why can't RunRev use the last CodeWarrior version to build Rev 2.7 for OS9?
Probably because they used to use CW for everything, saw the
change coming, and moved to *something else* to cover the most used
platforms. This could involve a lot of customization of libraries and
rewriting glue code.
Cross-platform engine building is not a trivial task. There's a lot
to 'hook up'.
I would guess that the *something else* they make the engine
with now would be an expandable, robust team-oriented system with
modules to create code for different platforms/processors. I'm
figuring that the OS9 module for *something else* was not available
at the time they switched systems, and got the module late or had one
developed.
In order to efficiently make and market a cross-platform
product such as Rev, feature synchronization is very important. I've
noticed there don't seem to be too many platform-specific problems
lately - the problems seem to track over the Mac/PC void.
Using the OLD CodeWarrior now would be a maintenance
nightmare. The Rev team need that "write once, use anywhere" thing
too.

Mark,
why can't RunRev use the last CodeWarrior version to build Rev 2.7
for OS9? I am sure they bought the last CodeWarrior version for OS9
before the cancellation by Freescale. Is there any reason why they
can't use that version?
Cheers
andre
