Basic ObjC Question — #2
I'm pretty new to objc myself, but try this.
- (NSString *)getPage: (int)pageNumber
{
return [[[myArray objectAtIndex: (pageNumber -1)] copy] autorelease];
}
This returns a poin…

UBB did horrible things to my formatting. Sorry about that.
Aqua and Xlib — #1
Can't Apple create a fake libX11 that allows an X-Window aplication to draw to Aqua? That would let Apple claim thousands of native applications overnight.
Aqua and Xlib — #2
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…

So can I compile anything from its source and have it run on OSX? Sorry, I guess thats a stupid question. Anything that runs from a command line?

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..............
Preventing search of Frameworks headers — #1
How can I get gcc NOT to search /System/Library/Frameworks/foo.framework/Headers when I say #include <foo/gargle.h>?
-nostdinc doesn't do it.
It seems that the prep…
Preventing search of Frameworks headers — #2
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…
Preventing search of Frameworks headers — #3
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…
Contexual menu (how to?) — #1
Could anyone point me to a tutorial/howto/example of building a contexual menu addon that can interact with the dock?
BTW what is the preffered language of OSX as far as programmin…
Contexual menu (how to?) — #2
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…

Oops! I completely forgot about Carbon. I guess it's pretty clear what my feelings towards the new API are now. I guess that adds C and C++ to the list of viable choices. I sti…
Help - Dev Tools Install error — #1
I downloaded the Dev Tools (in omniweb), opened the archive with OpenUp, then let installer.app do its thing (I was logged in as root btw).

WWDC 2000 Prices? — #1
Can't find any info on Apple's website about pricing for last year's WWDC. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but would someone please just give me a general idea as far as how much…
mv directories? — #1
Can someone explain why the mv command won't move directories on OS X PB?
In every un*x I've used you can use mv dir1 dir2, but not osx!
How are you meant to do this?

Hmmm. Well that *should* work, but my mv (/bin/mv) only supports the -f -i switches.
mkdir foo; mv foo bar -- that works.

It's not just you. I too have run into this problem and didn't know what to think of it until now. I'm assuming it's caused by files that have resource forks since it worked when…
