Change Mac OS X Version

[saicrazyfire]

Hi,

 

I'm installing the latest Xcode but the program does a check to see if the Mac OS version is at least 10.5.7. The problem is that I have 10.5.6 and I really do not want to update. I know there is a way to change the Mac version because I did it before but I can't seem to remember what file to edit or where to look. I've been looking everywhere but I can't find it. All I remember is going into the terminal and editing one number in a file (from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7) and Xcode installed just fine. I just need to know where the file is located so that I may edit it.

 

Thanks.

Not running OS X right now, but try:

grep -Hr "10.5.6" /etc | less

 

And if that doesn't turn up much, take a deep breath and do:

grep -Hr "10.5.6" / | less

 

That will search the hard drive (first, just /etc) for the string 10.5.6.

just use a simple customizing sw like about this mac modifier

I tried both commands and the first one didn't give me much and the 2nd one gave me too much. Both of which didn't state the file that had the Mac version.

I ran that program before but I did not see any option to edit Mac version. I want to try again but I'm embarrassed to say I forgot how to run it :-/
