Hi all,
REALbasic 2007r1 Pro, US English version
Mac OS X 10.4.8
I just tried to compile for "Mac OS X PowerPC" and get a wonderful error
message window sheet (here, here Theo [1]). Not only the message window was
nice, but it is also informative: it told me what to do to remove the error.
For that, I have to say "Thank you" to the engineering team.
Now, the real meaning of this message:
Why, why do not do the same for the other way ?
Explanaton:
I used some declare and they were "linked" to CarbonLib; it was nice when I
want to compile for "Mac OS X PowerPC", but I have to change it for the other
Macintosh targets (that is more or less what the error message dialog window
told me / what I recall from the list. I only forgotten that I had some declare
in that project.).
When I compiled back to "Mac OS X and Mac OS 9" (I forgot to change back the
Carbon Lib name), I got a sad (old way) window with cryptic explanation. It
would be nice to get the same treatment (same nice and instructive window with
reversed CarbonLib / Carbon).
SORRY: I JUST REALIZED THAT THIS ERROR WINDOW WAS _IN FRENCH_: it means that is
Mac OS X who send me this message, not REALbasic. So, in this kind of stuff,
REALbasic does not check the error ? Weird. An old, very old bug, that is.
[That is when I saved the screen shot that I realized that I was reading some
French sentences...]
You do not understand but you want to ? Simple, place a declare in a project,
compile to "Mac OS X and Mac OS 9", then "Mac OS X PowerPC" (using CarbonLib
for the first or Carbon for the later) and you're done.
Thanks to improve REALbasic,
Emile
PS: Screenshots can be send to RS Engineering (only ask and provide a report
eMail address).
[1] I make a reference to a recent mail on that subject. Also, here’s the
window sheet contents:
<b>Compilation of "PROJECT NAME.rbp" failed.</b>
Linker failed with error #0 This project contains a Declare statement which
references the PEF library "CarbonLib". In a Mach-O application, you must use
"Carbon" instead.
<Cancel>
[Note the missing dot after "error #0"; this is minor and so will be the time
to add it.
Correcting this kind of things is as important as the change of name when you
copy EditField1 --> EditField2, IMHO.]
