Ok, I found it myself, at http://publicsource.apple.com I was able to compile libm, but there are errors with libc (some types are redefined). Help... PS: Sorry for posting th…

Depends on what your needs are but MySQL has been successfully compiled and I hvae also compiled BerkelyDB (sleepycat.com)

For bulleting boards and that sort of app, MySQL is probably the best choice. It is very fast even at large volumes, robust (won't easily puke on you) and has good security. But th…

Thanx, but I would like to make a CD/DVD list manager software so the database should be easy to install and set up on a client mac... I would like to do the same as I can do with…

Yes, REALbasic has a built-in Database thing in the Professional version. There is no such thing in the Cocoa classes, you're going to have to look somewhere else to find one. Ther…

Sounds like a real database would be an overkill. It'll probably be easier to manage your data internally...

well, a flat text file would probably be your best bet then..

Try using tiff files. Make one big image for the board, including partially transparent shadows (love that alpha channel) and others for the pieces.

Right, but how do I do that? It's mainly the coding aspects of it that I don't know. Thanks for your reply, though. I'm just a little stressed with the deadline for this thing.…

Sorry with these forums down I can't help much. What I would do is put in an NSImageView in Interface Builder and then write some code like this: <pre><font size = 1 f…

Dependant on hardware? About as hardware dependant as C++. All carbon is is just a set of C++ API's to write to. If you want to use carbon on another platform you'll have to port a…

ok thx, what I was wondering was if it's (relatively easy) technically wise to see carbon apps running on macos x86.... i guess it is

No, it is not easy. What you're talking about is porting a huge chunk of Mac OS X to x86. Even with access to the original source code, this is very difficult due to all sorts of s…

Except that Apple has already ported a large chunk of the Mac OS X code from Intel to PPC in the first place, and it's been rumoured that Apple has OS X for Intel working internall…

Well, when I get a NullPointerException I log it to stderr via Exception.printStackTrace()... Oh, wait a minute. You might not be programming in Java. Sorry, couldn't resist :-)…

Don't be too proud of java. Doesn't stderr just throw it into the console? I could do the same thing in C. I think that the default behaviour of printf, if I'm not running a progra…

The only time a memory allocation will fail on OS X is when: (a) all the RAM is being used, (b) all swap space on all drives is completely full, and (c) there are no pages in memor…

I guess that I have a question about unix memory management then. Suppose that I have opened and closed a whole bunch of programs so the memory is pretty fragmented. There's nothi…

Thanks. I guess that Unix is a lot smarter than I thought that it was.

Can you post a copy of the file? I could give it a shot. What system calls are you making. It sounds like you might need to link with the system framework or something.

Well, I actually don't have the files it's referring to. I don't even have a /sys/ directory within that g++ directory. So for some reason I'm missing files. This is very strange i…

I know what he meant. What I'm saying is that the error I'm getting makes sense... those header files it's searching for don't exist -- I had a problem installing Fink (the pkg do…

Being a select developer, I'd think that it would be very cool. However, there's no possibility to check for NDA-email addresses I know of. Maybe you should talk about it with some…
