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!
