This also means that any old Mac developers who still have their source code could theoretically cross-compile for OS X now! (Escape Velocity, Mr. Burch?)
mpw for OS X !?!

Re: mpw for OS X !?!
Oh yes, and gryphel, have you looked at this project? It seems to me that you and he are sitting on opposite ends of the same problem. It'd be neat to see Mini vMac compiling on mpw, for instance
Re: mpw for OS X !?!
It looks interesting. I've added mpw to my Mini vMac Alternatives page.adespoton wrote:Oh yes, and gryphel, have you looked at this project?
Naturally, I personally prefer running MPW tools in MPW in Mini vMac, since I'm more familiar with MPW than the OS X command line. A main reason Mini vMac exists is so that I could continue to run MPW.
But, as I express on my alternatives page, more choices are good.
If mpw is sufficiently complete, I would expect it could be used for compiling Mini vMac for 68000, just as can currently be done in MPW.adespoton wrote:It'd be neat to see Mini vMac compiling on mpw, for instance
It means that they could theoretically cross-compile a 680x0 application from OS X. Compiling for OS X, as always, would requiring porting to Carbon. The Carbon API is very similar to the classic Mac, so the same source code can be used for both, after making various fixes.adespoton wrote:This also means that any old Mac developers who still have their source code could theoretically cross-compile for OS X now!
Re: mpw for OS X !?!
So does this still require the official mpw from Apple, or a ROM, or anything else?

Re: mpw for OS X !?!
Sorry, I noticed the link to the article was broken; you had to go to the macscene post to find it. Fixed now.
Documentation available at https://github.com/ksherlock/mpw/blob/m ... EADME.text
[edit] You'll also need OS X 10.8+ and XCode, of course.
The page also links to the MPW tool download. No ROM needed though.mpw is an m68k binary translator/emulator whose sole purpose is to try and emulate enough of Classic Mac OS to run MPW’s own tools directly on OS X.
