Ah HA! I had to insert the full path to "pdflatex" in my script ... weird ... but the thing runs beautifully now! Oh, the full app is for online creation of custom PDF's from La…

any chance of writing a "how-to"? I would love to be able to create pdfs from php. thanks

Hmm, well, this is a project for work, so I'm not free to post all the code. HOWEVER ;-) There's nothing all that fancy going on with the project. I have a bunch of books written …

Ok, I got it to work. Here is what I did. 1.) download the file "tube-linux-sound-0.9.1.tar.gz" from the tube installation page (http://www.fhloston.ch/tube/index.html). 2.) mad…

Wlcome to the forum. You may want to check out both the tools that come with Darwin and the Developer Tools for OS X that Apple has on line. Poke around the threads in OS X Develo…

for the third time ive posted this reply, gcc is cc in the apple developer tools. get the dev tools, either the hacked copy from the darwin image or the apple dev tools from http…

I'm not happy about downloading 70Mb over a modem just to get cc. If someone could stick the 'cc' and 'make' binaries on the internet somewhere, that'd be great.

Well, if you really wanted I bet someone would mail those two binaries to you, but what would you do with them then? In order to compile something you would still need an assemble…

They're available from the Darwin CVS site I think. more info at http://www.opensource.apple.com/

UBB did horrible things to my formatting. Sorry about that.

yeah, ok, add that to Apple's list of 2.48937e+24 things to do. Seriously though, I think most would be happier with faster performance of current features. Apple's main priorities…

Uhm... Not exactly. Some stuff works, some stuff needs some work, and some stuff needs a lot of work. It's all to do with incompatibilities and niggles and stuff in OS X/Darwin. So…

As Angus stated, not exactly. Most well written CLI based software should compile with little to no modification. By well written, I mean written with portability in mind. It s…

Thanks guys, I suspected as much. In regards to the Star Office question, i'm sure it will be plastered everywhere we go when an osx binary is available. Take care..............

If you want to include gargle.h in a directory foo in the directory in which the c source file containing the #include directive, you'd want to use #include "foo/gargle.h" When y…

Yeah, but there are political reasons it's difficult for me to change the source. In "normal" (i.e., all other) compilers, the -I command line option inserts the specified director…

Java and Objective C are the preferred, and for that matter only languages for programming OSX at any level above the console. Given your familiarity with OO languages and C, I wh…
