I am completly new to macosx dev...  I am trying to make my first
application with a makefile.  The application has only a "hello world"
window and a menu.
Therefore, i cannot figure why its menu is not displayed.  I have also

In a NSDocument-subclass, I have an array Book objects (with title, authors,
year, ....). The array is bind to an NSListView and some NSEditField in a
window (in a .nib). The editing, saving, reading works very well.
Now I want to implement the undo mecanism (to profit at the same ...

Some time ago, I thought I needed GCC 3 for some forgotten command line
"makes".  So I installed it, and went blissfully along my way.  Now I
have a problem with ProjectBuilder, and have a sneaking suspicion that
it is related to my haphazard upgrade of GCC.  I have tried to ...

I am new to Xcode (comming from Codewarrior and PC programming), and try
to create / use a simple dynamic library.
To test this, I just took the code from the C++ tools template and
modified it to have the 'Hello World' to be printed in a separate

[If there's a better place to ask this, please let me know]
I upgraded an old Mac from 10.1 to 10.2.8 and ever since I've had a
really puzzling problem which is evidently with umask and/or ftpd.
If I log in with the terminal and create a new text file, its

I was wondering if any of you guys would know how (or if) I can make a
window without having to use a nib file. The idea of gathering
information like that from a file just doesn't feel right to me and I
would hate my self for publishing code using such evil mechanism.

The system profiler is able to tell some kinda serial number of my system. I
assume this is something hardware stored and won't change on next reinstall
of the OS.
When searching for information I found out that not all mac's have this but

Me and a friend are working on a project together. He produces a .a
library that I link to. Everytime I get a new .a file from him I get
this error:
ld: table of contents for archive: ../jzintv/src/libjzintv_common.a is

The following shell script demonstrates a problem trying to use OSA from
a setuid daemon. In this case the daemon is started by Apache. The problem
apparently also occurs with cron:

I am trying to compile P4Ruby (a ruby scripting extension for perforce)
on Mac OS X 10.3.5

Todo so I must compile Ruby v 1.8.1 using gcc2

I'm running Resorcerer 2.4.1 on MacOS 10.2, on a dual-g4 with 1GB of
memory.  I have a .rsrc file with four DLOG resources in it.  Three of
the dialogs open without difficulty, but the fourth just pops up
"Sorry, out of memory" instead of opening the dialog.  Has anyone

I got -4960 result from my MLTE function (TXNPaste), but there isnt
-4960 in documentation on MLTE, so i was wondering is there a complete
list of all result codes somewhere?
Or is there a quick way to find what that result code means.

Sorry if this sounds a bit basic but I have got a 350 Yikes G4 which doesn't
work.  I also have a flat beige G3 266 which I understand has a similar
logic board. The G4 had a 10 gig drive with OSX on it. When the G4 logic
board died I tried putting the drive into the G3. It starts ...

it seems that executables are not dealt with in the same
way under mac or Linux :
-I've got a C++ program called "coxeter", and an executable file
corresponding to it (naturally called "coxeter")  .

My carbon app needs to print one page of data using the default printer and
page layout. I've found some sample code but it seems far too complicated
just to print something simple. My Windows version does it in very simply
with twenty or so lines of code. Is there some simple ...
