A friend develops a professional app, written in Pascal. He's
brilliant enough to have fully carbonized, but he doesn't use Xcode.
Is it going to be possible to move his Pascal app to compile in Xcode,
in preparation for the needed Universal Binary?
Moving to Xcode isn't strictly a requirement for building a universal
binary. All you need to create a universal binary is a PowerPC Mach-O
executable and an Intel Mach-O executable. You pass them to the
command-line 'lipo' tool and it spits out a universal binary. See the
'lipo' man page for details.
Xcode makes all of this a lot easier for you because it handles the
separate compiler and linker invocations and does the lipo'ing for you,
but you could even build the PowerPC side with CodeWarrior, build the
Intel side with Xcode, and run lipo on your own to put the result
together. We don't recommend that because it's a lot more complicated
to maintain, but it'll work.
