Problem with Xcode >4 is that this is the same build farm that compiles out standalone executable which has compatibility down to Tiger, so we're stuck on Xcode 3.x versions (at least for the next 8 months or so). Superannoying, but that's what we get for making a dev tool that will target ancient systems.
Essentially, Unity is an Editor (that requires >Leopard, Intel only) which we ship with a bunch of runtimes (OSX, iOS, Win, Android (ARM/Intel, etc), PS3, XBox, Flash binary, etc.). People use the Unity editor to build a data file that these binaries know how to run. The Editor could be compiled with a later compiler, but we need our runtimes to target ancient systems as well (when to up the requirements of any version is a long debate; we're just now dropping PPC). The editor also has an embedded Runtime (so people can test their games). However, getting all these dependencies right means we've ended up with a very complex build system - so it's hard for us to "just" upgrade a single piece of the chain. Anyone have any idea how Lion checks the compiler version so I maybe can fool it? (Failing that, I'll re-implement windows resizing myself :) Thanks, Nicholas On Nov 17, 2011, at 8:04 PM, Seth Willits wrote: > On Nov 17, 2011, at 10:48 AM, Mike Abdullah wrote: > >>>> Reading the Lion release notes, it says I should create my window with >>>> NSBorderlessWindowMask | NSResizableWindowMask.
