Hello I'm new to programming desktop applications for Mac (though a have a small experience with programming for IPhone). Suppose I create a new Cocoa project in XCode.

I have a PHP code block I've written that uses imagemagick's convert program (called through exec()) to create thumbnails of uploaded images (originally we tried using the PHP module calls, but kept running into memory errors). Of course to do this I have to have the full path to convert, which varies from system to system (on my mac it...
Is Python generally slower on Windows vs. a *nix machine? Python seems to blaze on my Mac OS X machine whereas it seems to run slower on my Window's Vista machine. The machines are similar in processing power and the vista machine has 1GBs more memory. I particularly notice this in Mercurial but I figure this may simply be how Mercuri...
I am trying to write an ant script which builds our project and will save the new build in a dist folder which gets committed to svn. As the name of the file changes for each build I need to delete all the old files in the dist folder (without knowing the names). For this I was using the following code: <exec executable="svn" outputpro...

I've just compiled and installed emacs 23.1 on my mac. It's running Leopard 10.5.8. And I've noticed that dragging and dropping does not work correctly (as it used to work with emacs 22). Now when dragging a file to the emacs icon on the dock, Emacs will start with two windows (frames in its terminology), one showing the startup screen a...
In Carbon Emacs, I was able to call M-x print-buffer and an OS-X Print Dialog appeared, letting me choose my printer. Now that I've switched to Cocoa Emacs 23.1, the print-buffer command does not behave the same way. It ends up sending the job directly to the printer, using the last selected printer (which might not even be available). ...

Hello, First of all a statement: I'm a newbie when it comes to programming for the Mac. However I have an assignment which requires USB communication with a device so I thought I'll start with something basic. I took the code from here, built it and ran it from the Terminal. It starts up and writes: Looking for devices matching vendor...

Hi, I would expect the following code to output hello5. Instead, it only outputs hello. It seems to be a problem with trying to output an int to the ostringstream. When I output the same directly to cout I receive the expected input. Using XCode 3.2 on Snow Leopard. Thanks! #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <sstream> usi...
I'm trying to compile the tetris program I wrote with C++ and SDL on OS X. First I tried doing this: `g++ -o tetris main.cpp `sdl-config --cflags --libs` -framework Cocoa` and got this: Undefined symbols: "Game::startGame()", referenced from: _main in ccQMhbGx.o "Game::Game()", referenced from: _main in ccQMhbGx.o ld:...
This is a bit esoteric, but there have to be a few people here who know how OS X's Carbon Component Manager works. I've made a couple of little apps to play around with making Components (see here for some background). Actually, one of the apps is a sample program straight from Apple called 'Fiendishthngs'. It lists all the Components th...

What i really want is for my Terminals to behave just like an xterm w.r.t. the key bindings. Is there any way to disable this popup and its b...
