Need help with CW 7 and Carbon Libs

SDL Development
1

Hey everyone, I’m new to this list and just want to mention that I am
really excited with the possibilities of SDL and hope that as I become
better at SDL, I can share my new-found knowledge with people in my
shoes down the road. I am using MacOS X as my primary development
environment, but I am also going to be developing for Win32 and classic
MacOS, thus is the reason for choosing SDL. :slight_smile:

I also have another off-subject question. What is happening with
SDL_Net for MacOS Carbon? I REALLY want it badly! :slight_smile:

Anyways, I was originally using SDL for OS X for testing my app, but I
just got CodeWarrior 7 Professional and I would like to have it work on
MacOS 9 too. I got the PPC libs to build properly, but CW 7 doesn’t
want to compile the carbon release\debug libraries. Says it can’t find
Carbon.h which isn’t natural :slight_smile: Carbon apps are linking and building as
they should outside of using SDL. For bottom line, anyone have a built
version of the latest SDL Carbon library for which I can include into my
Carbon SDL apps? That would be much appreciated :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance,

That isn’t off topic. There are several people on this list that
entertain pretty much all questions about MacOS 9 and X, including all
the auxiliary SDL libraries out there. I don’t think anyone has tried
building SDL_Net as a CFM/Carbon library yet. I expect it wouldn’t be
too hard to accomplish, since it shouldn’t use anything that was cut
from Carbon.

I am doing an audit/update of the CodeWarrior stuff in the next few
weeks to make sure that everything runs smoothly. I don’t have CW 7, but
I’ll try to figure out what I can do to remedy this problem.

I don’t recommend that you use the Carbon version of SDL for Mac OS 9 or
Mac OS X, since it is flaky at best. We haven’t looked at the Carbon
port much except for getting it to compile, which has left us with some
performance issues on OS X. However, the OS 9 libraries should be
working fine, which is what I recommend you use. You’ll have to test in
Classic which stinks, but I don’t expect you’ll see too much of a
difference between the different variants of the library so you
shouldn’t have to do this very frequently.

I am curious if CW 7 can use the Framework bundle and libsdlmain.a that
we are currently using in Project Builder. I’ve heard that it supports
Frameworks, but the extent of which I have no idea. Have you tried doing
this, or know if anyone else has?

I don’t have a build of the Carbon library on hand. I am in the process
of updating the CodeWarrior installation and assorted files which has
left me in an unbuildable state at the moment… If you are still
interested, I can send it to you when I get things straightened out.

Cheers,
