Caveats for the developer when upgrading Mac OSX to Mountain Lion
Tweet Follow @hazula
-
Make a copy of your /etc/hosts and anything in your /etc/apache2 as the upgrade totally blows these away.
-
You will also have to reinstall any apache plugins, such as phusion passenger.
-
If you had set iChat to log messages, this setting will not be carried forward to the new messages app
-
You’ll have to re-install all developer tools
-
Mountain Lion moved the XCode directory, so uninstall the old one
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=xcodedir
To use homebrew, you’ll have to fix some references:
-
sudo chown -R
whoami/usr/local
-
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql
brew –prefix/mysql
-
brew update
-
gcc:
-
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2
-
OR
-
export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2
-
OR
-
brew tap homebrew/dupes; brew install apple-gcc42
-
x11: (install XQuartz)
-
sudo ln -s /opt/X11/ /usr/X11
-
OR
-
export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/X11/include
