Hi! I was looking into Apple Mail.App plugin development and I found nothing in regards to a public api for mail.app, except that there were many websites that said there is no such thing?! Is that correct? I honestly can't believe it?! Cheers, alex25 ...

I have uninstalled it via the devtools uninstall command and reinstalled 3 times to no avail. This all started when I downloaded iphone_sdk_3.1.3_with_xcode_3.2.1__snow_leopard__10m2003a.dmg from the DEV portal and installed. I've trashed my com.apple.xcode.plist file, uninstalled all xcode plugins as well as Growlcode and I still can'...
I have an old NPAPI plugin for OS X that I'm trying to refit for use with Snow Leopard's version of Safari. My problem is that when I switch Safari to 64-bit mode, it changes the plugin environment to out of process mode (where plugins are hosted by a 32-bit WebKitPluginHost process). And now my toolbar palettes are not visible on screen...
I'm trying to debug a segfault on an application I'm working on (works on linux of course, so I can't use that as my fallback for debugging core dumps). Anyhow, I've set "ulimit -c unlimited" and snow leopard reports "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" but alas there is no core file to be found. Does Snow Leopard put them somewhere spe...
Hi everyone! Sorry to be a nuisance, but I have yet ANOTHER question. How would I do something like DeskLock from macrabbit's Deskshade app? I've made the little window and that's as far as I've come. I know how to "lock" the screen in 10.6 with PresentationOptions, but I don't want to risk it because last time it wouldn't let me back in...
Hi guys, I am having a hard time trying to get Qt running. I downloaded the 4.6.2 SDK-Installer and it completed successfully.

I have a weird behaviour that has only shown up in the last week. I don't use IB, all the controls are created in code. I have a text field with a keyboard active. The first time I load the text field and use the keyboard, everything works normally. The second time I use it, the typed text does not show in the text field. However, the t...
i'm having a hell of a time installing scrapy on my sl mbp. it requires libxml2, so i set about installing that. installing it from macports doesn't seem to pull down the python binding. installing it from source through scrapy's instructions (here) does install the python bindings, but when i run 'python -c "import libxml2"' i get an a...
Hi, I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I have set up a local Mysql 5.1 sandbox on my Snow Leopard OSX machine, I have the Macports Mysql 5.1 installed and, by all appearances, functioning. It takes queries, the database is working, etc. The only strange thing is, the query cache isn't functioning. I have ...
Any hints on openSG installation on macOS 10.6 (in particular: which dependencies are needed, where to get them and how to compile everything)? The official documentation for macOS is particularly poor and it's not up-to-date. ...
At work, I was told to configure and build Qt 4.6 with the cocoa flag ./configure -cocoa Instead I just ran configure without any flags on my Mac OS X 10.6 machine. Does that mean I have to reconfigure or is cocoa linked by default in Snow Leopard? Alternatively, how can I check if my Qt build is linked against cocoa? ...
