G’day
I’ve written a nice little App on my Leopard intel iMac, but it won’t run on my friends intel power mac with Tiger.
I’ve built it under PPC architecture as well, but still no success.
Is there anything I should do to make it compatible, or am I wasting my time?
Regards
Santa
Hey Santa,
Perhaps some of the interface items you added were Leopard only?
Try this, in Interface Builder, open your .nib file(s) and for each of them, at the top in the toolbar you should see an “i” info button. Click on this button (at least I have one in XCode 3.1) and it will give you a “Deployment Target” pop up menu. There choose the target OS you want to be the minimum for your program to run. If you have an NSToolbar, for example, it will tell you, in all target OSes below 10.5 that “Class Unavailable” and things like missing attributes.
Perhaps that will give you more information. Let us know what you find out!
Best,
K. M. Lawson
Thanks km. I did that and everything seemed OK.
I downloaded Studio 2.5 last night and re-built the app from the ground up.
Unfortunately I’ve struck a problem. The part of my script that successfully addresses illustrator in leopard bombs in 2.5 during compilation.
The offending lines are commented out in the following script. Can anyone tell me please what to change them to?

Hi Santa,
this doesn’t solve your problem, but the coercion police tells you to omit all useless text coercions 
set theInitials to (content of text field "Initials" of window 1) & " " & (content of text field "String" of window 1) -- contents of a text field IS textkeystroke tempName -- keystrokes ARE textset savePath to FilePath & tempName & ".EPS" -- I guess FilePath is also text alreadyG’day all
I started paring down the App by removing successive types of objects, and in the end ended up with a blank window without any attached script. It still flickers onto the screen, then disappears. Won’t mount at all.
I’m seeing in my Apps info window that it’s a universal App, so the build must be set OK.
Is there anything obvious as a newbie to Studio that I might have overlooked, or would the problem lie with the other end (an intel power mac running Tiger). What should he have installed to run the Studio App?
Any thoughts welcome
Regards
Santa

They’ve just sent the crash log. I don’t understand it, but one of you might be able to help out. TIA
