Restart Eclipse, repeat these steps, but uncheck the “Contact all update sites during install to find required software” before clicking on the first Next button. If you encounter this, you may need to force quit Eclipse (canceling doesn’t seem to unfreeze it).

Note: If the first Next button freezes Eclipse with a message saying that it is “Calculating requirements…”, then it may be that one or more Eclipse update sites are unreachable.

Check just the “Subclipse” package and click Next, Next, accept the license, Finish.

(You can check what is the latest subclipse here.)

If you use Eclipse Indigo, you will want to install the JavaHL 1.6.x bindings from Collabnet Website instead.

#Vlc media player for mac snow leopard upgrade

Note: Macports’ recent upgrade of subversion-javahlbindings to version 1.7.1 (from 1.6.17) broke Subclipse compatibility with Eclipse Indigo.

Updated Note: Macports’ latest subversion-javahlbindings 1.7.x works fine with Eclipse Juno.

Sudo port install subversion-javahlbindings Periodically, you can run this command in a Terminal to update MacPorts and the programs which it has installed. Open the drive (if it doesn’t automatically open), launch the “MacPorts-2.0.0.pkg” file, and follow the installation wizard instructions.

It will show up on your desktop as a new drive “MacPorts-2.0.0”.

Double-click on the downloaded “MacPorts-2.0.” to mount the disk image.

Look under “Mac OS X Package (.pkg) Installer” section for the dmg installable image for Snow Leopard.

We will need it to set up the environment for VLC android compilation.

Download the latest MacPorts which is an open-source utility to make it easy to download, install, and upgrade open-source software such as subversion, wget, etc.

Open the drive (if it doesn’t automatically open), launch the “Xcode and iOS SDK.mpkg” file, and follow the installation wizard instructions.

It will show up on your desktop as a new drive “Xcode and iOS SDK”.

Double-click on the downloaded “xcode_4.0.2_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg” to mount the disk image.

This can be the same as your iTunes account.)

(You will need to create a free Apple account, if you don’t already have one.

To do so: go to Xcode->Preferences, Downloads, and click on “Install” for “Command Line Tools”.

Update: For the latest Xcode 4.5.1 (which I installed from the Mac App Store), after you install it, you will need to manually install the “Command Line Tools” which are required by Macports.

(I downloaded Xcode 4.0.2 and iOS SDK 4.3)

Download the latest Apple Xcode development tool suite.
