- Bonjour MacAppiens et MacAppiennes
-
- We proceed yesterday, to some tests of our MacApp products under AU/X and here
- is the results
- Test of Applications using MacApp 1.1.1 with some WinSoft modifications.
- under AU/X 1.0 and a Mac II (not IIx).
- With an AU/X tool, we proceed to a copy of our Applications from a Macintosh
- floppy-disk to the AU/X part of the Harddisk. After that, We launch the
- Application to test using the 'launch' command. And The screen switch to a
- Macintosh classical screen :
-
- 1/ We was expecting some adressing errors (our applications have some modules
- writen in C) and we did get none ! Good news.
-
- 2/ Debug versions crach immediatly (before the display of the Debug Window).
- Please note that under UNIX, a crach is handled in a different way. No bomb,
- but you come back to the SHELL with a message (XXXXX, core dumped) and a core
- file is created.
- This problem make the debugging very difficult. We don't know today if it is
- possible to use the AU/X debuggers without recompilation under AU/X. Hope that
- Apple will give us this information soon.
-
- 3/ The cursor is crazy. It still arrow the most part of the time. All our
- cursors are ignored (we think that they are handled with a total respect of the
- MacApp methode and they work correctly on Mac/OS).
- When the watch cursor is displayed (after a long operation) it stick to the
- watch until you clic on the MenuBar. After a clic in the MenuBar and during the
- execution of MenuSelect, the cursor switch back to the watch.
- It seems that the MacApp VBL Task is not accepted by AU/X. Any idea ?
-
- Next points does not concern MacApp directly but are important to know :
-
- 4/ Sound is not handled. When the application play sounds, no thing happend.
- Next release ?
-
- 5/ Don't assume that a system folder exist. There is no blessed folder when
- your program is running under AU/X.
-
-
- Under AU/X, there is a C Compiler. Some one says that it is MPW C compatible
- and it is easy to recompile a C application to get an AU/X native application.
- It was impossible to test this approche because there is no MPW PASCAL
- compatible compiler under AU/X. Any project ?
-
- How to detect that an application is runnig under AU/X. If there is a test
- please let me know. It may be a good idea to include in the MacApp global
- gConfiguration the Field 'isUnderAUX' set to TRUE if the application is running
- under AU/X.
-
- A bientot.
