Although I'm an experienced C programmer, I'm new to Macs & need some
guidance...
Problem:
I've written a straight-forward program that opens a main window,
displays letters randomly via DrawString()'s, prompts for users'
responses via 3 dialog boxes with buttons & editable text, & displays
some output on the main window at the end.
This program runs perfectly in the Think C (Ver. 3.0) programming
environment, but when I use "Build Application" to make the program a
stand-alone application, it bombs when I try to invoke the stand-alone
application. The program begins to load & before the initial start-up
screen appears, I get the famous bomb with ID = 10. Looking in Macintosh
Revealed Vol. II, ID = 10 is " f emulator trap".
I called Think C tech support & they couldn't offer any assistance. I
have a Mac SE w/ 1 MB RAM & the finder so I can't run their debugger to
help. I have a copy of MacsBug (ver. 5.5), but it just displays
assembler output which is not my area of expertise. When MacsBug takes
over when the program bombs, it is at the instruction: MOVE.W D6,D7 of
which there are a bunch of these same instructions. This leads me to
think that an illegal jump has been made.
Can anybody offer some assistance? What is ID=10? How can I use
MacsBug to figure out what's wrong? Is Think C Ver. 3.0 troublesome in
this regard?
Please send e-mail. If there is considerable interest, I will summarize
& post.
Thanks in advance,
-Jim
