Hi, From shell script, I would like to create the empty 'Icon\r' file for a Mac OS X disk image (dmg), so as the .VolumeIcon.icns icon file is taken into account by the finder; the damn '\r' character is not accepted from the console: touch Icon\r ls Icon* > Iconr and other things happen when trying to type 'Icon\r', "Icon\r" etc., ...
I'm having trouble setting Subversion's root folder for repositories. The path has gotten pretty long and I'd like to shorten it to "/". We currently access Subversion from clients via: svn+ssh://server.domain.com/Library/Subversion/Repositories/project/trunk and would like to shorten URL to: svn+ssh://server.domain.com/project/trun...

In Console, the associated message: USB Notificaton: The device "EHCI Root Hu...
For some reason, when I run the my installer it sets each file's owner to root group to wheel, and permissions mask to 700. I have checked that the permissions and owner of the files in files (which I build the installer from via the --root parameter) are set to the current user and 755. I also tried adding the --no-recommend flag, but ...

When I run my program using mpirun -np 8 ./test, every process reports that it has rank 0, and believes the total number of processes to be 1, and 8 lines of process rank: 0, total processes: 1 g...
Hi all, I'm going crazy trying to find a FOSS free (doesn't have to be open source) ODBC driver to connect to an MS SQL Server. While it doesn't strictly have to be free (which is a huge plus, for obvious reasons), the drivers I have found haven't had an easy to find price tag. Does anyone know of any preferably free, and if not free, t...
I am trying to develop a simple menu bar application that would let me visualize the charging status of my attached iPhone/iPad without having to launch iTunes. After a long search, I am unable to conclude if this is a possibility with the Snow Leopard APIs. My search has led me to a service running at boot time called com.apple.ipodse...

Hi, for some reason I'm not getting the padlock/green bar/whatever on my site, but ONLY using Safari for Mac. Firefox (win/mac), Chrome (win/mac), Safari (win), Opera (win/mac), IE (6/7/8) all work as they should. Is this a bug? Something I should worry about (credit cards, etc will be sent over this server)? ...

Yes, I know, WebKit uses a separate 32-bit process to play Flash and communicate with it. But how does Flash draw in a browser? In Mac OS X you cannot draw on a foreign window or reparent your one. So if the Flash player hosts in another process, how can it obtain the browser window's context (CGContextRef) and be drawn in it? ...
I have a pretty basic X11 app that I run on Linux that I'm trying to get compiled under OSX 10.5.8. I have X11 and the X11 SDK installed, and modified the makefile as follows: CFLAGS = -L/usr/X11/lib -I/usr/X11/include Everything compiles fine, but the linker can't find the X11 lib. ld: library not found for -lX11 I've looked on goog...
This works fine when I run it by hand: #!/bin/bash eval `ssh-agent` ssh-add /usr/bin/scp me@server:~/file ./ exit 0 However, when the cron runs the file is never touched. I know the ssh keys are right - replace that scp with an ssh and it runs fine. ...

Hey, I'm not even sure where to begin with this question... I want to be able to send mouse-click events to another machine, as if the user had clicked on that machine. I can do it on the same machine via: CGEventSourceRef source = CGEventSourceCreate(NULL); CGEventType eventType = kCGEventLeftMouseDragged; CGPoint mouseCursorPosi...
I find myself in a unique scenario -- it has to be, because no searching I do seems to turn up any answers. But maybe there's a MacOS X guru out there that can answer this for me? I'm using PackageMaker to create an install process for my company's application. It's a cross-platform app and my home base is Linux and Windows, so please...
