I see these in the System/Library/Extensions/ folder and I wonder what these are for? Can you write extensions and make drivers with these? Any help is great. Also what is an .x…

A .kext file is a kernel extension. They're generally used for device drivers and other things that need to modify the system at the lowest level. They're not the same as classic…

Thanks. So since that extensions folder has what are more or less drivers is it possible to use that type of file to write drivers for things that have been left out or are not su…

What new tools appeared? I didn't see anything new appear in /usr/bin when I logged in as root. Most UNIX commands were already in /usr/bin, but compilers (except for Java).

Seems to be a misunderstanding: I was talking about OS X PB and you about OS X DP 4... BTW, I haven't seen any C++ compiler in your list and most of these tools (if not all) are al…

I was refering to OS X PB. The packages 'Developer' and 'Essentials' were installed onto OS X PB from the OS X DP4 cd. The c++ compiler is infact there, I have used it to install…

No, a lot of them weren't there before you installed the Developer.pkg from OSXDP4 CD :-) CC is the c compiler, btw, and it's definitely NOT included as standard with the PB.

Atleast we know this... If you don't want to wait for the dev cd, and 100+ MB download is a little too much for your stomach (1.e. 56k modem) - install the packages off your DP4 c…

I installed the developer tools off of the DP4 CD several weeks ago before my PB Dev Tools CD arrived. While that worked great for command line compiles, all of the IDE tools would…

I wish all of us had access to these tools. I'm trying to cross-compile a few command line and X windows apps. I got the basic cc from Darwin 1.0 (which is egcs not gcc BTW). I nee…

Holding down S on startup boots you into Mac OS X in "Single User Mode" -- and in Mac OS X, it's not a good thing to do. It's meant to be used for low-level repairs if your system…

Hi Marshall, I got the binaries and installed it and it worked. Thanks for replying to my post.

Hi, I'm a newbie and I need some help. I just used the c++ compiler that came with my developer tools CD to compile a really really simple c++ program (only slightly more complex t…

I apologize if this is too simple, but... Have you tried typing "./a.out" and pressing Return? By default, the current directory is not in your path for executing programs, so if…

The "./a.out" worked! I already knew about the -o command, but I appreciate the help. [This message has been edited by JL! (edited 09-30-2000).]

Oh my lord!!! What is this world coming to! I don't mean to flame, and don't take this personally, but what school do you go to, where you learn C++ but don't know how to run a.out…

Hey now... I learned some C++ in high school, and we used SOIUX on Macs. I am a CS major, but a freshman and haven't had any CS courses yet. I can totally empathize. Thanks for …
