Read Me for MacApp 3.1.5
With this version of CW, we have tried to do something different with
our integration of MacApp. Many developers got their ETO 19 subscription
before they received CW8. Presumably, they have already begun development
with MacApp 3.1.5 final and might not want to start over with a new copy of
the MacApp environment. Also many of them don't necessarily need the
entire MacApp folder to use with the IDE--just Libraries and Interfaces are
actually necessary. To this end, we have used AppleScripts more
heavily to do the integration automatically to fit your programming
environment.
As shipped on the CD, the "MacApp 3.1.5 - HD Ready" folder does
not contain any CW projects. The "MacApp 3.1.5" folder contains a folder
called "Metrowerks Support". That folder is completely obsoleted by
this doc's parent folder "3.1.5 Metrowerks Support". Also, there is an
MPW script called "MacApp 3.1.5:Goodies:InstallMetrowerksSupport". It was
provided by Apple for use with CW7. Do not use it. However, if you
have already run the script, don't worry, my new AppleScripts will still
work properly. Please follow the steps below to convert MacApp to CW8.
1. Drag MacApp 3.1.5 (or whatever parts you need) to your harddrive. You
must have Libraries and Interfaces. Copy Examples if you want
to observe some of the demo apps. Even if you are only interested in
one demo app, copy them all otherwise the AppleScripts won't work.
Copy everything else if you are using the CW MPW tools.
2. Drag the "3.1.5 Metrowerks Support" folder into the MacApp folder.
Open it and run the "Move Files" AppleScript. It will move around a
few files that need to be swapped for CW8. You can examine the files
in "{MacApp}Original Files:" when the script is done. None of the
changed files would affect your ability to use MacApp with another
vendor's tools.
3. Next, you need to build the libraries and precompiled headers.
Run "3.1.5 Metrowerks Support:CW Scripts:Build Libraries XXX" where
XXX is 68K and or PPC. (This task is unnecessary if you are using
the CW MPW tools exclusively.)
*** If you have have a copy of Examples into your MacApp folder, continue with: ***
4. Now create the CW8 demo projects.
Run "3.1.5 Metrowerks Support:CW Scripts:Special scripts:Update Prefs XXX Examples".
This AppleScript will insure that all of the projects have
the right files and preferences.
5. Finally, Run "Metrowerks Support:CW Scripts:Build Examples XXX"
to actually build all of the examples.
Some words of advice: Always build the libraries first since the scripts
depend on the libs existing. Check out the other scripts. Most of them
you won't need but you might want to use Update Prefs XXX on an existing
project or use Create XXX Project.
Sometimes the projects inexplicably seem to lose their preferences. In the
Special Scripts are scripts that can set the preferences of all of the projects.
The projects were built for CW 1.4 so if you want to use the Browser,
please read the Browser docs to see how it is activated (hint: there
is a Browser Preference panel, and a Browser Catalog item in the Tools
Menu).
