How can I install make? (I know you can get make...
Hi, I've been wondering if there is any chance to use dtrace ustack helpers on Mac OS X for python and other interpreted languages? I know that you can figure out what python and php on OpenSolaris are doing when giving the ustack some extra memory for a buffer. Is this somehow possible on Mac OS X? Regards raichoo ...
I am developing an application that needs to work on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. To that purpose, I am using C++ with Qt.

The iPhone app that I released is a wireless game controller, it translates touches on the device into key-presses on the networked Mac. This allowed for playing emulator (e.g. Nestopia) games using the iPhone as a controller. Of course, the day that I released it coincided with an os x update. After installing this update, the simula...

I have a Mono application that should not show on the dock, but will occasionally show a window. I want neither menu bar nor dock icon to show for this application.

I'm developing an OS X application to organize "things" (as iTunes is to music and iPhoto to photos). Instead of having my own database and index, I'm considering using Spotlight to essentially serve this purpose. Has anyone tried this? Is it wise? The main benefit, as I see it, would be simplicity and avoiding redundancy. It seems a b...
