I need, anyway, to use VS2010 so i think to install Sun Virtual Box (i've used and i like it) to run Windows7 with Visual Studio 2010 and SqlExpress2008. Have you tried it? How many RAM GBs should i reserve to Windo...
Example: If I had two entities Person and Car, and each of them should be linked with an Image entity - how would this have to look like? Right now, I would make just three Entities: Person, Car, Image. So persons and cars can link to an Image entity. They have a 1:1 relationship to the Image entity. But now, a Core Data dude said that...
Hoookay, So I know I'm about to get a dozen "load the lib dummy" answers to this, but here goes... junk.framework is exporting some objects of another project (junk.app) so I can use it on a remote.app node on a cluster. I can compile junk.framework (which I realize means nothing anymore with dynamic loading) and compile and link remo...
Hi all I'd like to get into some mac os x systems programming and wondered, although mac os x is a Mach and bsd hybrid, would a bsd programming book suffice since I can't seem to find any books on mac os x systems level coding (or mac os x architecture)?

I'm writing a Java program that will be used on both Windows and Mac. In the program, I'm using FFMPEG to convert a MOV file to an FLV. On Windows, it's no problem -- simply call the command. But on Mac, I'm not quite sure what to do. Does the user really have to install FFMPEG on their machine, or can it somehow be included in the Java ...
I had a bookmark which described the process on how to do this - finding the name of a mounted CD in OS X - but I deleted the bookmark when I reformatted my Mac. :P Reading up on the subject, this is what I think might work. Basically, I need to verify if a particular CD is mounted before continuing in the application Access NSWorksp...

I'm a total newbie to programming in coca for the mac so this question is probably easy. I have a window, and on that window I have a Label. I want to be able to update this label from my program with the current status or what's going on (eg. reading in file, parsing, etc.). My problem is that I don't know how to access the label a...
So I'm designing a myspace page and I have two images, one is a repeating bg image, and another is an image which loads on a layer above it, which acts as a header/masthead. For some reason, on Macs only, and only in the browser (tested in safari and ff), the masthead renders slightly darker than the repeating bg image, creating this co...

Hey everybody, I am trying to add a vlc:// helper protocol on Mac OS X. To register the protocol, I have unsuccessfully been playing around with the MoreInternet PrefPane. What I want to have in my browser is a vlc://someressource.com/audio.mp3, which should launch VLC and add http://someressource.com/audio.mp3 to the playlist (this wo...
How can I obtain an array with uid and names? I could iterate from 0 to 99999 and do a getpwnam(). However most machines have less than 5 accounts, so it's not optimal. I don't know what framework is responsible for this and thus I have no clue what to search for. Is there a more optimal solution that can traverse the accounts? Edit:...
Hi all, I rather cleverly (or not in hindsight) installed RVM, which kept hanging whilst compiling Rubies. I have removed the .rvm directory but now my system has reverted to Ruby 1.8.7 i.e. when I type: ruby -v which ruby they both point to 1.8.7. How do I get the ruby command to point to my 1.9.1 installation, which is located in...
Qt is a nice framework which allows people to develop something once and it will works for the 3 main OSes.

I've been banging my head on an issue and before I continue injuring myself some more, I'd like to confirm: Is it possible to have a GCC project that uses libraries that are compiled with and without RTTI? So, for example, I have project A (compiled without RTTI) that uses library B (compiled with RTTI) and library C (compiled withou...

I'm using Xcode 3.2.2 and the built in OCUnit test stuff. One problem I'm running into is that every time I do a build my unit tests are run, even if the build failed. Let's say I make a syntax error in one of my tests. The test fails to compile and the last successful compilation of the unit tests are run. The same thing happens if ...
