Xcode tools

• Available on OS X install DVD or from http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/

Git

• Download binary from http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/downloads/list?can=3
• Verify that git functions.

Dev environment

• (Includes precompiled Apache, PHP, Ruby, and all necessary libraries and extensions)
• Download au_dev_environment.dmg from nimbus and open the image file.
• Copy [dev image]/opt and [dev image]/www to /
• Copy mysql-5.0.67-osx10.5-x86 to /usr/local
• Run the following commands to set up mysql:

cd /usr/local
sudo ln -s mysql-5.0.67-osx10.5-x86 mysql
sudo chown -R _mysql /usr/local/mysql/data

• Edit your ~/.profile (or ~/.bashrc) and append the lines from [dev image]/profile
• Restart any open terminal sessions.
• Append the following line to /etc/hosts:

MacPorts

• Libraries copied over as part of dev environment install process should work fine.
• To install new ports it is necessary to install from http://www.macports.org/install.php. This won't remove or overwrite existing ports.
• Do this after existing dev environment has been installed.

Oddities

• If vim is acting strangely, remove the MacPorts version--the built-in OS X version works much better. Do so by running

port uninstall vim
