Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / February 2004

Ron, thank you so much for the help. I finally got CodeWarrior 8.3
successfully re-installed. For your records, there is no '10.2.7 SDK'
option in the Xcode Tools CD of Panther. Instead I have used the
Cross-Development/Mac OS X 10.2 SDK option.
For the newbies like me, I noted exactly what I did. This might help
some of us.

INSTALLING CODEWARRIOR 8.3 ON PANTHER 10.3.2

"Right the SDK changed so the headers and libraries don't fit... here is
the solution."
Ron

1- Start from scratch if you had CodeWarrior already installed:
a/ Trash the 'Developer' folder found at the root of your disk
b/ Trash the previously installed 'Metrowerks CodeWarrior 8.0' folder
found in the system 'Applications' folder
c/ Trash the 'Metrowerks' folder found in the system Library/Preferences
folder.

2- Install the December 2002 Developer Tools SDK
In order to download this SDK you must register (it's free) as an ADC
member on:
http://connect.apple.com/
Once on the Member Site, select 'Dowload Software', then 'Mac OS X',
then 'December 2002 Mac OS X Developer Tools'. Its size is 301.2 MB.
Once downloaded, unpack and install the SDK. This will create a
'Developer' folder at the root of your disk.

3- Install Xcode Tools using the 'Xcode Tools' CD that came with Panther.
Once you've selected the disk on which the installation should take
place, click on the 'Customize' button, and in 'Cross-Development'
select 'Mac OS X 10.2 SDK' (not 10.3 !). Upgrade.
This install modifies the 'Developer' folder where it creates a
'MacOSX10.2.7.sdk' folder.

4- Modify Apple's 'limits.h' found in
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.7SDK/usr/include/ppc/limits.h
(modification provided by MW Ron):

Change :

#ifndef _PPC_LIMITS_H_
#define _PPC_LIMITS_H_

#define    CHAR_BIT    8        /* number of bits in a char */
#define    MB_LEN_MAX    6        /* Allow 31 bit UTF2 */

#define    CLK_TCK        100        /* ticks per second */

to

#ifndef _PPC_LIMITS_H_
#define _PPC_LIMITS_H_

#define    CLK_TCK        100        /* ticks per second */

#if !_MSL_USING_MW_C_HEADERS

#define    CHAR_BIT    8        /* number of bits in a char */
#define    MB_LEN_MAX    6        /* Allow 31 bit UTF2 */

And, at the end of the file, add :

#endif  /* _MSL_USING_MW_C_HEADERS */

before

#endif /* _PPC_LIMITS_H_ */

5- Install CodeWarrior 8.0 using the CD
Open the menu Edit > Preferences..., select 'Source Trees', select 'OS X
Volume' and change the 'Absolute Path' by Choosing
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.7SDK/.

6- Install the CodeWarrior 8.2 and 8.3 updates
CodeWarrior Development Tools For Mac OS, v8.2 Update (21 MB):
ftp://ftp5.metrowerks.com/pub/updates/CWMacOS8/CW8_2_Update_Installer.sit
CodeWarrior Development Tools For Mac OS, v8.3 Update (28 MB):
ftp://ftp5.metrowerks.com/pub/updates/CWMacOS8/CW_8_3_Update_Installer.si
t
At the end of the 8.3 update the installer offers you to 'Open Build
Libraries'. This will automatically open 'BuildLibraries.mcp' for
rebuilding (select menu item Project > Make). The precompiled headers as
well as the MSL Mac OS X libraries will be rebuilt.

You are done.
