Colonel Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 First off, this is in the wrong section. It should be in Mac Development. Second, you would use Xcode to build your apps. http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xcode/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I'm not as mean as the previous poster (love ya), but XCode is the first and only stop in building "Universal" applications that will run under Intel and PowerPC (PPC) processors. It's also the only way to go in making processor intensive applications for Mactels. IF (and this could be a big if) the application you want to make isn't something processor intensive (or you just want to do PPC apps), then your options widen. You can utilize CodeWarrior, XCode (any flavor of XCode, not just the current version), or even REALBasic (which will even build Windows apps too for cross platform compatibility). The magic happens behind the scenes using Rosetta, which allows PowerPC apps (which all three of those programs make) to run using Rosetta, which translates between PPC code and Intel code on the fly.
