It was probably more difficult than just switching to Mac OS 9 to
test it, since gcc doesn't generate PEF binaries and Mach-O binaries
won't run on Mac OS 9...
I've never attempted to use CW for building a real Cocoa application,
probably because I don't have 7.x.
CodeWarrior Pro 7 has preliminary support, but Metrowerks hasn't
switched CodeWarrior to use FSRefs instead of FSSpecs yet. Which
means there's no long filename support within CodeWarrior. Which
means to do Cocoa development with CodeWarrior, you have to change
the names of a couple header files and edit references to them in the
headers. They do have an example project, but I haven't bothered
with it since there's no way in hell I'm editing Foundation header
files.
There's also no good support for nibs, property lists, localized
files, etc. in CodeWarrior yet, which makes it annoying for Carbon
Mach-O development. It's too bad, because it has a better compiler
and I think it's a far nicer coding environment than Project Builder.
I'm hoping CodeWarrior Pro 8 has at least the long filename support,
if not the other elements necessary to do Mach-O and Cocoa
development more easily.
