Help with Mac Porting


I may be asked to port an Adobe Photoshop plug-in from the PC to the Mac. There are so many new Mac terms I am a bit intimidated an confused.

The Apple people want developers to use XCode but XCode only creates Mach-O executables. Photoshop before CS2 used "PEF" executables.

So, the Adobe SDK suggests using Metrowerks which is suppose to be able to produce both types.

I find both Metrowerks and Xcode to be utterly useless. I would much rather have an emacs, gmake, cscope environment. I find it much more straight forward.

Can gcc and the GNU tools create a PEF executable? (I don't even know what the difference between a "PEF" and a Mach-O executable is.) I will be running on a Mac OS X (10.4) platform if that makes any difference.

Thank you,
Perry Smith
