Intel releases beta Mac development tools
Published: 18 Jan 2006 11:10 GMT
Intel has released betas of its software development tools for Mac OS X running on the Intel architecture. The tools were announced in August of last year, with the beta release coming immediately after Apple's launch last week of iMac and MacBook Intel computers.
The tools consist of a Fortran and C++ compilers, a maths kernel library and a performance primitives library. The tools are specifically designed to support Intel's Core Duo dual-core processor, as found in all the new Macs. The toolchain integrates into Apple's Xcode IDE, meaning the Intel compilers can be used in the production of Universal Binaries — applications packaged with code for both Power and Intel architecture machines.
