Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / January 2004CarbonLib not found?
Hi, I am trying to port my PowerPlant application to Carbon. I just got it to compile in CW9.1, and it still builds as a Classic Application. When I try to run it now, I get a message in a notification window that says The application "myapp PPC" could not be opened because >>CarbonLib<< could not be found. I have CarbonLib installed in my System Folder:Extensions in the classic environment. I don't understand why I am getting this.

When I >try to run it now, I get a message in a notification window that says I assume that you are trying to run it outside of the IDE, you probably can't run it from within the IDE since it is classic.

And all these posts are archived with google, so if you tell us what it was it may help many people. > The application "myapp PPC" could not be opened because >>CarbonLib<< could > not be found. The ">><<" means that the CarbonLib loaded, but that it failed to initialize. The usual culprit in this situation is that you're still linked to InterfaceLib as well as being linked to CarbonLib. If this is the case, you have two choices. Either go for an intermediate step of linking with both InterfaceLib and CarbonAccessors.o, or go all-out and link (only!) with CarbonLib, making sure you're not linked to InterfaceLib, MathLib, ControlsLib, etc. Avi SignatureAvi Drissman avi@drissman.com +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ http://avi.drissman.com/ Argh!

Now I am getting these link errors from MSL: Link Error : undefined: 'DisposeTextToUnicodeInfo' (code) Referenced from '__msl_text2unicode' in MSL_C_PPC.Lib Link Error : undefined: 'ConvertFromTextToUnicode' (code) Referenced from '__msl_text2unicode' in MSL_C_PPC.Lib Link Error : undefined: 'CreateTextToUnicodeInfoByEncoding' (code) Referenced from '__msl_text2unicode' in MSL_C_PPC.Lib Link Error : undefined: 'UpgradeScriptInfoToTextEncoding' (code) Referenced from '__msl_get_system_encoding' in MSL_C_PPC.Lib I searched Find Library, and I found the the libraries UnicodeConverter and TextCommon. When I import these libraries, the application compiles and runs fine when launched from the Finder. If I try to launch it in CodeWarrior, the debugger barfs on it and says: The application "(null)" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "2 <myapp><myapp><UnicodeConverter><>" I am assuming part of the message was truncated. I apologize if you have been through this before. I'm just getting back into CodeWarrior and I really appreciate you guy's help getting back up to speed.

This is a FAQ from CW 7 are yourunning CW 9, it comes from the HFS+ file support. I get these link errors Link Error : undefined 'DisposeTextToUnicodeInfo' (code) Link Error : undefined 'ConvertFromTextToUnicode' (code) Link Error : undefined 'CreateTextToUnicodeInfoByEncoding' (code) Link Error : undefined 'UpgradeScriptInfoToTextEncoding' (code) You may need to weak import the stub files for the libraries UnicodeConverter, UTCUtils and TextCommon. The HFS+ file support in MSL C need these. The weak import settings are in the object inspector for that file. If you turn off the HFS+ flag and recompile the MSL library, you'll get the old behavior without having to link in the additional libraries.

Ron, this fixed the problem I was having. Now I'm having a new, but similar problem. When I try to launch in CW Debugger, I get an alert box that says "The application (null) could not be launched because of a shared library error. "<<myapp><myapp><QuickTimeLib><FCompressImage>" I tried import weak on QuickTimeLib and I get an access fault exception from an operator new call in LLongComparator::GetComparator(). At least it didn't lock up CodeWarrior though. Anyway, I think I'm missing the point on something. I have a CW6 project that is not carbonized. I just want to get it running in CW9, but I'm running into all of these problems. Can anybody explain what's going on here?

CarbonLib is not just another Lib added to a project to make it Carbonized; it replaces ALL the MacToolbox stub libraries. The number of libs in your carbon project will be very small: MSL_Runtime_PPC.lib MSL_C_Carbon.Lib MSL_C++_PPC.Lib CarbonLib CarbonFrameworkLib (You can now turn on Link warnings again) Signaturejons(AT)vrtools(DOT)com > Remove QuickTimeLib and all non carbon MacToolbox libs from your carbonized > project. Except that my project isn't carbonized yet. I just wanted to get it running in CW9 first. Maybe I have to carbonize it, if that's what PowerPlant is expecting. >> Anyway, I think I'm missing the point on something. I have a CW6 project >> that is not carbonized.

If you create a non-debug build and run it does it work? MW shipped a version of the CW 8.3 IDE to enable you to debug a Classic App. What you have to do is copy over the CW 8.3 IDE from the CD(google for the location, I know MWRon has mentioned it before), then set it to startup in classic mode(do a get info). Then you should be able to use that IDE to debug your Classic project. Micah > You can't debug a Classic App from the CW 9 IDE. If you create a > non-debug build and run it does it work?

The CW 8.3 IDE comes with CW 9 so you can debug a classic app under OS X. You just have to sure the older IDE when you want to do that. It should be on your CW 9 CD. So it will work, you just have to get it all setup properly. Hope this helps, Micah > I might have not clearly stated what I was trying to tell you.

I have 170 unsupported functions to remove, so I have plenty to do. SignatureVincent > The application "myapp PPC" could not be opened because >>CarbonLib<< could > not be found. There are three common reasons that this happens: 1. You linked with a library that was linked with InterfaceLib You need to link with the carbonized version of that library 2. Your application heap is too small Increase the heap in target settings 3. Your application flags are incorrect Fix them, the correct flags can be found by looking up older answers to this same question on groups.google.com hth meeroh SignatureIf this message helped you, consider buying an item from my wish list: <http://web.meeroh.org/wishlist> |
