Codewarrior 8 for Mac: trouble in installation

I am trying to install Codewarrior 8 for Mac OS X (10.3.4) and the program
exits abnormally. I read in the instructions that you can do a manual
installation by copying certain directories from the CD-ROM to hard disk.
Although this works, it is impossible to do the 8.1 (or any other 8.x)
update. Is there a solution?

Best solution is wait for CW 10 but in the mean time. (read the whole
thing)

Get the XCode Tools CD, reinstall it, choose the optional packages and
there is a 10.2.8 SDK install that, you can do this even after doing
the original installation.

In CodeWarrior 8.3 global Preferences...
change your Source Tree for OS X Volume
from
/
to
/Developers/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.7SDK/

If you want to stop here you can if you have already updated to 8.3 on
10.2

But I recommend that you re-precompile the Mach-O precompiled headers .
Open the BuildMacOSXSupport.mcp
in
Metrowerks CodeWarrior 8.0
/Metrowerks CodeWarrior
/MSL/(MSL_Build_Projects)
/OS X

and build all in that.


But to rebuild the libraries...

Then... this is an unofficial and non-supported fix. Since it involves
changing Apple's header

In Apple's Limits.h
in /Developers/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.7SDK/usr/include/ppc/limits.h

Change

#ifndef _PPC_LIMITS_H_
#define _PPC_LIMITS_H_

#define CHAR_BIT 8 /* number of bits in a char */
#define MB_LEN_MAX 6 /* Allow 31 bit UTF2 */


#define CLK_TCK 100 /* ticks per second */

to


#ifndef _PPC_LIMITS_H_
#define _PPC_LIMITS_H_

#define CLK_TCK 100 /* ticks per second */

#if !_MSL_USING_MW_C_HEADERS

#define CHAR_BIT 8 /* number of bits in a char */
#define MB_LEN_MAX 6 /* Allow 31 bit UTF2 */


At the end of the file add
#endif /* _MSL_USING_MW_C_HEADERS */
before
#endif /* _PPC_LIMITS_H_ */

Rebuild the precompiled headers and rebuild the MSL Mac OS X libraries
Open the Build.MacOSX.mcp
in
Metrowerks CodeWarrior 8.0
/Metrowerks CodeWarrior
/MSL/(MSL_Build_Projects)
/OS X

You should be OK

Still on CW 8.3. When I added in XCode to the
mix my CW 8.3 projects started to give compile errors. I've localized
my problems to 2 areas (YMMV).

1) For BSD socket code I needed to add:

# if defined(__MWERKS__) && !defined(_BSD_SOCKLEN_T_)
# define _BSD_SOCKLEN_T_ int32_t
# endif /* defined(__MWERKS__) && !defined(_BSD_SOCKLEN_T_) */

just before my

#include <sys/socket.h>

The code in <ppc/ansi.h> that was meant to do this does not seem to get
compiled in.


2) unistd.h gave errors on line 129, 130, and 209 until I added


#if defined(__MWERKS__)
# if !defined(__dead2)
# define __dead2
# endif /* !defined(__dead2) */
# if !defined(__pure2)
# define __pure2
# endif /* !defined(__pure2) */
#endif /* defined(__MWERKS__) */

to my main header (".h") file.

I'm now back in business. Hope this helps.
