3/11/2023 0 Comments No more codewarrior for mac![]() ![]() Haven't tested.ĬodeWarrior Pro 2: CD ISO is available. The updates are available as part of the massive FTP dump. In contrast, compiling the same code but for 68K binaries works in all environments.Īt some point, did the Metrowerks team just assume all developers switched over to PowerPC machines for PPC and Fat compiles? How far back do I need to go to find a version of CodeWarrior that outputs PPC binaries on a 68K platform?ĬodeWarrior Pro 3: CD ISO is available. I tried CodeWarrior Pro 2 with my own programs, and it also won't successfully compile on a 68K machine (but will on the Power Macintosh). Shockingly, the PPC compiler crashes or produces an 'internal error' on 68K machines, but works on the Power Macintosh. That caused me to test compiling my old programs under the same conditions. ![]() However, booting from that same drive on a Power Macintosh 7300 compiled everything just fine. I tried Basilisk, Quadra 630, and a Quadra 650 on System 7.5.5 and System 8.1 (even with minimal extensions and with virtual memory on/off) without luck. Unfortunately, this is where I discovered that the PowerPC portion apparently doesn't compile on 68K hardware or an emulator. The updates are available as part of the massive FTP dump.Īfter updating, you need to recompile the MSL libraries. ![]() Mingling the old IDE with the new compiler might work, but I feel like there needs to be a compelling reason to ask people to hybridize.ĬodeWarrior Pro 4: CD ISO is available. Wikipedia says it is compatible by reference to this 2001 article.īut, trying to run the CW 5 IDE (which is poorly named 4.0) let's you know the installer was not joking. Environment runs on Basilisk, Quadra 630/650, Power Macintosh 7300.ĬodeWarrior Pro 5: Disqualified because it doesn't run on 68K Macs. Environment must run on 7.5.5 (last 68000 support) and 8.1 (HFS+ nice for SSDs).Ħ. Produces output compatible with System 6.0.7 through 8.1 (last 68040 support). Ability to make 68K, PPC, and fat binariesĥ. ![]() The Pascal, Java, and Windows compilers aren't relevant to my needs.Ĥ. Fewest known bugs/crashes, because we aren't going to get support or updates.ģ. So, the original installer and update files should be publicly available.Ģ. A development environment that other people could replicate for collaboration. My criteria for other CW candidates are:ġ. My Mac career concluded with CodeWarrior Pro 2 on a Power Macintosh 8500 in late 1997.Īs I have the CodeWarrior Pro 2 environment set up from years ago, that would be the easiest answer. Compiler bugs and slowness caused me to switch over CodeWarrior 7 on a Power Macintosh 6100 in late 1995. Historically, I began with Lightspeed C on a Mac SE and continued through Symantec C 7.0.5 / 8.0.3 on a Mac IIci. I have a couple of projects in mind, but first need to select a development environment. There are a number of threads on this forum regarding present-day development with Metrowerks CodeWarrior. ![]()
