How do I run Linux binaries under Mac OS X? Googling around I found a couple of emulators but none for running Linux binaries on a Mac. There are quite a few posts about running Mac OS X on Linux and that kind of stuff - but that's the opposite of what I want to do. Update: Thanks for all the answers! I am fully aware of MacPorts and ...
I've got Xcode 3.2.1, and enjoy using it, but when I'm editing a file with hyperlinks in the text (for example, a comment with a reference: # see http://example.com) Xcode turns the text into a clickable hyperlink. This is a royal PITA when trying to edit that hyperlink, as it means I can't click inside it to edit a piece of the link --...
Hi, Does anybody know how I can set a new scheme for my keyboard shortcuts that mimics the default key bindings of MS Visual Studio? There are two default schemes in Aptana (Preferences | General | Keys) but can I create or (better still) upload a new scheme? Ideally I'd like to avoid having to set them all manually. I'm on a OS X Sn...
I have a custom OS X NPAPI plugin built as universal 32 bit bundle. It works fine under OS x 10.6 in Firefox. It also runs fine in Safari launched in 32 bit mode. However, it silently fails in Safari launched in 64 bit mode. The 64 bit Safari runs 32 bit plugins in a separate process (WebKitPluginHost). Plugin log shows that the host s...

I'm just starting to mess with bindings. I've started implementing a preference dialog, binding some NSColorWell's to the shared defaults controller. That's working perfectly. My values are encoded and saved correctly. However, what's not working is canceling out of the dialog. If I cancel out, the values are still saved. It seems l...

I'm using PIL 1.1.6 to render a truetype font on my local Windows machine. I'd like to be able to get the application running in OSX and Ubuntu (server). So far the instructions I've found all deal with specific ports repositories on OSX (Darwinports, Macports, etc.) or very outdated instructions for Linux. Has anyone recently got ima...

I ultimately want to make games for OS X/iPhone. My problem is that I understand what I read but I can't apply my knowledge to anything. I am a programming noob. Should I stick with ...
I have a piece of software that just entered beta. A Japanese version of Mac OS X runs it fine, but a German beta tester gets a message that loosely translates to "Cannot run program because it is not supported on this type of Mac computer." It is Intel and 10.6 only, but that is what the beta tester has. He tells me that the error sho...

The problem I'm having is that the Flash has a scroll function and the entire widget is grabable. How can I disable the grab functionality on certain parts of the widget and enable it for others? I could alw...
