How can I get emacs 23 working nicely in multi-tty mode on OS X? I've added (server-start) to my .emacs, and have discovered that running /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -n ~/myfile.txt will open it in my emacs.app, but it doesn't bring emacs to the front. So, how can I get emacs.app to come to the front when I r...
I have a strange problem with opencv running on an Ubuntu. I installed OpenCV from the apt sources. And most of the Examples work fine. But in my programs, which are working with Mac OS, no windows are created. The following code is showing a window and an image in this on my Mac but not on my Ubuntu powered machine import time from o...
I'm trying to iron out some UI rendering bugs in my java applet in OS X, and I've hit one that I can't figure out. All the windows that we open that extend java.awt.Frame seem to ignore the setBackground() calls, and instead use the OS X default (brushed metal or gray gradient, depending on the OS version). Anything we open that extend...
I am very used to using ctrl+a, ctrl+e, ctrl+l, etc. as shortcuts to operations (beginning of line, end of line, clear terminal, etc). I cannot for the life of me get this working with either Terminal.app or iTerm on OS 10.5. I know for a fact that it works in Tiger and I even know some other Leopard users who don't have any problems, b...

With the MacBook Trackpad I can scroll documents by using two fingers or zoom into the screen with two fingers and Ctrl pressed. What could be very useful is to move the currently active window with a similar gesture (3 fingers, or 2 fingers + modifier key). Is there an existing tool, script that allows this behaviour? If not, would th...
Hello. I have this WxWidgets test source code that compiles, and when run, it shows a simple frame: /* * hworld.cpp * Hello world sample by Robert Roebling */ #include "wx-2.8/wx/wx.h" class MyApp: public wxApp { virtual bool OnInit(); }; class MyFrame: public wxFrame { public: MyFrame(const wxString& title, const wxPoin...

We're trying to port a commercial SDK software from Linux to Mac OS X and we're running into the problem that ld on Mac OS X does not support the --exclude-libs switch which we use on the linux side. We are linking in static libraries, object files to create a shared library. We want to only expose symbols marked with: #define EXPORT_...
I have a custom-built USB CDC device. If I plug it into a Windows box (2k, XP, Vista), up pops the Found New Hardware Wizard and I can point it at my .inf file, which supplies a mapping from the USB VID and PID to the USB driver (in this case the inbuilt usbser.sys). Then it appears as a virtual COM port and I can set up dial-up networki...

I am looking for a way to add a timeout to a CFHTTP request. It seems like there should be a feature of the CFHTTPMessage or the CFReadStream object, but I can't find it. Do I have to roll my own timer on the run loop or something? (if so, any code for this?) Thanks! ...

What would be the recommended method to create a "table" like display (columns, rows, header and footer) using core-animation, which I can "build" using animations? I've got my data to hand in an NSDictionary and I've started laying things out, but I feel I'm probably not doing it optimally; I'm creating nested sets of CALayers and wor...
