    battery percent

    Actually, Panther does this better than Jaguar did. When the battery went from 100 to 99 in Jaguar, it immediately activated the charger to bring it back to 100. This way, if the charger was always plugged the battery was frequently uncharged an recharged a little bit. In Panther, the battery is...

    Installing UNIX software in /usr/local

    The system uses the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to look for shared libraries: export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

    Battery life since Installing panther ...

    The following worked for me. I don't know exactly if this is a recommended procedure but it fixed my battery problem. After installing Panther, my PowerBook was forced into sleep mode at about 30 percent capacity without any warning. I had this before and I succeeded to get a replacement...

    Printing problems in Panther

    This indicates that what the Lexmark Panther driver generates is invalid PostScript or at least contains something your printer doesn't like. I don't think it's related to the network connection. Somehow you need to gather the error message from your printer. On HP LaserJets I remember that...

    Recursive search and replace?

    However, awk will not modify the original file in place because it is a filter. BTW, the same can be done even faster with sed -e's|oldpattern|newpattern|g' <origfile >newfile

    Installing UNIX programs with Fink Commander - Sorry for being a Newb

    The problem is that you try to use the Developer Tools from your original CD. They are however outdated. Please download the December 2002 developer tools from developer.apple.com. In addition, install the August 2003 gcc updater, then everything should work. To download, go to...

    The missing man pages?

    I have the racoon.conf.5 file in /usr/share/man/man5 - both on Panther and Jaguar 10.2.8.

    The missing man pages?

    Did you set the MANPATH to /usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man ? It is not set by default. I do it in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist so it is globally available.

    Favourite C++ compilers

    My 0.02: It depends on the programmer if an app follows the platform guidelines or not. You can easily write an Objective-C program using the Cocoa API which does not at all match the Aqua human interface guidelines. This is not a question of the toolkit used. Qt has all Aqua controls available...

    Favourite C++ compilers

    Qt is just a C++ toolkit which manifests itself as a (shared) library plus tools. You get all the source code and compile the Qt library and tools on the system where it shall run, e.g. you compile the Mac OS X version on Mac OS X and get a Mac OS X compliant (shared) Qt library and tools...

    MIDI Music

    Sonar is not available for Mac OS X. However, Cubase SX is cross-platform and especially the new version 2.01 is very good. I prefer it over Logic which however is recommended for Mac OS X very often, I just don't like it. Another well established app is MOTU Digital Performer, but I don't know...

    Yeah, the turnaround cycles in ProjectBuilder are horribly slow. Especially starting the debugger takes ages. Fortunately, this is about to change with Xcode!

    Favourite C++ compilers

    Qt is by far the best C++ cross-platform toolkit available. Furthermore, is is a great timesaver even if you're going to write for a single platform because of its clear API. You will never consider the MFC anymore :) Adobe wrote their Photoshop Album application with Qt, see...

    Move Mail to new installation / Panther upgrade?

    Does anybody know? I trained Mail's junk mail detection with more than 50.000 messages. Now I need to re-partition the drive which means to install Jaguar from scratch. How can I preserve the junk mail detection database? Furthermore, I'm going to install Panther on the 2nd partition. I...

    Mac OSX printing problems with Photoshop, Quark and Adobe Distiller

    I would recommend to try the GimpPrint software: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3 Supports the LaserJet 4 at least, don't know about the QMS. In case it's PCL compatible there are some Generic PCL drivers available which could work.
