Is the any way to compile carbon apps using gcc 3 in xcode 3.

Or am I stuck with xcode 2 to build for 10.2.8

Are you certain you need 10.2.8 compatibility? Very few users are still using 10.2 (indeed, so few that Steve Jobs boasted about that fact at WWDC), so the consequences of dropping 10.2 support will in most cases be minimal.

I assume that every developer considers this question carefully. There are cases where we still want to remain 10.2 compatible, especially with software where the effort to do so is minimal. That said, we keep QA for 10.2 to an absolute minimum.


Supporting an old and even outdated OS should be a careful consideration of cost and benefit. However, I believe cases exist where supporting 10.2 is a reasonable choice.
