I'm trying to implement a simple method to read new lines from a log file each time the method is called. I've looked at the various suggestions both on stackoverflow (e.g. here) and elsewhere for simulating "tail" functionality; most involve using readline() to read in new lines as they're appended to the file. It should be simple enou...
I'm porting an application to MacOS X - but the original developer's build system uses NMAKE, and ideally they'd like to keep it instead of switching to a new one. I've managed to get NMAKE running under OSX using wine (built using MacPorts) and added Objective C support to the build files, and created a Unix-linked PE wrapper 'run.exe'...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can explain why all of a sudden in Python interactive mode all arrow keys are failing? When I press up button for example to go through command history I get "^[[A". Same with any other arrow keys. I have no idea why this happened and it was working before (on OS X Snow Leopard). Does anyone know a way...
I have an OS X 10.6 Mac I'm using as my dev machine. The program I wrote works perfectly on the dev machine. However, when I tried to run it on an OS X 10.5 (not sure if that's relevant) test machine, it crashes on launch. This is the error I'm getting: Process: MyApp[25908] Path: /Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/Mac...
Let's suppose that I enter Xcode, and select File>New Project...>Cocoa Application. I'll call this new project StupidTest. Now, once the project window opens up, I can select Build>Build and Run, and the project will build and run, creating a nice blank window. Now, lets suppose that I have a library, libStupid.so, or libStupid.dylib,...
I have one or many files and/or folders selected in the Finder. I manually copy them to the clipboard/pasteboard (⌘C). To keep things simple, let's say I just copied one single normal file. The ideal solution, however, would deal with many files and a mixed selection with folders, aliases. Now that this file is on the clipboard, I want...
Hi, I am fluent in C++, Java, and Python and can pretty much pick up any other skill given enough time (no surprise there, I'm sure 99.9% of the people reading this share the same ability). I have an idea for a small app for Mac OS X and I was wondering what technology I should employ/learn to get it working. I need some minimal OS X ...
window of the desktop is rather crippled. Can't get its index. Finder windows does not include the desktop window, so I can't check that the it's the first there. index of the first Finder window is 1 regardless of the desktop having focus. (as long as other Finder windows exist, otherwise it'll fail.) ...
After starting out with Python on Ubuntu Linux, I've now for a good while been doing most of my sustained work on the Mac, currently OS X 10.6. Unfortunately I've neglected to give proper attention to how Python is installed there and ended up with: Python 2.6.1 (Mac default version?) in /usr/bin (also, 2.5.4, which I'm not sure how it...

The Qt documentation "Mac Differences" page provides the following code for accessing an application's bundle path: CFURLRef appUrlRef = CFBundleCopyBundleURL(CFBundleGetMainBundle()); CFStringRef macPath = CFURLCopyFileSystemPath(appUrlRef, kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle); const char *pathPtr = CFStringGetCStringPtr(macPath,CFStringGetSystemEnco...

Hi, i've been experiencing a weird bug for days. In my program i use a sheet attached to the main window and at random it hangs without displaying the sheet itself.

I am working on a GUI application that will be used to perform "manual assessment" of large datasets produced by an AI algorithm. The nature of the assessment isn't important to this question; only the fact that the program will need to periodically check for new data from a server, download it, and then upload the results that the user ...
Hi, for Emacs you can define your shell-mode aliases in .emacs.d/init_bash.sh, but Aquamacs (2.0 on OS X 10.5) does not seem to use this. Is there another place where these can be defined? ...
Hello, I have the following issue: In my openCV program under Mac OS X 10.5.8 when I try to open my USB camera for video it always opens the iSight built-in camera, although I explicitly set the camera number to 1 (iSight is supposed to be 0). Furthermore, choosing camera numbers of 2, 3 etc. also opens the iSight camera, although I onl...

I'm working on a Cocoa application that requires several sliders that will control the values for several "channels" of data. I would like to create the the app so that all of the channel data is stored as integers in a single array. Each slider would then be bound to a single element in the array. Is this possible at all? If so do I nee...
