Apple for them to do what I should be able to do.
    I like Apple, but sheesh do I hate Lion right now.

  • I have Mac OS X 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to Snow Leopard to upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to Snow Leopard to upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Your machine is likely too dated to run 10.8 at all , or if it does will run slow.
    It won't run your PPC based software or hardware drives for external hardware.
    10.6 will run your PPC software and likely is best for that machine performance speaking, Software Update to 10.6.8 and stay there.
    You better do your research first.

  • Is there a way to install OS X Snow Leopard on the 2014 MacBook Pro Retina?

    I have a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina that I purchased a few months ago. Is there a way to install OS X Snow Leopard on it? I do not have a DVD drive and do not own OS X Snow Leopard discs. I do have a retail copy .dmg file of it though. Can I copy it over to a USB flash drive and install it on a partition of my hard drive? How do I do that, if it's possible? Can you list the steps? I would appreciate it!
    Thanks!
    P.S. Please don't ask why.

    Presumably, you want Snow Leopard in order to be able to run PowerPC applications.  If so, more information can be found here:

    As Ralph Landry1 mentions, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first (so you can access the App Store), but if your Mac qualifies, you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion without installing Lion first > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Macbook Air with no OSX (Mid 2011) ... cannot install Lion nor Snow Leopard

    I have a Macbook Air with no OSX (Mid 2011) ... and I cannot install Lion nor Snow Leopard.
    I purchased this Macbook Air 13" and found that the OS had been wiped off. Since then I've been able to get the Recovery Disk Assistant to get me into the Recovery Partition on the MBA... but when I try the "Reinstall Mac OS X" from within Mac OS X Utilities, the download fails after 30 sec. and I get the error message, "Could not find installation information for this machine. Contact Apple Care". This MBA is still covered under Apple's Applecare, but the nearest Apple Store is 3 hrs away and from what I've read, they may not be able to help me.
    I know all about Build 11A2063 but cannot figure out where or how to get that.
    Also, I've tried making a bootable Lion Drive from my Mac Mini onto a flashdrive, but this too did not work on the MBA (I assume because it isn't Build 11A2063). 
    I have a huge expensive paper weight with no idea of where to go from here. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Where did you buy an MBA without an operating system?  Was this from another individual who took the liberty to remove the Mac OS X before selling it to you?
    You might try calling Apple customer support and have them walk you through the process, as they can figure out just what version of the OS should be on that machine.
