System 6 development and CodeWarrior

[atommclain]

If I want to develop an application that targets System 6 what version of CodeWarrior should I be using ?

I have an old open source which was originally targeted for MacOS 7+ that makes a lot of C library calls (fcntl, etc) that I would like to get running on System 6. I have been noodling around with CodeWarrior Pro 6 which has the source available for its C library and you can compile it yourself. But one thing I've noticed is that I'm pretty sure it doesn't support System 6 since it makes Toolbox calls that are not available on System 6 and causes crashes.

Thanks!

Check out @David Cook 's thread on coding all the way down to System 1 on CW.

I like CW & it's more popular on the 68kmla, but personally I'd use THINK C for System 6 coding, because it's a simpler environment.
