What, really? In 2017? Explain, please!

You're deploying on 68K Macs?





Ah, interesting. I used MPW a bit, but far more THINK C and CodeWarrior "back in the day." It is interesting to me that the MPW toolchain would still be useful.


Fascinating! And you keep old Macs around to run the toolchain on?


Been using emulators for years - first classic or whatever it was called on OSX, then basilliskII/sheepshaver, and now mpw:

Here's the end of a Makefile, very unix-like:

  APPL = ${TYPE}${NAME}
  DATA = DATA${NAME}
  OBJS = ${NAME}.p.o
  LIBS = ../WordSum.asm.o ../LASysLib.a.o ../PasLib.o
  
  LANG = C
  
  MPWC = /usr/local/bin/mpw
  
  AS = Asm
  AFLAGS = 
  
  CC = SC
  CFLAGS = -mc68020 -mc68881 -b2 -Opt all 
  
  PC = Pascal
  PFLAGS = -mc68020 -mc68881
  
  LD = Link
  LDFLAGS = -w -t LApp -c MPWX -m MAIN -sg ${NAME}
  #    Link -w -t TEXT -c RWG1 -rt CODE -m HELPLOOP -sg HELPLOOP
  
  CFMFLAGS =
  # CFM = ${MPW:/mpw=/cfm}
  # CFM = /usr/local/bin/cfm
  CFM = cfm
  
  # TFTPFLAGS = -vt
  TFTPFLAGS =
  # TFTP = ${MPW:/mpw=/tftptool}
  # TFTP = /usr/local/bin/tftptool
  TFTP = tftptool
