More include weirdness: I'm getting the following errors when compiling
my precomp header:
Error   : ambiguous access to overloaded function
'std::memset(void *, int, unsigned long)'

Lately we've been seeing this odd thing with our project in CW 9.2
where a few files (it sometimes changes which few) are always dirty,
even after removing objects and building.
Doing a Make and then immediately doing another Make will cause it to

I want to allow the user to add sounds or movies to a document. For
sounds, if I use kQTFileTypeAIFF, kQTFileTypeMIDI, and kQTFileTypeWave
in the open file dialog only the AIFF files are available. How can I let
the user select MIDI and WAV files? And is this written down ...

Under 9.2 relative includes (<GL/gl.h>) seem to have stopped working.  I
can select just the "gl.h" and do a cmd-d to open the file, confirming
that CW knows about it.  I have selected "Source relative includes" in
the access path (I had it off, but turning it on doesn't seem to ...

Is it possible to use a Cocoa NSSlider control in a Carbon Powerplant App?
The Cocoa sliders look a bit better than the Carbon sliders (especially the
mini ones and the "Round" sliders).
Has anyone done it?

I'm trying to compile boost (I think I inherited a 1.28 version) with CW
9.2.  I get "not defined errors" for the std trig functions:
#include <math.h>
namespace std {

We're having a problem with CW 9.2 that we can frequently repeat on
our very large project and I wanted to see if this is a known problem.
Basically: it seems that #defines in a .pch++ file are not always
correctly recognized.

I'm building (or at least trying to...) a shared Carbon library under
CW 8.3 on MacOSX 10.3 (panther) which uses memcpy, fprintf, memset,
strcmp, strstr, localtime, realloc, fopen, rename...
But at link time the linker complains about undefined symbols for

We have a pretty large project so checking dependencies and linking
times are  very long. We'd like to split this monolitic project into
several dynamic libraries and a main application.
Obviously we don't have #pragma export on/off in our code, so we've

I have a series of HFSUniStr255 from a call to FSGetCatalogInfoBulk.
How can I get a CFStringRef or Str255 from them?
Thanks

In the ancient documentation in the 'Developer' folder on my machine
the QuickTime stuff says that there's a file type
kQTFileTypeQuickTimeImage ('qtif') that indicates that any file type
that QT can display can be chosen in a StandardGetFile dialog. Is there

While reading this, please keep in mind that I'm writing to target
Carbon (and maybe later, "plain old Mac Toolbox") on 9.x and earlier
systems. No MacOS X development capability here, so giving me "X-based"
advice (unless it's got an exact counterpart in Carbon) is just a waste

I want to do some old-skool programming, and I am trying to find what
was the last version of CodeWarrior that ran on a 68k Macintosh?
If it makes a difference, I will probably be using MacOS 7.5.5 on a
IIci or IIfx, and maybe later doing something on 8.1 on a Quadra

Apologies in advance if this has been answered before.
In the context of a PPx app, I tried the following:
void
myApp::OpenOneDocument(const FSRef& inFileRef) {

Ron,
Using CW 9.1 for Mac (Mac OS X 10.3.3) I encountered 2 problems
relating to Packages handling, both on Mach-o projects producing
either a .component file or .app file.
