I'm trying to create a universal iPhone app, but it uses a class defined only in a newer version of the SDK. The framework exists on older systems, but a class defined in the framework doesn't. I know I want to use some kind of weak linking, but any documentation I can find talks about runtime checks for function existence - how do I ch...

So I went ahead an installed xapian-core and xapian-bindings using macports. Then I tried to run the python application again, but got the same traceback. Any ideas about what I should...
I'm writing a command-line tool for Mac OS X that processes a bunch of files. I would like to show the user the current file being processed, but do not want a bazillion files polluting the terminal window. Instead I would like to use a single line to output the file path, then reuse that line for the next file. Is there a character (or...

I have some proxy settings that I only occasionally want to turn on, so I don't want to put them in my ~/.bash_profile. I tried putting them directly in ~/bin/set_proxy_env.sh, adding ~/bin to my PATH, and chmod +xing the script but though the script runs, the variables don't stick in my shell. Does anyone know how to get them to stick a...

If I execute the following line I get version 2.6.1: Applescript: do shell script "python -c \"from sys import version; print version\"" But if I execute the similar line in the OS X termi...
Hi all, I'm trying to port a MacOSX app to windows and I've come up against a problem around getifaddrs. Basically windows does not support it. I'm trying to figure a way to re-implement it (for AF_INET and AF_INET6) but the "equivalent" functionality on windows appears to be nothing like the MacOSX support. Has someone done this sor...
In my application I have a NSWindow with some drawing which is quickly changing (i.e. animation or video). Also I have another application, emulated via X11, which created GtkWindow. How can I copy all the drawings from the first Cocoa window to the second Gtk one in real-time? Or, let me better divide the question on two parts: How...

I want to create a replacement for the app switcher (aka 'cmd + tab'). I know that it's possible because Lite Switch X does it. What I've got achieved so far: By force quitting the dock and calling CPSRegisterForKey() (which is a private API function) I can prevent the default cmd+tab from working. The second step is two register the...

Some devices have a WiFi access point and so the software sets up the user's Mac so it can connect to it wirelessly as well. This all works fine on Mac OS X 10.4.x to 10.6.x (the latter via CoreWLAN framework now). Once. The problem is that t...
