Gametes: Try installing as root (ie, log in as root, then use Installer.app). I had the same problem 'till I tried that. Then it worked. All's well that ends well. :-) -------…

This worked for me (as root): 1. Download the disk image (downloaded as: 4.7.19.DownloadSoftware.1.1) 2. Double-Click this file and StuffIt will expand it to 4.7.19.DownloadSo…

This may sound crazy, but it works... If you still have OS 9 on your computer, reboot into it and decompress the file in OS 9. I have an iBook with 9.0.4 and OS X installed in th…

I apologise for my ignorance but... I tried downloading the OSX dev tools. I noticed that the file type is TAR. I downloaded a 69MB file but it does not open with disk copy as I th…

tar (short for "Tape ARchive") is an old Unix-based archiving format. Stuffit Expander can't do much with these for the moment. What you need to do is drop to a terminal, go to th…

Here's the interesting thing... I'm downloading the disk image under OS9 at work because of faster connection. The file I download has the name '5.7.19.DownloadSoftware.1 2.1' Shou…

It doesn't have to end with .tar, just put it on the MacOS X HD and do the gnutar command mentioned above and it will untar just fine. /Gabbe

I used to code on the Mac in Think C about 14 years ago. Haven't written a line of code since, but OS X has inspired me. I've just bought Codewarrior 6 and am trying to grease my v…

become an ADC member (for free) http://www.apple.com/developer/ and then download the apple development tools. along with the tools comes full documentation and examples. ------…

Please feel free to get out your cluesticks and send me elsewhere if this is an inappropriate forum for this question; I didn't see a Darwin dev forum here, and this seems to be a …

I haven't tried this myself, but take a look at this helpful MacAddict article: http://www.macaddict.com/content/news/2000/09/13/18709

Petard, hoist yourself over to http://www.darwinfo.org/ , where you'll find like-minded crazies. Sign up for the Darwin developer mailing list which is hosted by Apple.

I have tried downloading the tools once, but my connection was lost at about 29 MB. Is there any way of downloading sections at a time, so you dont have to start again each time t…

As I remember there were to halves of the download or the "cd-rom" download. The 2 combined equal the CD-rom as I remember ------------------ Henry Feldman NYU School of Medicine

Hi, I managed to install the Darwin development tools and sure, the compiler works. However, I cannot find the usual inter-process communication header files, in particular &l…

They are supported and exist. I have wrote a few projects using them... however I installed them from the developer tools cd. As I am sitting infront of a linux box right now I can…

I'm sure i saw somewhere on the web a way/a patch to make WO run on MacOSX BP. Can anyone remember of such thing ?

Hi all, We want to start java dev here and will be using both ProjectBuilder and JBuilder (on Mac and Wintel). It seems that CVS is the more accurate way to share sources for us, …

get the source from cyclic.com and compile it w/ the server option. You may need --without-krb5 --without-gssapi for configure

I am about 90% sure that the CVS server is built in. The CVS client is definitely there (/usr/bin/cvs) and if I remember correctly the client acts as the server if you tell it to.…

Never heard of Perforce, but CVS is great. We used it at my previous job. You can even do CVS checkouts over SSH using private keys and ssh-agents to keep it simple. UNIX is so …

I can verify that it is possible to use the built-in CVS as a server on Mac OS X. It's a bit odd to set up, but it's definitely do-able.

Well, if you look at the configure options when building CVS, you can build a binary w/o the server portion. Since the Mac man pages make no reference to that, I *assumed* that th…
