mod re-write OS X 10.6

I have OS X 10.6 and am working on a website. When I look at the http.conf file in /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf it appears that the mod-rewrite module is loaded yet when I add a simple .htaccess file to the root of my site, it doesn't seem to do anything: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|index.htm...

How to clear the IntelliJ project index?

I've run into trouble that makes me suspect there is a bad index file that needs to be cleared. The symptoms are: Cmd+N will only find a subset of classes in the project Trying to run JUnit test on a package won't find the test classes in that package. Before suspecting a bad index I reinstalled IntelliJ 8.1.3, then I removed and re-...

Disassemble into x86_64 on OSX10.6 (But with _Intel_ Syntax)

I know of otool -tv, but I would much rather use the Intel syntax rather than AT&Ts, mainly to easily follow along in a book and not have to look over thousands of %'s and $'s. I'd also appreciate any tips to where I might find gdb's config file. EDIT: I forgot: I'm running a 64bit processor, but was wondering if it would be possible...

Switching J2SE versions on Mac OS (SnowLeopard)

My current JDK on Mac OS (10.6) is set to 1.6 and I'd like to switch to 1.5. A listing of '/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/' shows: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Nov 3 18:34 1.5 -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Nov 3 18:34 1.5.0 -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Nov 3 18:34 1.6 -> 1.6.0 ...

Grails 1.1 and JDK 1.5/1.6 "Bad version number in .class file"

My development environment (Mac OS 10.6) uses JDK 1.6 while production relies on 1.5. Upgrading the prod to 1.6 isn't an option at the moment so I followed the steps to install 1.5 on my machine. However, after I set the correct JAVA_HOME version to 1.5 with Grails 1.1, I get the error message: 2009-11-12 09:20:34,881 INFO [STDOUT] 09:...

How to get a clean Java VM on MacOS?

On MacOS (at least on SnowLeopard), the java command unconditionally adds an extra jar to the classpath: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/.compatibility/14compatibility.jar. This jar contains a version of Apache Xerces+Xalan, unrenamed. This can cause chaotic results for applications that are trying expl...

Segmentation fault on time(0);

Hi! I'm rewriting an old program to do some new stuff, and suddenly I get a segmentation fault error on the following line of code: time_t seconds_since_time_begun = time(0); Why, oh why?

Lock OS X on Application Start and kill Application on Unlock

Hi, I'm trying to lock the system when my application starts up. I went with the obvious, executing CGSession -suspend but that disables the audio system. What I do now is invoking the screen saver and setting the preferences to "require password to unlock". The problem here however is that I cannot detect when the screensaver unlock...

Sending struct over TCP (C-programming)

Hi again! I have a client and server program where I want to send an entire struct from the client and then output the struct member "ID" on the server.

OS X Services Bundle

I'm trying to build a standalone service for Snow Leopard. It builds just fine, it shows up in the services menu, but when I try to run it, the executable is not recognized (it reports a Bash error 126 in the Console). I built it out of a Cocoa bundle template. Is there something special in building bundles that I may have missed and ne...

Sending an int over TCP (C-programming)

Hi! I have a server and a client program (both running on the same machine). The client is able to send a struct to the server with members such as "ID", "size" etc. Then I would like the server to send the ID-member (just an integer) back to the client as an ACK for validation, but I just can't figure this out despite being able to sen...

Is the default Ruby install on Mac OSX 10.5 "good enough" for Rails development?

OSX 10.5 comes with Ruby 1.8.6 I believe, but I see a lot of tutorials that recommend installing the latest version of Ruby from source. I've done this in the past and it's caused minor issues down the road if I install something which expects Ruby to be in the default location and it's not (Phusion Passenger pref pane, for instance). ...

Creating a plain C shared library in Mac OS X that uses Objective-C libraries

Hi, I want to create a plain BSD library in Mac OS X which provides a plan C wrapper for Objective-C bases system APIs (like the CoreLocation API). Although I've written and gotten this to compile, it won't load from DLOpen in other programs. I used the "Cocoa library" project type, because when I used the normal "BSD Library" project t...
