My app is in development and I do all my testing using WEBrick (I like the terminal output). On the production server it will run on Phusion Passenger. I'm running Snow Leopard and wish to test the app in an environment similar to the production environment. Can I use Parallels to run a Debian install with Apache and Passenger and con...
Is there a way to get any kind of thread identifier of the currently running thread without resorting to Objective-C's NSThread. I'm improving our custom debug tracing system to handle multiple threads properly. For each line of trace output, I'd like to print a thread id or a thread name. Threads are instantiated in various ways, e.g....
I'm writing code to read in a 7x15 block of text in a file that will represent a 'maze'. #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> #include "board.h" int main() { char charBoard[7][15]; //the array we will use to scan the maze and modify it ifstream loadMaze("maze"); //the fstream we will use to take in a maze...
Hi, I need Java5 (not 6), but Snow Leopard comes with only Java6. There is /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5, but that just points to 1.6.0: $ ls -la /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Sep 24 20:12 1.3 -> 1.3.1 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Jul 21 07:35 1.3....
I have a problem with JTextField.requestFocus() behavior that appears to be different on Mac OS X. Here is my situation: I have a dialog with a JList and a JTextField. The user is supposed to write a boolean expression in the text field, and the list contains the names of all the variables that might be entered in the expression. Becau...
In my app I'm using Apple's hdiutil command line utility to create compressed disk images (DMGs) of folders/volumes. Is there any way to calculate the compressed size of a given source path? I've already checked in the man pages, nothing there. ...
Hi StackO, Long time fan, first time posting. Hi! Anyone notice slowness from a django dev server running on Mac OS and connecting to a remote (postgres) db? It doesn't seem to be the DNS problem referenced elsewhere. We've got a staging instance running the exact same code on the same remote staging box that's hosting the db, and the ...
I have a remote server I manage via command line on Snow Leopard. I ssh into it, etc. All of my ssh keys are setup, and I have configured a local alias that lets me login with one command. What I'd also like to do is be able to connect to it via ssh, but have it mounted locally as a remote drive. I've tried the Connect to Server, comman...

The "Base SDK" for my Xcode project is set to "Mac OS X 10.5". The "Valid Architectures" for my Xcode project is set to "i386 ppc ppc64 ppc7400 ppc970 ...
I'm using Ruby's CSV library to parse some CSV. I have a seemingly well-formed CSV file that I created by exporting an Excel file as CSV. However CSV.open(filename, 'r') causes a CSV::IllegalFormatError. There are no rogue commas or quotation marks in the file, nor anything else that I can see that might cause problems. I suspect the...
I want to ship a single 32/64-bit universal binary of my desktop Mac OS X Cocoa app. I don't want to ship two versions. I want it to run as a 64-bit process on Snow Leopard. However, if the app is launched on Leopard, I want to always force it to run as a 32-bit process. NOTE: I know that in the Finder 'Get Info' window you can click ...
I'm new to Mac having just got one after working with Ubuntu Linux for some time. Among the many things I'm trying to figure out is absence of colors in my the terminal window - like the ones that are shown (on linux) when you run 'ls -la' or 'git status'... I just can't figure out how to activate them in the actual shell. ...
I wish to write a utility to auto-hide the menu bar, much like the dock. This would replicate the a OS X 10.4-only application "Menufela", but for Snow Leopard. [[NSApplication sharedApplication] setPresentationOptions: NSApplicationPresentationAutoHideMenuBar | NSApplicationPresentationAutoHideDock]...
I'm building an Applescript that will scan my network every X minutes, checking for my house's Xbox360 or PS3 and enabling my Transmission BitTorrent client Speed-Limit Mode when either console is online. Currently I can only Pause all transfers or resume all transfers using applescript, as there are separate key-commands for start/stop...

Hi there, I've been trying to get SVN to connect to Atlassian Crowd for authentication but have been running into issues with OS X Leopard Server (10.5.8) and Perl's Digest::SHA1. I've installed it from the source (http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Digest-SHA1-2.12/SHA1.pm) and if I call it directly from a Perl script it works fine, but in ...
Does anyone know of any xUnit testing frameworks for the Mac OS, more specifically for the iPhone OS? I've seen a couple online, google-toolbox-for-mac & objcUnit, but they don't seem to have had any development on them for a long time. Are there any Objective-C developers out there that perform unit testing and if you do what tools do...
I am using Appscript - a Python interface to AppleScript - in a project of mine that basically gets data from a Mac application. Here is a sample code: asobj = app('Things').to_dos()[0] self.id = asobj.id() self.name = asobj.name() self.status = asobj.status() Every invocation of the properties (id, name, status) does...
