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 …

I feel like a ditz here but how do I create a resource, like a window resource in Interface Builder for use in Carbon applications? I can't seem to find out how to anywhere. I can …

Hi Im also dabbling with C programming using Project Builder (Ive done command line 'old school' stuff - but I wanted to use project builder to get my hands dirty right away) I w…

Just use cc the gnu c compiler ------------------ Cheers and Beers, Mr. M. Chown (Man Chown) ========================

Hi I've been trying to use Mac OS X to do some XSLT transforms - it saves me the tyranny of my local NT sysadmin. I had some success at first, with the classes exefcuting fine, bu…

The Java VM will never cache classes anywhere - I have even written code that will reload classes through the system classpath and it works fine. More than likely the package you …

I'm very interested in growing this discussion if possible. I've been using CodeWarrior on MacOS for about a year, doing Java only. Last week I spent half a day trying to get one o…
