Both plugins support the following targets.

Windows

 

Note that Linux and Mach-O targets may not be supported by older versions of REALbasic.

 

The FrontBase Plugin(C).rbx also includes,

 

OS9/OSX Mac Carbon (PEF)

 

This allows Carbon applications to be built which will run on both OS9 and OSX.

 

The FrontBase Plugin(N).rbx also includes,

 

OSX Mac Carbon (PEF)

 

This allows Carbon applications to be built which will run native on OSX (PPC) only. Use this if your version of RB does not support Mach-O builds and you are targeting OSX only.

 

Note that OSX PEF and Mach-O PPC applications will run under Rosetta on Intel machines.

 

The "FrontBase Plugin" document contains instructions for installing and using the FrontBase Plugin.
