Moving Carbon project to later Xcode

I'm trying to dig up and work on an old carbon application. Using Xcode 4.3.3, I find that Carbon.r is missing in the project. Even when I target Mac OS 10.6 rather than 10.7, as suggested by Xcode 4.3 can't find Carbon libs on 10.7

I suspect support is there, I just can't see how to "engage" it. or is 4.3.3 too late a version?

What is the latest version of Xcode that has support for Carbon? I'll boot back to an old MacOS if necessary to make this work.

There are degrees of support for Carbon. I'm using Xcode 4.6.3 under Lion for a partly-Carbon app, but I had to make a couple of adjustments:

  1. I can't edit Carbon nibs with the version of Interface Builder built into Xcode, and the old separate version won't run under Lion. I have Snow Leopard Server running under VMWare Fusion to edit my nibs.

  2. I'm using the OS 10.6 SDK, which does not come with this version of Xcode. So, I opened up the Xcode app package, and in the Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs subfolder, I added a symbolic link to the 10.6 SDK living in a copy of Xcode 3.2.6.
