Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / December 2003

I've just taken a look at a member of staff's system
to help out on a problem - I've been doing Mac development
for a good many years but I'm a bit stumped by this:

System is OS9.2/OSX10.2.8/CW6 Academic

The chap has got an old CW4 project he's opened in CW6 - it will
compile, link and run OK for OS9 and will compile and link OK for
OSX but will NOT run. All the settings look fine.

I've produced a couple of baby test projects for him in CW6 and
have noticed the following:
If i target for PPC, I get an OS9 ONLY executable
if i target for Carbon, I get an OSX ONLY executable (and upon
investigation with GetInfo, it has a "minus" in the
"Run as Classic app" check box, which I've never seen before)

All my experience tells me that Carbon apps should run in both environs -
so what and where am I missing things?

many thanks, in advance,

Simon
