- Fellow MacAppers,
-
- I finally got the new MPW and linker installer and it seems that my jump table
- problems are now cured (until I eat up all that global space and have to try
- out the new 32-bit everything features). The only worry is the caution against
- using MPW 3.2 beta for building production releases of programs but I am not
- having any problems yet.
-
- So this is all that is necessary:
-
- 1. Install the MPW QR1 release from the ETO CD, using the supplied installer.
-
- 2. Since the release notes and some messages from MACAPP.TECH$ warn against it,
- dont use the Pascal 3.2 beta compiler but copy the file 'Pascal' from the Tools
- folder in the MPW 3.1 area on the ETO CD to the Tools folder within the new MPW
- Folder.
-
- 3. Take note of and act on the various items mentioned in the release notes
- including changing the order of certain runtime libraries in your MaMake file.
-
- 4. Add the "-wrap" option to your linker options, eg. by adding the following
- line to the file "Startup" in your MacApp folder
- SET MABuildDefaults "{MABuildDefaults} -Link -wrap"
-
- 5. Modify MacApp using the suggestions in Keith Rollin's latest patches for MPW
- 3.2 compatibility. I havent downloaded 2.0p2 but of the 4 patches suggested in
- 2.0p1 I needed 1 and 2, 3 was out of date and 4 was not necessary.
-
- 6. Force a recompile of EVERYTHING, including MacApp, since many interfaces
- have changed.
-
-
- I hope this helps those who have been waiting to see if the jump table problem
- really could be solved.
-
- By the way, ETO seems pretty good but personally I havent got much from it
- other than this linker. All the rest of the "Tools" software I already had,
- except C++ which I dont need. Most of the rest of the "Essentials" stuff is
- already on the developer series CDs. Of course thee is a lot of beta stuff but
- I dont like living that dangerously. The disk is nearly full too - its amazing
- how many ways you can package the technical notes: MacWrite, HyperCard, 411,
- Stuffit archive.
