==Writing MPW tools== MPW included a set of standard C libraries sufficient for developers to build their own MPW tools. Many Unix utilities could be ported with little change. One point of difficulty was the Mac OS [[newline]] convention, which was different from Unix. Another was the [[Path (computing)|pathname separator]], ":" in Mac OS, but many Unix utilities assumed "/". Many Unix utilities also assumed pathnames would not have embedded spaces, a common practice on Macs. For a number of years, the [[GNU toolchain]] included portability support for MPW as part of [[libiberty]]. This was used to support MPW-hosted cross-compilers used by [[General Magic]] and several other developers.
