The new XCode is $4.99 unless you are an official registered Apple Developer (which costs something like $99 a year and probably gets you seeds of OS updates to check your applications against). Non-developers have to get XCode form the App Store (which pretty much has put the writing on the wall for almost all traditional shareware and most freeware development for OS X; there is also a problem with the App Store's terms of sale and the GPL). _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
