Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / January 2004

I'm working on a PP-based Carbon project (with CW 8.3) and was booted into
OS9 for debugging. I accidentally selected a Mach-O target in the project,
did a "make" and CW barfed in LCommander.cp complaining that it couldn't
find <Balloon.h>. This was a bit weird, so I tried the sample PP-with-Mach-O
projects and they produced the same error.

So I booted in OSX and the Mach-O targets built with no problems and
Balloons.h was found in

/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIToolbox.f
ramework/Versions/A/Headers/

as one would expect. However, when I boot the Mac into OS9 and examine the
above folder, I can "see" every file except for Balloons.h and Balloons.r.
Here is an extract from a listing in MPW (newsreader may wrap long lines):

files -l    
OSX:System:Library:Frameworks:Carbon.framework:Versions:A:Frameworks:HIToolbo
x.framework:Versions:A:Headers:

AEInteraction.h                               12K avbstclinmwod 27/09/2003    
09:00 27/09/2003    09:00

09:00 27/09/2003    09:00
Appearance.r                                  40K avbstclinmwod 27/09/2003    
09:00 27/09/2003    09:00
CarbonEvents.h                               476K avbstclinmwod 27/09/2003    
09:00 27/09/2003    09:00
...etc...

When I examine file permissions etc, there did not seem to be any difference
between the files that were visible in OS9 and the 2 that weren't. Even
weirder, in OS9 I can see 2 files -- HITheme.h and MacHelp.r -- that I
cannot see in OSX (even as root):

ls -l
/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIToolbox.f
ramework/Versions/A/Headers/

total 4320

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  255215 Nov 20  2002 MacWindows.h
...etc...

But in OS9, they show up:

HITheme.h                                     96K avbstclinmwod 27/09/2003    
09:00 27/09/2003    09:00
MacHelp.r                                      4K avbstclinmwod 27/09/2003    
09:00 27/09/2003    09:00

and indeed I can open them with MPW and examine their contents.

This happens both on my iBook running 10.2.8 and my desktop G4 running
10.3.2 (but was an upgrade rather than a fresh install).

Does anyone else see this? If not, I guess a fresh re-install of OSX is in
order.
