Does anyone know where I can get the developer tools that are compatible with this version of OS X? The App store doesn't sam to have it and since my developer membership expired, I can't download it the way that I did for earlier versions of OS X when I was still a member. Thanks for looking!
Got a tip for us?

Developer Tools for OS X Lion

1. Start here:
https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/
2. Find the words "Previous versions of Xcode" and click the link "downloaded here".
3. Log in using your Apple ID. It doesn't need to be a paid Developer ID, but it does need to be registered as a Developer ID.
4. You should end up here (requires dev login to see):
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
5. Enter xcode 4 into the text box that filters output. The list should filter down to about 15-20 items. Xcode 4 is the last version compatible with Lion. All versions of Xcode 5 and higher need Mtn Lion or later.
If you want even older versions of Xcode, try xcode 3 or xcode 2 as the filter.
I found the starting page linked at #1 by googling older versions of xcode.

Thank you very much! I tried using a search engine as well but for some reason did not notice that I could find/downlaod older versions without being an existing paid developer. SO thank you again!
And the older versions I have because I just recently got the Mac Pro 1,1 and upgraded from PowerPC Macs.
