I've created a pull request which should fix this problem. In the meantime I have created a new installer:

I don't have Xcode. I will try installing it and seeing how it influences the D installer.

I tried getting it from the app store and got an error dialog saying "Xcode can't be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.7.4 or later is required.". I am trying to find an older version that will work on 10.6 but so far I haven't found a way to get it without creating an Apple Developer account. I am not sure if I am willing to do that.

Jacob, can I just run the commands or do I need to be in a specific directory (/usr or /usr/bin or something like that)? Do I need to replace the ${MAKER} string? If so, with what?

You do need Xcode regardless of how you install D. You can download older versions here:

https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action

Search for "Xcode" and go to the third page. I think you should be able to run the latest version of Xcode 3.

Make sure you install the command line tools.

I am trying to find an older version that will work on 10.6 but so far I haven't found a way to get it without creating an Apple Developer account. I am not sure if I am willing to do that.

I am having a similar problem trying to get Xcode 4 for Snow Leopard. Clearly Apple's policy is that anything other than currently purchasable hardware is out-of-date legacy and should be immediately disposed of, to be replaced with something new and shiny. Not what I would call quality customer care.

Getting an Apple Developer account will almost certainly be necessary to get Xcode. I recollect having to sign up, but nothing bad has happened because of it as far as I know.

You first need to install Xcode. Which you will need regardless of how you install D.

The safest would be to clone the installer repository and run the commands from the same directory that makefile is located in.

* Replace ${MAKER} with /Developer/usr/bin/packagemaker
* Replace $1 with 2.061
* Replace $2 with 2
* You don't need to run the "hdiutil" command

You might want to try downloading the installer again. I've fixed the issue but I don't know if a new installer has been uploaded since I did that.

Xcode is not available on Snow Leopard. Perhaps that's what you're saying.

Yes, you need a free developer account. It might work with an iTunes/App Store account as well.

Older versions of Xcode are available here:

I have Xcode 3, but cannot find a way of getting Xcode 4 for Snow Leopard.

Because it's not available for Snow Leopard.
