Re: New G5 under Panther or XCode 1.5 under Tiger

Is this really possible or am I just to stupid to understand the big picture
Apple has in mind? In my case I now have to return my new G5 and try to buy
an older G5 that still run's Panther.

as an apple developr, personally i think this policy of apples' is ridiculous - cross-compiling for earlier OS/XCode releases is actually pretty difficult; i gave up trying to manage the administration of the XCode tools (lets see, first a gcc_select, install more SDK's, set SDK->10.1, Target settings->10.1... ermm...) and ended up just buying a MiniMac and putting multiple partitions on it - one for each OSX release I had to support, each with their own build tools (Xcode) installed locally.

not being able to run OSX10.1 on a new G5, i'd be pretty miffed .. how are developers supposed to be able to -really- test their releases for earlier Apple OS's? please don't tell me 'buy a mini-mac', i did that already, and i don't like having to! should i start writing code for microsoft again?!

honest apple, this policy is dumb. at least for developers. please give us a way to run your 'aging OS releases' on the newer hardware, for the sake of testing!
