I am working on a project that uses voice recognition. I am currently using Apple's built-in speech recognition, but I would prefer to use ViaVoice as I hear that it is much bette…

How do I get a program to tell the PPC (G4): "Hey dude, use little-endian mode?" Just running a small data mining C proggie that I'm developing on my TiBook but will be run on a W…

Sorry, that I can't provide a solution but what is "little-endian mode"? Lars

Little-endian and big-endian refer to how numbers are interpreted by the processor. The bits that form a number can be interpreted either right-to-left or left-to-right. But, you…

If you're using standard C, the bitwise operators are required to operate as if the data they were handling was big-endian, regardless of what the underlying platform actually supp…

<strong>This is all on x86. Or maybe it was more data that was swapped (bytes over bits), I cant remember now. But I am almost positive it had nothing to do with the directio…

Sorry for being unclear - I was trying to get the point across without giving a comp-sci lecture What you say is absolutely correct. Just out of curiousity, does anyone know w…

I think you have to be in supervisor mode and of course use assembly code to do the switch. Then I suppose you'd have to switch back if you want to use any system calls. Sounds lik…

Why don't you just write some simple byte swapping functions? I don't think it is possible for Apple hardware to run in little endian mode (although I may be wrong) because various…

Okay, so I found this very basic regular math expression parser, and it works great!... except that if you enter an expression long enough (about 25 characters in length) it dies. …

Excellent. Thank you so much! My C knowledge just grew F-bacher

Is there any reason this wouldn't work? </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">code:</font><hr /><pre style="…

Trying to get libmpeg2 working on OS X.... Everthing compiles fine (after my tweaking for CC instead of gcc) but I get this in the linker: /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link cc -g …

A link error means that there is a line of code that is making reference to a symbol (it can be a variable, or function, etc), that has not been defined. In this case, it looks li…

Yeah, I got it... actually got it figured out... they were being cut off by the preprocessor... figures I got the stuff off of sourceforge... after every revision, it's like... IT'…

I'd like to make a very simple command-line tool that can: 1. Set/read the monitor brightness (the actual lamp, not a ColorSync thing) 2. Set/read the system volume -- Nevermind, f…

See either CoreGraphics.framework or IOKit.framework, methinks.

Sorry, other than a cryptically named constant, all my best grepping and handreading through those frameworks and others hasn't turned up an obvious API for monitor brightness. An…

Woah, blast from the past. Incidentally, I ended up just setting the monitor gamma to zero, which turns the screen black, without actually changing the monitor brightness. This t…

Well I really want to adjust brightness using software, as I try to write an application that sets the brightness when the battery status change. Yes it is a recovered topic, I di…
