My hard drive died, and after dealing with that problem, I did the following
on my new hard drive, and now I'm stuck:

1) I installed Mac OS X 10.3.4

2) I installed CW 9.2

3) I downloaded the "December 2002" developer tools (something called
Dec2002DevToolsCD.dmg from the Apple web site) and installed them.

Now, when I launch Codewarrier, it immediately says "Newer Version of Apple
Developer Tools Needed" and in the fine print it adds "The Apple Developer
Tools need updating to the December 2002 version or later".

OK, but I am pretty sure I indeed installed the December 2002 version.

So I'm stuck!

Ron and/or Meeroh, I know one or the other of you of you can get me past
this problem.

Yes those are the wrong tools you need the XCode Developers tools for OS
X 10.3 They came on a CD with 10.3 or you can download them from Apple
Developers connection.

CW lies to you. On Mac OS 10.3 it requires you to install Xcode, which you can
also get from the ADC site. Note that if you install the latest version of Xcode
then you will get linker errors in Mach-O projects using crt1.o; you can work
around this by using mwcrt1.o instead.

I did download the latest Xcode, and I left 'crt1.o' in my project, just to
see what would happen. I get this single error:

Error: Internal Mach-O Importer Error File 'ImportMachO.c' Line 1112 can't
find section for address

which I find totally baffling.

But thanks to your suggestion, I replaced crt1.o with mwcrt1.o, and the
error went away and my Mach-O app links and runs just fine.

I notice from searching the archives that this was discussed in April-May
[in other words, just a few weeks ago]; of course, at that time, it meant
nothing to me.

So, thank you! You pointed me right to the key thing I would need to know.
And thanks to Ron for pointing out that I needed to get Xcode 1.2.

We are aware of a problem with Apples latest revision of crt1.o and
CodeWarrior 9. You can resolve this problem for the most part by
changing from crt1.o to mwcrt1.o . This is the supported / recommended
way to resolve the problem.

If you need to use Apple's crt1.o for some reason then please contact
me. We do have a beta fix that you can download. Since there is not a
big demand for this fix at this time, I am hoping to wait and release a
more comprehensive patch next month.
