Help writing a DVB driver for OS X

I'm looking at options to access DVB data on OS X. Initially I want to support the EyeTV DTT USB device, but in the long-run I'd like to support a number of popular devices.

Mac solution for "safe" alternatives to "unsafe" C/C++ Standard Library functions?

What's the best one-stop-shop "safe" C library solution on the Mac? I use quotes on "safe"/"unsafe" because there is much debate as to the benefits of certain Standard Library functions or their putatively improved alternatives. Many traditional Standard C Library functions (e.g., vfprintf) are considered to be unsafe due to the potent...

Is there an OS X equivalent of FreeBSD's make_dev() function?

I'm trying to port some code from FreeBSD to OS X. The code is fairly low-level and it creates a number of special device files using make_dev() and controls functionality using functions like ioctl().

Deploying Mono Apps on MacOS

I have an app that was developed for Windows but runs fine on MacOS under mono without any modifications (yay!). However, since it's an exectutable, OSX doesn't recognize it as a native file type, meaning you have to drop to the command line to run 'mono appname.exe'. It also doesn't show the application icon. In case it matters, my t...

How can I test-drive IOKit userspace driver development?

I'm about to attempt to write a USB driver for my application on OS X using IOKit. I've opted for the userspace route rather than developing a kext since it's so much easier to debug etc, but I'm having trouble working out how I could possibly test-drive my development.

Found Mylyn as a very good task manager that supports Trac and Gmail Task. I've seen Tasktop, but looking for something with smaller memory footprint that I could always run in background.

Is there a Snow Leopard compatible "sudden motion sensor" API available?

I have been using Unimotion in my application to read motion sensor values for Apple laptops, but have been unable to port the code to 10.6 64-bit.
