Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / July 2004

Can anyone tell me how Mac OS X (using 10.3) builds the list of files
that can open a specific file type? For example if I "get info" on a
SWF file I see about a dozen different apps listed under "Open
With..." but only a few are actually valid. So now when I have one of

I am using CW 9.2 for my current projects, but I am using CW 8.3 to do
some bug fixes on a project that I really don't want to change
compilers on at the last minute. I am getting the error code noted
below when I try to compile one of our sub-projects.

Is there a way to increase the stack size of a Metrowerks::thread used
in a CFM application?
Thank You,
dacian

I am wondering if the Metrowerks::mutex can be used as a posix like
mutex( pthread_mutex ).The only way I saw in documentation is
scoped_mutex ?
Thanks,

As I write this, I am sitting at WWDC session #306: "Importing
Development Projects into XCode", which would be more accurately
titled "It's Time to Leave Codewarrior, Here's How to Move Your
Projects to XCode".  There is a consistent impression left throughout

I use codewarrior with powerplant for building a prject on my MAC OS X
10.3.3
Nowadays my codewarrior compiles my entire project even if i made any
change only to a single file ( a c++ file, not an header file). I have

I don't see MW on the exhibitors list for this years WWDC and I don't
see them mentioned as being part of any sessions. What's the scoop?

Apologies for a newbie query.
I have a LittleArrows control in a dialog box created with IB.  I
finally managed to get this control working to the point where it will
handle ControlHit events and display its value in a StaticText item.

So I've got my icons appearing correctly and all looks rosy. But when I
try to copy my newly built app onto a classic machine (MacOS 9) the
package appears as a plain document and if I try to open it the Finder
says that there is a problem with it. I tried copying over my debug

Since upgrading to CW 9 I've found I'm not getting resources included in
my new project builds - specifically .icns icon files. I'm starting
again from scratch (well, from a stationery project) and I see that
.icns files are not included in the file types preferences panel by

Here's a tricky one. If I change the target name in my project (which I
usually do, having duplicated one of my starting point projects) I can't
rename the alias to the classic app that appears at the top level of the
package, which retains the old name. Is there a way to do ...

I am using CW9.2 on Panther. I am having problems where the linker
dead-strips required code. One example is the code below 3rd line
bottom-up where '--YtextLength' never gets executed. This happens in
debug mode PPC linker and default settings are untouched. I believe

Has anyone encountered any strange linking problems (i.e. symbols not
found) when linking a perfectly fine gcc-compiled dylib into a CW app?
After much hair pulling, I did manage to get my library linking into
my project, but am trying to understand exactly which part of what I

I'm in the process of moving a project from CW Release 4 (IDE 3.3) to CW
8.3.  I'm working with a Classic (Non-Carbon) target.  Everything seems
to be working except LEditField.
I'm using the standard LEditField in a modal dialog.  The dialog has

I have problem with installation of the java media framework (JMF) on my
mac (Mac OS X 10.3.4, java version 1.4.2). I downloaded the
cross-platform version of JMF but there is no description, how to setup
the enviroment on the mac.
