First, calling someone a "bastard" isn't the best way to introduce yourself and ask for help. That rude comment aside, what's so bland about the information on the Internet? P…

Poor english and/or typos aside, I don't think Train of Death was calling anyone a bastard. Nice list of online resources!

I have a string that contains encoded URL data, it's not actually a real URL (in the form http://www.host.com/path/path), it's just a string encoded in the url format (with escap…

I'm using Cocoa and Objective-C, I can create an NSURL with the string, but there seem only to be methods that can extract host etc., not decode the whole string... I would write i…

There are some CGI libraries in C that have to do this sort of parsing. Try looking at cgi-lib or cgic. I was working on an Objective-C CGI library at some point, but haven't had…

Well I've decided to write my own, replacing the '+' characters with spaces is obviously simple, but I need to convert occurrences of %XX (where XX is the ASCII value, in hex) to t…

CFURL.h (in CoreFoundation) has some functions for encoding and decoding URL text. Others can be found in the open-source Omni frameworks: the stuff you'll find useful is split bet…

I tried using CFURL and CFString to decode the URL data, but I'm having a problem.. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR>…

Oh, obviously I need to pass the allocator(?) in the CFURLCreateWithString.. but I haven't a clue what that is.

Well, I actually got the time to sit down and sift through the CF docs a little, and the solution was quite clear and simple. Here it is... <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face=…

When Jobs (or pirates, my memory's fuzzy like that) announced that X.1 would support Apple Events over IP, my first response was simply "Oh." I recently installed XFree86, and one …

AppleEvents aren't really anything related to remote control/display of programs... You'd be better off using something like OSXvnc, if I understand what you're trying to do.

I will throw in my 2 cents here but I haven't actually tried doing this yet (I only have one OS X machine). If you wrote a "client" program and set it up to communicate all the ac…

X11 does a similar thing to VNC and Timbuktu but it only exports window graphics, not whole desktops. It is how most Unix networks run and it is VERY cost-effective. Essentially,…

Hi everyone, I've been trying to compile some X11 apps to use on MacOS X with the new beta of XTools, but I'm having some troubles. I found the GNU Darwin site and the sources or …

Check out my post in the FAQ. Yes, I have compiled glib and gtk+ There are patches at http://fink.sourceforge.net - wihch also contains lots of other packagesyou can compile. GN…

Thanks, I had a look at the FAQ, and also at Fink. It mentions this: "If you get errors related to macros, use the -traditional-cpp option." Where would I add that option? I did…

The C Preprocessor in OS X (made by Apple I think) goes a bit squiffy on some code. So you need to pass -traditional-cpp to cc when it compiles. This is done by adding it to the C…

Tenon has pre-compiled ports of GTK+, Gnome-libs and others you can download from their page and in the Xterm just type "make install" and your off and running!

But Tenon's XTools is an overprices PoS. Just install fink and then you can fink install gtk and things, which is even easier, and FREE!

Thanks, both of you. I've downloaded the precompiled files from Tenon, and installed Fink, too, which seems to be very helpful! Fink is currently compiling imlib, hopefully I'll …

I'm thrilled that the XonX project is as far as it is, but I really need for it to be rootless (so that Aqua and X can run side-by-side) before I can use it for anything interestin…
