where do I go to download Mac OSX 10.5 SDK

Question

ALL, Is there a link to download Mac OSX 10.5 SDK? I have an original Snow Leopard disk with XCode 3.2.6. But when I checked it has 10.6 SDK not 10.5.

I need to link my program against 10.5 SDK.

Thank you.

Xcode 3.2.6 includes SDKs for 10.6 and 10.5. It also optionally installs the 10.4u SDK. — Ned Deily
@NedDeily, I looked at the original Snow Leopard CD in the Finder. Didn't see the file "10.5". Can you tell me where it is located? Thank you. — Igor
If you use the installer to install Xcode 3.2.6, it will install to /Developer/SDKs. You can install 3.2.6 on 10.7 or 10.8 systems if you are careful about it; see for example catacombae.blogspot.com/2011/07/… — Ned Deily
@NedDeily, the problem is I have XCode 4.2 on my Snow Leopard, so all I need is SDK. I'm afraid that if I install XCode 3.2.6 my XCode 4.2 installation will go away. — Igor
During installation you can select a different directory to install 3.2.6 to. Just make sure you deselect all subpackages except for Essentials as described in the blog entry. You can also do a backup beforehand. On my 10.8 system, I have Xcode 3.1.4, Xcode 3.2.6, Xcode 4.1, and Xcode 4.5.2 all installed. — Ned Deily

After registering with Apple as a developer, click on iOS as seen below. From there, click on "Download". Scroll through the versions until you find the one you would like, then click "Download" on the one you want!

As shown on How to add base SDK for 10.5 in xCode 4, you have to open up the installer, extract your package, and then run the installer. Once the package is installed, it should be compatible with later versions of xcode.
