I have made a utility program for previewing the effects of different icon adjusts on a graphic. Unfortunately, when I compile it, the compiled application will only run on the computer it was compiled on. The program itself is a Mac OS X Carbon program, made in XCode. Can anyone recommend what do do to fix it?

First I want to say i've absolutely no expertise in this stuff.

The second thing I want to say is that I suggest maybe using an other program like (was it called) codewarrior.

The 3D editor is good enough for this already. Except it seems to round out colors to the closest ones on the BoA pallete, which if demonstrations are correct, BoA does not do...

Tell me Niemand, does it display the graphics exactly as they show up in BoA?

It displays them exactly as they appear in the 3D Editor, which is supposed to display them as they appear in the game. (I really don't know anything about that issue.) In fact, it literally uses the 3D Editor's graphics tinting function. Basically what the program does is let you select a sheet, then an icon from the sheet, and shows you what each of the 1024 possible adjusted versions looks like. I made it so that I can pick out the best ones, and compare them side by side.

According to Isaac, the tinting code was obtained directly from Jeff so it most likely is not at fault. What you may be noticing is BoA's lighting engine, which the editor does not mimic.

Are you sure there aren't stray files somewhere which are needed by the program (i.e.: something in the System or Library folders)?

As far as I know it references no files other than those bundled with it; I made it and all of the files involved except the standard carbon libraries. I even tried taking off the custom icon because I thought that this might be the problem.

Edit: fixed dumb mistake

I suggest taking your Carbon program and compressing it rather thoroughly. Eventually it will turn into a Diamond program, which should be easier to use.

Unfortunately I've tried compressing it already and all I get is an archive. I guess I need heavier duty compression software to make one of those Diamond programs. Drat!

You could always just compress it down to something like
int main()
{
return true;
}
and call it good. Enough of a diamond for me. ;)

Ben: return 0 would be better.

Topic starter: It won't run on OS 9, no matter what, with XCode. If it won't run on other OS X computers, try making sure that you have set the build style to "deployment".

But that would be false. You obviously want to return true so you know that this once-awesome program has completed successfully, instead of just completed. ;) Or, if a little decompaction is allowed, you could go:
int main()
{
bool return_value = true;
bool success = return_value;
if(success)
{
cout<<"A true diamond of a program!";
}
else
{
cout<<"Darn, failed :(";
}
return 0;
}

Returning 0 does mean success. Returning nonzero (such as true) means failure.

Yeah, I suppose you're right as far as most applications go.

Ok, I give up; how do I set the build style? I've looked everywhere I can think of, and I can't find it.

EDIT: Ok, never mind; after searching for 2 days I found it myself.
