The NSSTRINGIFY problem only occurs if you're using the gcc3 compiler. Switch back to gcc 2.95 and you'll be fine. Remember, you should only use the beta gcc3 compiler in the Apr…

Hmmm...I thought you had to explicitly choose GCC3 in a build setting, which I didn't do. I wasn't intending to use GCC3, so I'll check that again..... Fraser

I'm talking from memory here, but I think you have to put all the build products in the same directory. In PB's Build preferences, choose the radio button that's labelled 'put bui…

Yeah. In Build Preferences, choose "Separate Location for build products" and "Put intermediate build files with build products" and it should all build OK.

Actually, I did choose the "Separate Location for build products" and "Put intermediate build files with build products" under "Preferences" -"Build" menu, and used the following p…

Problem Solved! The latest OmniFrameworks are not compatible with the April Developer Tools (still Beta). I uninstalled the April tools and reinstalled the December Tools and ever…

Actually I got it to build alright with ther beta tools. I had to comment out one portion of the define clauses which seemed to be giving it fits, but otherwise it works fine. F-…

To clarify, you declare your array by NSMutableArray *myArray; in your .h file. Then you can allocate and fill it with myArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:blablabla];…

let us know what you think.

Yes, as Juan says, let us know what you think - especially in context of someone who doesn't know how to program at all (or is this one of those books which assume you know C/C++ a…

Great! Thank you all very much! I'll come back here when I have more questions (which I most certainly will have ) thanks! -Nathaniel

How do I concatenate a float to a string? In java I would just use the + operator.... when I tried stringByAppendingString it didn't work. While writing this just now, I just had …
