PC, Mac Developer?

[Heathbo]

I have FileMaker 7 on the mac. Is there a way to make a pc runtime on the mac version of developer?

[transpower]

Use Virtual PC.

So does this mean one has to purchase both the PC and the Mac version of Developer?

No, they are both on the SAME Disk.

Hey guys!

I'm new to the forums and I was interested in your posting, so on that note: Would you mind elaborating on how that works, I mean do I save the runtime twice once thru OS X and once thru Vitual PC?

To answer your question yes.

To create a runtime FileMaker needs to create an executable file for each platform.

Once you have created the runtimes once you can then just bind on the Mac for any updates (as long as you keep the same binding key) as the FileMaker files the runtime creates are the same for each platform. The only difference is the executables and system files that are created.

do I save the runtime twice once thru OS X and once thru Vitual PC?

That is correct.

HTH

Cool!

I was hoping it wasn't to complicated.

Thanks for the quick reply.
