Hello, everybody.
I have been working hard over the last few days to develop my first application for Mac using Lazarus 0.9.30.4 and Xcode 4.3.1.
In another thread in this Forum, I discussed compatibility problems trying to understand if my app could be compatible with OS X 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6. Unfortunately, I still don't know the answer.
Apple say that compiling with Xcode 4.3.1 guarantees backwards compatibility on condition that the application does not contain any references to new libraries. On the contrary, other developers believe that under no circumstances can you run an application under OS X 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 if it was compiled with Xcode 4.3.1.
Now, I have just finished to develop my first Mac application and put it on my Italian Web site.
I decided not to use the following reference to macosx_version_min:
-k-macosx_version_min -k10.6
-XR/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk
in the Project Option because I was afraid this code could prevent my app from working under Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5, provided that what Apple say is true.
The reason for this post of mine is to ask those of you who are willing to help me and have access to Mac machines running under OS X 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 to test my app under those versions of OS X.
I am aware I am probably asking too much but I am desperate because where I live nobody can help me. The few Mac users I know have already upgraded to Lion.
Please consider that I have not used an installation package. All you should do is download the zip file, explode it and double click on the app to see whether it runs or not.
This is the link that you can use to download my app:
