I've googled this and could'nt find anything new and useful for Apple's new OS SnowLeopard.
I wonder if this is my mistake or I do need to do something?
this is what I did:
Downloaded from mysql site:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#macosx-dmg
I choose : Mac OS X 10.5 (x86_64)
I run all the packages and installed all of them.
So…
From a shell in 10.4 or 10.5, I was able to do this:
/usr/bin/defaults read NSGlobalDomain AppleLanguages
To get the list of the language preference for that particular machine. This was done so that I could restore it back to that list after changing it with the 'defaults write' command to something else (in order to help automate l10n…
I use my .vimrc file on my laptop (OS X) and several servers (Solaris & Linux), and could hypothetically someday use it on a Windows box. I know how to detect unix generally, and windows, but how do I detect OS X? (And for that matter, is there a way to distinguish between Linux and Solaris, etc. And is there a list somewhere of…
I want to test my program by installing it in different OS versions. My development computer is Ubuntu. What other Linux versions can I test by installing them inside VirtualBox and running my program there?
Though it is not critical for me right now, I want to try something different and see what happens.
Also, what is the chance that…
Has anyone spent any time comparing the various Objective C bridges and associated Cocoa wrappers for Mono?
I want to port an existing C# application to run on OS X. Ideally I'd run the application on Mono, and build a native Cocoa UI for it.
I'm wondering which bridge would be the best choice.
In case it's useful to anyone, here…
Apple just announced the iAd platform as part of iPhone OS 4. It essentially is an embedded application with a unified interface where you close the embedded application using a small x in the corner. This is obviously a nice experience for users, that could be used by other advertising platforms or to provide an embedded…
This summer I'm getting into UNIX (mostly *BSD) development. I've graduate level knowledge about operating systems. I can also understand the code & read from here and there but the thing is I want to make most of my time. Reading books are best for this.
From my search I found that these two books

ASP.net app inserts .docx fileinto a row on DB2 OS/390 Blob table. A different VB.net app gets the DB2 OS/390 Blob data. When Microsoft Word tries to open the .docx file Microsoft Word pops up a message that the data is corrupted. Word will fix the data so the file can be viewed.
I've seen some examples where .docx…
Am doing a bit of unit testing on a function which attempts to open a new file, but should fail if the file already exists. when the function runs sucessfully, the new file is created, so i want to delete it after every test run, but it doesn't seem to be working:
class MyObject_Initialisation(unittest.TestCase):

As a (reasonably) new Python programmer, what IDEs or editors would you recommend for Python programming on OS X and why (i.e. what features/capabilities/workflow techniques really help)? I've used Xcode and played a bit with TextMate but I can't really say that either have really hit the spot for me (although…
hi, right now, i code custom wordpress theme and testing it in xampp windows XP on apache server. But as long as i concern, there's no wp build-in function to identify the code environment. Is there's any PHP build-in function to identify such thing ?

aka Intel Client Os i86
I've found out that much just looking in the update files from Intel. It was at least partly written in C.
How do I make a custom software image Intel Cos's…

I'm currently stuck trying to figure out what "iPhone OS Deployment Target" setting to use. I do not want to write conditional code right now, so I'd like the lowest version that runs my application fine.
At first I thought it would be 2.0 as I wasn't using any 3.0 features, but then i…
I remember having a command line tool on an older Mac OS X version (Tiger?) that told me the name of every file that was written to (or read) by any process on the system. It used fseventd (? or something like that). Is there something like that for the newest Mac OS X (10.6)? It should be run…
So I'm trying to create a signal handler using pthreads which works on both OS X and Linux. The code below works on OS X but doesn't work on Fedora 13.
The application is fairly simple. It spawns a pthread, registers SIGHUP and waits for a signal. After spawning the signal handler I block…
