I just purchased a new MacBook Pro with 10.7 Lion and installed Xcode 4 (as it is the only version 10.7 supports). But, to support older versions of the software that I develop for, I need 10.6 and Xcode 3.x as well. I understand that I can set up a dual boot for both OSs. That is not the...

In the latest version of the company's software in which I develop C++ cross-platform plugins, they now require MacOS 10.5 and Xcode 3.1 in order to build a multi-target, 32/64-bit dylib plugin for Mac. I've already asked the company how I would go about using Cocoa instead of Carbon for...

On a multi-user machine, how would one get the current user's folder path (i.e.: /Users/<user>) in Carbon only (Xcode C++). Seems that using environmental variables (getenv()) returns nothing for "PWD". Thanks, Robert

Since I do development, I want to keep my iMac G5 at 10.4.11 (Tiger) while having 10.5.2 (Leopard) on an external drive for booting and customer support (in the meantime anyways - at some point, I may move the internal to Leopard and keep a version of Tiger on the external drive for customer...

Anyone have code (or links thereof) to do this - Open a Finder window to display a file/folder from an application? I understand that AppleEvent is involved here - but it sure would be nice to have some code that exemplified this. Please, no Cocoa, no Objective-C. Thanks

Hmmmm. I have a strange problem. The application for which I develop plugins seems to have changed its QuickTime image support from one version to the next. In all previous versions (v 10.1 back), the PICT images with alpha transparency extracted from Resource Fork data work fairly well. In...

Hello all, This is very odd. In order to do an alphanumeric sort of folders/files in a tree, I coded my own little QSort. Only the data between the items is swapped - no pointers are harmed. This was heavily tested on Windows 32|64-bit and MacOS PPC (CodeWarrior) using the same...

I'm looking for a way to convert this code from CodeWarrior PPC to Xcode Universal Binary. I'm not doing Carbon or Cocoa. It is a C++ application SDK and creates a dylib. The resource data is NOT part of the build - it is data read by the application plugin being created - external, not...

Okay, that isn't a very informative title. Here are the details: I'm trying port a plugin which works on Windows (boo) to MacOS in CodeWarrior 9.0. There is a working project file for other similar plugins which I used and setup for this port. But when I try to compile the plugin...

Now here's one that I can't figure out or find an answer. My plugin is compiling and linking into a PPC/i386 dylib. I'm using the -lz flag for the linker and include the zlib headers (zconf.h and zlib.h) as usual. No warnings or errors related to zlib. I am certain that libz.dylib (and its...

Hello, First I'll give some background so that you understand my migration span and (limited) knowledge and experience here. All of my MacOS development has been restricted to CodeWarrior MacOS Classic CFM libraries for plugin development. The application for which I develop plugins has...

I am still rather new to MacOS programming (almost 20 years other). I have a plugin for an application. Using CodeWarrior Pro 9 for MacOS and a Classic target to make a shared lib (the plugin) using C++. The plugin works quite well, but it needs to access the resource forks of other files to...

Well, I'm not happy about this, but recent "financial" misfortunes mainly to do with medical emergencies are forcing me to heavily consider the sale of my Power Mac G4 system in order to keep afloat. To make the sale smooth for both myself and especially for the new owner, how to transfer...

For some reason, my Airport connectivity to the internet is lost ever since I stopped the Web serving service. I can't ping the default Gateway, I can't get email, can't get to the web, can't download crucially needed upgrades for over a month. But, it finds the wireless router. I have...

The subject line says it all. I'm using a Mac G4 with SuperDrive and OS 10.1.5 and would like to create data DVDs for archival purposes that are readable by both the Mac and Windows PCs. I see that Roxio Toast 5.0 Titanium will do this. What do you think about it and are any alternatives...
