Hi, I'm in need of making an application that runs on both OS X and OS 9. Therefore, I'm going to be making the temporary plunge into Carbon. What I haven't found to date was how to set up a Carbon app to run on both. That is, I can set up a Carbon app in Project Builder (I'm guessing that a nib based Carbon app would not run on OS 9, or am I wrong?) and compile the simple example code automatically created, but if I "Get Info" on the built application, there isn't an option to have it launch in Classic, which there normally would be.
Thanks,
Matt Fahrenbacher

To my knowledge, Project Builder only compiles Mach-O files. In order to run in OS 9, it has to be CFM.

So... how would I go about creating a Carbon app if not with Project Builder? Would I have to purchase Code Warrior or something?

CodeWarrior and MPW are the only ways I know of.

And CodeWarrior is the only one that run on OS X... MPW you'd have to be in 9 to program with.
I believe nibs and CarbonEvents and such are supported in newer versions of CarbonLib, though. So you can probably still use those. Just be careful about how far back you need to go: only the really old CarbonLib versions work on 8.1 thru 8.6, and some of the newer ones require 9.2.x. You might end up needing to distribute CarbonLib with your app (or point people to where to download it).

Grrr... hmmm, I wish I knew where my beta version of Code Warrior went... too bad it's this much of a challenge for backwards compatibility. 
Thanks,

Depending on what you need to do (and on how much a stomach you have for AWT/Swing craziness), you might want to look at Java for apps that run on both OS X and OS 9.

Another possibility is REALbasic. A lot of developers will slam it as a programming environment that allows poor programmers to write crappy code. But if you're a decent programmer with a good grasp of proper programming techniques, then it can be a valuable tool, especially for multi-platform development.
