When it says "checking disk" its doing exactly that. I'd leave it there for as long as you can stand (15 to 20 minutes). The key to boot "Verbose" is "v" not c

Just starting doing a couple of things in Project Builder and was trying to make the app work in OS 9. All I see in OS 9, is a folder with the name of the application. How do I se…

Is there a way to make jikes the standard compiler for Java in the ProjectBuilder? Javac is a bit slow. Amar

Yeah, I think you need to change JAVA_COMPILER to point to jikes. Look at the release notes for java. It states it there somewhere.

For those of you who don't know Symantec has released a beta version of Norton Disk Doctor (NDD) that allows you to fix a Mac OS X disk while running under Mac OS 9.x.x. I have fo…

I am trying to use an NSTimer object in Cocoa using Java, but the documentation is very incomplete. Does anyone know how I have to use the constructor for NSTimer? It takes some pa…

Look at the corresponding Objective C docs for more explanation on parameters used. Manu

In my business (web development with heavy Math testing content) native MathML support within web browsers would be a VERY good thing. I think that Apple needs to pressure/coerce/…

Can Carbon apps use the long filenames feature of HFS+? I am considering purchasing CW Pro 6 for use in OS X PB (I already own Pro5) for Java development - and one of the most pre…

The OS9 and OS8.1+ Finders do not support long filenames (OS8.0 doesn't support HFS+ at all, so that point's moot). Therefore, long filenames will be truncated when viewed there, u…

Did Metrowerks deliver the promised CVS plugin with CW Pro 6? If so, does it work in OS X? ------------------

Can Project Builder be used to build "plain" Java apps (Not cocoa)? I just need the IDE to provide a compiler and package my classes for me. Is that possible? ------------------

It sure can. Just create a "Java" project (not Cocoa or Java-Cocoa), code like normal, and compile. Not only will it make you a .jar file, it will also create a double-clickable i…

Thanks Pants, I will give that a try. Any tips on where to find documentation, such as how do I modify the classpath?

Hi, does anyone do servlet/JSP coding in OSX??? I can't find anything related to servlet/JSP in OSX's file system...

Hey all, I downloaded the source for vim-5.7 from Softrak and tried to compile it like this: $ ./configure $ make It all goes fine until it reaches here: cc -c -I.…

Hi all, Yes, VirtualWolf is right, ./configure does not work "as is". I had to add some parameters. Since I have already installed or at least tried to install things like ncurses…

Simon -- You said you installed termcap...could you tell me how to do that? (From what I can tell, that's what missing..."termcap.h: No such file or directory"). I'll try compili…

VW: If it shouldn't work out, you could try to install the termcap (TERMinal CAPabilities database). You can get it from a GNU mirror. Here's the list of mirrors: http://www.gnu.or…

I'm having problems with the Makefile. I run configure, but when I run make, it runs configure repeatedly (forever as far as I can tell). I'm wondering if this is related to the …

Woohoo! It compiles! Thanks simon! Unfortunately, there's still a problem: in Insert mode, if I press one of the arrows keys it generates characters, instead of moving the curs…

Congratulations, VirtualWolf. The problem with the arrow keys is unfortunately quite common with vi, e.g. on Solaris. Usually, the cure is to ... install vim On my Mac, it wor…

I've downloaded and installed the developer tools, with everything appearing to go well. But there is no gcc installed that I can see, only something called 'cc'. Is 'cc' gcc? The …
