I have been assigned the task of putting a pretty GUI on it for our artists to
use, since these people have never seen a command line. I need to find a way to
do this without requiring them to have MPW or Toolserver on their
machines. Where can I find source code, sample code, and/or documentation that
explains how to run an MPW tool from another application -- without having MPW
or Toolserver available?
A Short of rewriting SourceSafe as a stand-alone application, there is no way to
achieve what you want to do. SourceSafe is a tool that is a small part of a
large integrated environment -- MPW. When you take MPW away, SourceSafe cannot
run, because it requires the services that MPW provides. These services include
file management, memory management, standard I/O, and others. If you want to
run SourceSafe without MPW or ToolServer, you have to replace this
functionality. Apple does not recommend that you try this without the source
code for MPW, which Apple will not release.
For additional information, see "Writing and Building MPW Tools," which
is Chapter 9 of Building and Managing Programs in MPW.
