Has anyone had any luck building a 'classic' Mac OS standalone with rev 2.9 (Revolution Studio for OSX, build 610)? I have tried this on a several systems (G3, G4, Intel) and under OSX 10.3.9, 10.4.11, and 10.5.2 with no luck. Every app I have built will not launch on a machine running 9.2.2 or in classic mode on OSX.

It seems to me the "standalone" run-time engine in the 2.9 IDE's runtime folder has a damaged resource fork, but no matter how I reinstall the IDE (on HFS formatted drives) it's always the same. I have posted a sample stack and app here:

Any ideas? (I have been waiting 2 years for classic support

Thanks,

Hi Rick,

Unfortunately, this is not possible. Classic is actually still unsupported. I use Rev 2.6.1 to build standalones for Classic. If you bought Rev 2.9 because of Classic support, I'd contact support with this problem.

Best regards,

Mark,
Thanks for your reply. I will follow with up with rev. support. I do have 2.6.1 and it's a real pain to mantian two versions of the code (new and legacy). Also my app uses MySQL and it works fine under the ide and the player, but I have yet to to get a 2.6.1 standalone to work correctly with the database drivers.

I understood that all 2.9 does internaly is save a legacy stack (with no error checking) and use the 2.6.1 engine for classic standones. Simple enough, but if it worked it would be a big time saver.
