Re: New G5 under Panther or XCode 1.5 under Tiger

Despite the fact that it is simply incredible that a new Hardware does not run an OS that only tow weeks behind the latest version in my special environment it seems as if (at least for the moment) we would not be able to build our application under XCode 2.0 because of problems in XCode 2.0 and at the same time I'm neither able to run XCode 1.5 under Tiger nor to install Panther on my new G5.
 
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 runs Panther.

Almost every new Mac model from the 512K (early 1985) to last week's new machines has had new chips that require new firmware and some changes to the OS.  In general, only the current shipping major OS version is qualified on any new CPU release.  For a while we shipped Macs that ran both the newest Mac OS 9 and the newest Mac OS X, but in general you should expect that new hardware will not necessarily run older operating systems.

We understand how troublesome it is that developer tools are bound to the OS version.  This is a big tangle to resolve but we are working on it.  

If you have problems with Xcode 2.0 please report them and we'll try to address them.  We've brought over thousands of projects from Xcode 1.5 to 2.0.  Note that by using gcc3.3 and the 10.3.0 SDK you should be able to cross-develop from Xcode 2.0 to Panther systems.

If you need to qualify your application on a variety of hardware and software configurations, you can use the ADC Compatibility Lab.  See http://developer.apple.com/labs/index.html for details.
