June 28, 200322 yr I was wondering if i could ask a question about a solution i have. I developed a solution on the Windows platform and i wanna create a Mac version. Can i run my solution through Developer tool in Windows and send it to someone on a Mac platform? And if i can, what program would you recommend to make the installer file? Thanks for any help you can give me. Filemaker Dev. 6 Windows XP Pro
June 29, 200322 yr You have to "bind" runtimes on their own platform. And there are 2 Mac platforms now; OS X runtimes require a separate operation. But people with OS X can still open an OS 9 or previous runtime (because they have both OS's on one computer), so that's not much of a concern. I imagine your Developer CD has all platform versions on it. Isn't that true? My version 5 did anyway (not OS X; it wasn't out yet). So you basically have to find a Macintosh computer.
June 29, 200322 yr Author Thanks for your response. Is there any type of emulator i can get that will help me out with this? I was reading about Connectix Virtual PC 5.2 but i dont think it emulates Mac OS. Are there any others out there that you know about? Thanks.
June 29, 200322 yr You can get Basilisk II which emulates pre-PCC Macs on PC, I believe up to 8.1 MacOS. http://www.uni-mainz.de/~bauec002/B2Main.html Virtual PC emulates PC on Mac.
