I'm forced to download and install all seventy gajillion gigabytes of it in order to get OS X to build anything in different languages like Ruby and Python.
I'd love it if I could just download build tools from the App Store rather than installing all of Xcode itself.

I don't need XCode on it, but I do need gcc and friends if I want to build things with homebrew for development on the road. Saving 4GB+ of disk space is of huge benefit to me.
- waterside81 15y agoI tried to avoid the XCode 4 download when I upgraded to Lion and I used this, but it didn't solve my problem. Imagemagick wasn't working after the upgrade (installed using homebrew and it kept linking to an old version of libpng). I had to bite the bullet and download XCode 4 and everything worked.
