Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / December 2003moving from <Carbon.h> to <Carbon/Carbon.h>
Hi. I have a CW7 Carbon CFM project that, up until now, has been compiled using Universal Headers v3.4.2. Now I want to be able to call SetFrontProcessWithOptions() but I find that it's not available in Processes.h, and so I need to upgrade the headers (as well as CW, though not quite yet). I'm having trouble locating documentation describing how to configure things so that I can use #include <Carbon/Carbon.h> and I haven't yet been able to figure it out on my own. If anyone can point me to some documentation or describe how to go about this I'd be much obliged. Thanks in advance.

Are you moving to MachO also? I seem to recall that you must use Mach-O with framework style includes, but I'm not sure. > > I have a CW7 Carbon CFM project that, up until now, has been compiled > > using Universal Headers v3.4.2.

He either has to switch to Mach-O or copy+paste the declarations from the Mach-O carbon headers into a private header, and link with CarbonLib that's in /System/Library/CFMSupport/StubLibraries hth meeroh  SignatureIf this message helped you, consider buying an item from my wish list: <http://web.meeroh.org/wishlist> On 19.12.2003 08:26, in article macdev-2D5263.00262619122003@senator-bedfellow.mit.edu, "Miro Jurisic" <macdev@meeroh.org> wrote: >> This is called "framework style includes". > > Yes, except that framework style includes are unavailable on CFM.

What problems did you encounter? I've just compiled a fairly large CFM project with these headers just by adding an access path above {Compiler}MacOS Support. I've only had to remove a few definitions that we previously copied from the framework headers :) I've changed a few includes to framework-style, of course, to see if it actually works. I used CW 8.3, but don't expect any problems with 9.1, either. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov > On 19.12.2003 17:07, in article > macdev-4AA83D.09071219122003@senator-bedfellow.mit.edu, "Miro Jurisic" [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > What problems did you encounter? Many of those headers include other headers using a framework-style include. I am not sure how you got that to work. (In fact, I am not sure I believe it, but I don't have the time to check this minute.) meeroh SignatureIf this message helped you, consider buying an item from my wish list: <http://web.meeroh.org/wishlist> On 19.12.2003 18:50, in article macdev-DF11C8.10501219122003@senator-bedfellow.mit.edu, "Miro Jurisic" <macdev@meeroh.org> wrote: >>>> What about the aliases in >>>> /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.0.sdk/Developer/Headers/CFMCarbon?

You are probably thinking of FlatCarbon, while I'm writing about CFMCarbon - it has subdirectories for that very purpose (e.g., there's a link CFMCarbon/CoreServices/CoreServices.h). - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov > On 19.12.2003 18:50, in article > macdev-DF11C8.10501219122003@senator-bedfellow.mit.edu, "Miro Jurisic" [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > - it has subdirectories for that very purpose (e.g., there's a link > CFMCarbon/CoreServices/CoreServices.h). Oh, yeah, you are right. I missed that. meeroh SignatureIf this message helped you, consider buying an item from my wish list: <http://web.meeroh.org/wishlist> > In article <cwatson-44C16D.20022118122003@aeinews.aei.ca>, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > meeroh Thanks for the tip, but I just tried it and got a link error - "undefined 'SetFrontProcessWithOptions()'..." - so I guess it's not in /System/Library/CFMSupport/StubLibraries/CarbonLibStub.

You are compiling C++ and you need to put the declaration in an extern "C" {} block. hth meeroh SignatureIf this message helped you, consider buying an item from my wish list: <http://web.meeroh.org/wishlist> >>Thanks for the tip, but I just tried it and got a link error - >>"undefined 'SetFrontProcessWithOptions()'..." - so I guess it's not in [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > meeroh That was it.

I've previously posted on extracting Mach-O function pointers from frameworks, and using those function pointers in CFM programs. > I've previously posted on extracting Mach-O function pointers from > frameworks, and using those function pointers in CFM programs. Not necessary in this case. As I already noted, the function in question (SetFrontProcessWithOptions) is available in CFM if you just link with the CarbonLib stub in Mac OS X CFMSupport. meeroh SignatureIf this message helped you, consider buying an item from my wish list: <http://web.meeroh.org/wishlist> > > I've previously posted on extracting Mach-O function pointers from > > frameworks, and using those function pointers in CFM programs.

Lately, I'll know the old way to do something, and you'll teach me that there is a newer, recommended, way to do it.

Uh... this newsgroup :-) I swear, I don't have a magic way of finding all of these things out. I read the technotes, the Q&As, and skim Apple's new docs as they come out, and collect hideous amounts of relevant trivia by doing active development. The fact that symbols exported by CarbonLib in CarbonLib SDK, Universal Headers, and /System/Library/CFMSupport/StubLibraries and not all the same is definitely in the "trivia I discovered the hard way" category. meeroh SignatureIf this message helped you, consider buying an item from my wish list: <http://web.meeroh.org/wishlist> |
