I've posting this before and no one responded. Probably because dev tools were kind of new. If I have a Carbon app and I wish it to be compiled for OS X and OS 9, can this be done in Project Builder. I can compile for OS X with no problem (of course), but my problems occur when trying to run it on OS 9.

In OS 9, what I see is a folder with the name of my Application eg. programm.app. I guess in OS X this is seen as an Application. My problem is how do I make this folder run like an application in OS 9?

What options do I need to set, or is it something completely different?

Thanks

I really think you should be building Carbon software in Metrowerks CodeWarrior 6.
http://www.metrowerks.com/

It is really the best environment for Carbon, and runs on both Mac OS 9 + CarbonLib and Mac OS X, so you can test and debug in either environment.

Leave Project Builder for Cocoa when you tackle it.

Just a thought - the problem could be that Project Builder is compiling the binary as Mach-O executable format and not the CFM format that Mac OS 9 understands (OS X supports both).

I'm not sure where that would be in the options tho

Mac OS X does support Mach-O carbons, and I am pretty sure project builder using gcc can only produce Mach-O. PEF (CFM) is deprecated, and I don't think anyoneis likely to sepnd the time to get the new toolchain building it, since there quite a bit of other work to be done. If you want to run it MacOS 9, use codewarrior.
