Hey guys, I have a view that receives new data from a secondary thread. Every time it does, it should redraw itself. However, it doesn't play nice with the run loop, and after some time (it's non-deterministic), I end up getting <Error>: kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGSUnionRegionWithRect : Invalid region messages in the console. I'm not s...
I have cocoa application running on OS X. I have used NSLog for debugging purpose. Now I want to redirect the log statements to file instead of console.

I've made a screensaver which displays tables of statistics across a number of "screens" which it fades between. I've used only CALayers and implicit animation, but even so the animation is jerky at best; rather than a smooth transition there are 3 "jumps" between screens, one at ~5%, one at ~30%, then 100%. Running top in a terminal fr...
Morning SO. I would like to compile openCV to make it work on a webcam capture using Qt 4.7. For that purpose, OpenCV must be compiled for a 64bit system.

It is not possible for me to add an extension to the file, so my only other option in Snow Leopard is the NSFileHFSTypeCode. I have reviewed all of the codes registered on my machine using http://www.rub...
Business as usual: I've logged into my Linux machine from my MacBook Pro using NX, opened a terminal, and ... key bindings with M- (Meta-) do not work. (Talking about bash, of course.) Wait for it. I'm using a PC keyboard hooked up to my Mac (I cannot work on a cramped laptop keyboard). So I decided to investigate: used xev to capture ev...
I recently switched to a macbook. I miss the right control key and my little finger started to ache and thus I mapped my Cmd to Ctrl inside emacs alone and I've mapped Caps to Ctrl and Ctrl to Caps system-wide. Does anyone have a better config before I get used to this ? What is yours? I'm particularly interested in the keyboard mapping...
Hi, I normally program on Windows, but I got a macbook pro from my school, so I'm trying to make an OpenGL app for OSX. I downloaded and installed XCode, but I have no clue how to get a simple OpenGL app going. I would prefer not to use Objective-C, but I definitely don't want to use GLUT. Can someone point me in the right direction? ...
I've got a super simple little OS X app with a minimal embedded webkit view that needs client-side SQL database support enabled. I've put the test app up on github but just can't get the client-side storage working.

I have a product for which I invoke "strip" upon the executable at the very last step of build. The executable is linked statically with several static libraries (not third-party, all written by our team). When the product is crashed, the function names from some static libraries still appear in the crash logs, while the names from some...

Hi, I have started with Ruby app development and I see that there are many Ruby Gems which don't work on 64bit (which I have installed right now). Their moderators have suggested to use 32bit build for Snow Leopard(10.6). I went to Ruby's website, but didn't find a separate installer for Ruby 1.9.2 for 32bit 10.6 So, how do I fix it? ...
I want to address the following annoyance with iTunes: After I have searched for a track (by pressing cmd+opt+f to move to the search field) I want to be able to play the first track in the songs list. Ideally I would like cmd+enter to start playing the first track in the song list and also move the focus to the song list. For example ...
