Hey guys,

I'm trying to install xcode.4.3.3 for lion and as you can see, it's a no go.



I am using the V4 kernel found here:

and this kernel as well:

Has anyone installed xcode 4.3.3 and can offer any assistance?

Thanks!

Xcode is a 64bit app so It can't be run on our 32bit only Lion. You can install Xcode 4.2 but you will have to change the system version before installing by editing a file. You will have to do that every time you run Xcode and or you want to restart. Basically you have to spoof that your OS X is 10.6 to run Xcode 4.2 on Lion. and don't forget to change it back to default when you would like to restart else OS X won't boot.

Thanks, but not really the answer im looking for. I'd rather just go out and buy an intel mobo + cpu than mess around like this.

Havent a few people got Lion to run in 64bit mode?

It´s only possible if your CPU does support SSSE3. (Bulldozer for example)
I don´t know you CPU so i can´t tell you if your cpu will be able to do but if it´s not a relative new cpu it will not support it.

Thanks for replying:

I have this: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1045T Processor × 6

Somehow I lost my previous account. Asked to reset my password but the new one never comes. Anyway, I'm back. Thank you again, RAW X86: your new updated kernel did the trick. Now i'm running 10.7.4 and the permissions bug is gone for good.

Gils, i'm an AMD stubborn, and i'm not exagerating: think i'll rather buy a piledriver set than change to intel; the price/performance ratio still pends to AMD side and i still have faith that the newer AMD CPUs can make through this tribulated transition to 64-bit kernel and extensions. As a matter of fact, i can tell i totally agree with you as far as OsX86 user experience is concerned: i have a hackintoshed atomN450 netbook, and it causes me far less trouble, runs 64-bit kernels and extensions and performs better than under windows7, even without current native suport for this CPU.

Uchihaxyz: Answering directly to your question, -legacy is the boot flag that forces your system boot 32-bit. I think RAW meant 32-bit mode when he said legacy mode. You can't "drop it" on an AMD system, unless you have a ssse3-enabled CPU (buldozer family). A couple of days ago, before the answer of RAW and his upload of his uptaded kernel, i had updated again to 10.7.4. The permissions bug discussed was there and didn't go away, but i tried a new approach to the core apps crashing issue: installed all i need when was still running 10.7.2/bronzovka's V4, and didn't change the original finder, relying on path finder (paid program, 30day trial) to do the finder thing. Worked surprisingly, I don't know how or why, and i could start and quit core service apps anytime I wanted to. But, as I needed airdrop to work, I called dp2 finder back and the crash issue returned. Besides this, I updated the kernel to the latest RAW's. Maybe the return of the crash bug is related to former, to the latter or to none (or both) of them. Who knows? But worth a try, if you have patience and a good backup for your data.

Asking to RAW X86 again: is it possible to enable iCloud/Facetime with your kernel? Appstore and iTunes store work like a charm with the en0/built-in ethernet Yes/latest chameleon/smbios patch, but iCloud/Facetime refuse to accept me to log in. In fact, i have this problem with my atom netbook too. Do iCloud/Facetime work only with vanilla kernel, perhaps?

Burger, the menu bar is translucent?

Yep, and I get the "ripples" when adding widgets to the dashboard.

Hmmm..... I Found More Info On How XPCHelper Works Here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/...echnology.html

Interesting It Tells What Is Involved in XPCHelper
and Maybe We Can Look Into it To Try and Patch Stuff?

Great, justin!

However, it would be palliative, yet a very useful one, to concentrate efforts at tweaking the i386 patched lion kernel. Okay, let's work on it, like RAW X86 worked on adding support on it for 64-bit apps on ssse3-enabled Bulldozer CPUS at least, and it was great.

But i think it's time to move on and face the true endeavor: the 64-bit legacy kernel, be it for Lion, be it for the new OsX Mountain Lion. We're already at the fringe of Mountain Lion era and, without a x64_86 legacy kernel, we AMD hackintoshers won't make it!
