    Help ! Need some developer to Port a X11 App to Cocoa

    Protocol 7 has already ported mpeg2dec to OS X; check it out and see if it's what you're looking for. I'm going look a bit closer at expat; I need an XML parser for a project I'm working on anyways. As far as Cocoa, why not Carbon? There are more C++ programmers out there than Obj-C...

    Help ! Need some developer to Port a X11 App to Cocoa

    Viro - What tools do you use? Will you be looking at it with Linux or OS X? Just curious. I think I've mentioned that I'm not too familiar with command-line tools =) I'll try to get it to build in Xcode and follow it in the debugger. My first inclination is that something somewhere is...

    Help ! Need some developer to Port a X11 App to Cocoa

    I'm gonna fiddle around with some more build settings, see what I can come up with. As I stated in an earlier post, I don't have any real experience with configure and make. However, I have been meaning to become more acquainted, and this seems as good a time as any. I'll post a progress...

    Help ! Need some developer to Port a X11 App to Cocoa

    Ok, this is gonna sound stupid, but was there anything in that mpeg? 'Cause it loads with 18 GOPs (0-17), all of which have 12 pictures (except the last which has 3) and audio. However, all are 0 bytes in size. There could be something I missed in the build; I can go back and re-build if...

    Help ! Need some developer to Port a X11 App to Cocoa

    The only way that I know of to run Linux under OS X is via Virtual PC, which was recently aqcuired by Microsoft. However, Mac-on-Linux is another story entirely. Do you have a mpeg2 file that you could e-mail me? I still don't know for certain whether or not GOPchop works properly for me...

    Help ! Need some developer to Port a X11 App to Cocoa

    I found a site that supposedly has samples, but none that I downloaded worked in gopchop. I then went on to Gnutella via Poisoned and searched for mpeg2 files, which I'm still in the process of doing. Hopefully I'll get SOMETHING that's predetermined to be mpeg2... (tig)

    Help ! Need some developer to Port a X11 App to Cocoa

    Yeah, but as you stated above, it's still classified as 'unstable'. If I'm gonna hose my system, I want it to be all my fault :D Maybe I'll learn something from it... On an aside, I can't get it to load an mpeg either. Keep getting the error box, with the robot from RoboCop. It trys, but...

    Help ! Need some developer to Port a X11 App to Cocoa

    Couldn't find the mpeg2dec/mpeg2.h with fink (or finkcommander), though. I've had trouble lately with it getting the current pkg list. Anyway, I downloaded mpeg2dec and compiled from source. Was a bit of a pain, but since I didn't really know what I was doing that's to be expected. Anyways...

    Help ! Need some developer to Port a X11 App to Cocoa

    I'm having problems compiling one of the components. Gopchop relys on a module called XML::Parser, which in turns relys upon an xml engine called expat. Expat is included with XML::Parser, and makefiles generate fine via configure, but when make is invoked gcc can't find "expat.h". Which is...

    What is Xquartz, and why...

    ...can't I now launch X11 without it running? I was messing around with the apps in /usr/X11R6/bin/ and came upon an app named 'Xquartz'. It wouldn't launch while X11 was running, so I killed X11 and launched it. Now, X11 won't launch at all without Xquartz. So I opened a Terminal window...

    troubles with fink

    You might also want to try this: Launch X11 (or 'Keep in Dock') Open a Finder window and locate the app. Drag said app to the X11 icon in the Dock. (tig)

    REALbasic. And you can build your app as a OS 8/9 app, a Carbon app (OS 8/9 or X) or as a Windows app. And Linux support is forthcoming as well. All in all, a very flexible solution. Check out the REALbasic website for more details. (tig) "We do not inherit the land from our ancestors"...

    How do I run an app in X11

    First, find the app. Should be somewhere in the '/sw' directory, I believe. Make sure you know the ENTIRE path (ie /sw/bin/xscrabble). Launch X11 (/Applications/Utilities). There is a menu titled 'Applications'; under it is a 'Customize...' selection. Select it. A window will open with 3...

    Macs aren't talking

    Again, make sure that the AppleTalk and File Sharing is turned on for the G3, and it SHOULD appear under 'Network' in the Finder. For the iMac under Panther, make sure that 'Make AppleTalk Active' is checked under 'System Prefs->Network->Show:Built-in Ethernet->AppleTalk' and also that...

    Seek recommendations for a beginning programmer

    I would suggest that you start him off on either REALbasic or Java, because both can be used to create immediate results, and this is important for someone as young as your son. The problem I find with REALbasic (and I'm actually going to try to write a book/manual on this subject within the...

    Macs aren't talking

    First off, boot both, and make sure that the internet connection is working for both. Get on the internet, and refresh a page just to make sure it ain't loading from the cache. Next, go to the OS 9 machine, open the TCP/IP control panel, and make sure that the connection is working through...

    To Mac or Not to Mac

    It's as good as any. Yes, OS X is much more compatible with Windows than ever before. It has the ability to browse SMB/CIFS shares from the Finder (Mac file browser), and TextEdit has the ability to read and write to .doc (Word) files. There is a native version of Office available, and if...

    XCode: Where can I find the 'pbxbuild' command line tool?

    The name of the tool has been changed to reflect the name change of the IDE. It's now called 'xcodebuild'. Check here for more info. Remember, Google is your friend. (tig)
