AMT_PE 07 - Compiling Projects Created with AMT_PE 1.1 under AMT/PE 1.2 (1-Aug-95)
Q Is there any limitation for compiling in AMT/PE 1.2 files created with AMT/PE
1.1? We have encountered some problems compiling old projects with external C
code under 1.2
A The 1.2 AML (aka "K") compiler should have no trouble compiling 1.1 AML source
files. However, AMT/PE 1.2 uses a more recent version of MPW which includes new
C compilers for 68K and Power PC Macintoshes, and new libraries and header
files. It is possible that C code used to compile and link under the MPW used
with AMT/PE 1.1 now gives errors or warnings in the 1.2 environment. For the
most part, these errors are easy to correct and result in better code.
If you have modified the 1.1 Runtime C source files (application.c,
moviehandler.c, etc.), you should use MPW's CompareFiles command to compare
your modified versions of the 1.1 files with the new 1.2 versions of the same
files. CompareFiles makes it easy to integrate any changes and pull together a
new version that includes both the changes from 1.1 to 1.2 and your own
modifications.
