- Hi,
- I finally got around to installing ODF on my programming machine from the
- DR5 cd this weekend and started playing with it. I managed to get the 68k
- libraries built with CodeWarrior and it seems to work ok. One suggestion
- would be to point out to the user in the CW9 conversion document that you
- do have to build the 68k libraries yourself so that they won't stumble
- around trying to figure out why things didn't build. Even so, it went
- well.
-
- A question though: I see a bit of traffic where programmers talk about
- "and on exit I got this assertion failed". Comming from Unix, I assume
- that you don't get a message of the form:
-
- "Assertion failed at line 27 in foo.c
- Abort
- Core dumped"
-
- on stderr, right? :-) So, how does one find out that an assertion failed?
- If I build the debugging part will I see these messages as alerts? Or, is
- this what macsbugs is used for?
-
-
- Another question. If the above isn't what macsbugs is used for, what is
- macsbugs used for?
-
- Thanks! The mac is different that what I've programmed on before. It's
- difficult to unwire that windows and unix bits of my brain....
-
- Thanks!
