Alternatively, you could wrap the changes you made into #ifdef OSX_10_6 ... #else ... #endif so that users could compile DMD with older Macs support from source. DMD would then be distributed with 2 binaries, e.g. dmd_10.6 and dmd_10.5 and dmd would be an alias/symlink to either of them (depending on the target platform).

Use Disk Utility to resize your current partition and create a new one. 2. Boot using your 10.5 installer DVD and install on the new partition. 3. Press option at startup to see a boot menu; open the Startup preference pane to set the default boot partition (or use bless on the command line). -- Michel Fortin michel.for...@michelf.com http://michelf.com/

I did have the 10.4 SDK installed, but apparently the upgrade deleted it because the makefiles that referred to it all broke. Yeah, it does so. Unless you check the Mac OS X 10.4 Support subpackage, which is unchecked by default, in the custom installation panel of the Xcode installer. Also, you can keep your old installations of Xcode on 10.6. I have Xcode 2.5 from Tiger, 3.0 and 3.1 from Leopard, and 3.2 from Snow Leopard running all side by side just fine on my computer. This includes both the IDE and the command line utilities. Even the old compilers and linkers work fine. Before installing a new version, I just rename the old /Developer folder to something else so the new one won't override it. It is documented to work in the Read Me file accompanying Xcode, and it does indeed work fine. -- Michel Fortin michel.for...@michelf.com http://michelf.com/

Hello Michel, Really? Can't you just partition your hard disk in two for 10.5? I'm not saying you should take the burden of testing with both, but saying you can't install 10.5 alongside 10.6 seems dubious to me: 1.

Press option at startup to see a boot menu; open the Startup preference pane to set the default boot partition (or use bless on the command line). IIRC Walter mentioned in the NG that his mac box is running as a headless box in the basement somewhere so boot switching might be annoying.
