Programming :: Community Of Objective-C Developers Outside Of Apple?
Feb 16, 2011
Is there a serious community of Objective-C developers outside of apple? I've been doing a fair amount of objective-c programming for iPhone and am wondering what the community is like outside of apple. I am aware of gnustep for linux. Are there objective-c libraries for Windows as well? What is the cross-platform status of objective-c? Are there many open-source projects being developed using objective-c?
I just installed 6.10 on an old imac g3 and everything is fine, except for the fact that i cant get any updates because 6.10 is no longer officially supported. Does support continue in the community for this release, and if so where do i find information?
What is the code snippet required to get an image to repeat vertically up a page? I can only find info relating to repeating *background* images in my search attempts, and this is just a regular image file which I want to repeat over the pre-existing page background. I'd like it to repeat all the way up the extreme left hand edge of the page. Say the image is called abd.jpg and is in the same folder as the index.html.
i want to become a programmer and don't know any thing about the codeing. linux has python buit in so i tried it seems ok. C++ i heard is hard. Java is also hard but i managed a hello world on it. Objective C i hear is for writing in ipod language or something.I am a beginner so where should i start? Any good places to learn?
I mainly do c/c++ development in linux...also i sometimes use java and i would really like it if i had mono also.. so i am pretty much looking for support for all major languages with ides...can u suggest me a distribution?
I'm looking for a Linux distribution that is somewhat smaller than the large distros out there. Possibly somewhere to hang my hat where I may be able to contribute a little something and where there would be friendly developers. Are there any projects out there that are basically run by a community of folks (not a corporation) that would welcome users and maybe .
I was just wondering if Ubuntu developers were thinking now or in the future of introducing support for RIM BlackBerry devices?(I have previously read comments from Apple device users (iPods etc.) questioning why their devices were not supported so I suppose I am just evening things up a little for us BlackBerry users out there!
OK I have multiple developers on a system and I have setup a area on the web server where they all should have access to and all that fun stuff. Now I do not want to setup these developers default group to be this single group cause they could be members of multiple groups...
IE:
/var/www/cust1 - Group Cust1 /var/www/cust2 - Group Cust2 etc...
Then say for the developers:
dev1 - member of Cust1 & Cust2 - Default group is dev1 dev2 - member of Cust2 - Default group is dev2 dev3 - member of Cust1 - Default group is dev3
So when they go into say /var/www/cust1 only dev1 & dev3 should have access to modify files and when they create/edit files the owner should be the user and the group I want it to be Cust1. Then when going to say the Cust2 area new files and stuff have Cust2 group access with RWX.
Is this possible for users to just use their normal accounts, or will I need to look are setting up "project" accounts where they can su into say dev1cust1 account which will have the default group of Cust1?
how you all handle this and what I might be able to do so that the permissions stick.
I am trying to build minimal php and mysql binaries. While doing so, I realize that there is no documentaries to state whether does compiling straight from the source without any configurations options set, ensure an optimized yet minimal build? I am trying out for my own personal website which will be powered by Wordpress 3. The previous method I used was using the package manager: "apt-get install php-cgi php5-cgi php5-cli php5-mysql mysqld mysql-server mysql mysql-client". I am trying out to mimic the binaries installed by the package manager through building from the sources instead. How do I know what configuration options did those repositories developers used? Is there any special configuration options used for those minimal yet optimized binaries? Does doing the following ensure a minimal build?:
1) ./configure 2) make 3) install
I figured since I did not use any configuration options, therefore it should be a minimal build right (Meaning the bare-bones)?
I need to allow users who are not root to viewthe /var/log/httpd/error_log while theyare developing web pages. The default permissionof the directory /var/log/httpd/ is:drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Feb 21 04:02 httpdOf course I could just go "chmod 755 httpd", butI would like to know the "safe" way to allownon root users to access the httpd logs.Shall I add the users to the "apache" group andthen:chown apache httpd chown 750httpd
I have been working on Lucid Lynx , and I am proud to say , that Lucid supports, one of the oldest languages prior to sanskrit language. What makes me sad , is that there are some grammatical as well as spelling mistakes in that. So can any of u tell me, how to make intimations to the developers about spelling and grammatical mistakes in the language.
I would like to contribute to Linux community (development of OSes, applications, etc...) somehow, but I don't know how... My interest is to get back to the community the joys they have given me over the years, and to extend my knowledge in Linux.I have 5+ years of user and sys admin level of experiences with UNIX/Linux, and some programming skills in Perl/PHP/C. I enjoy finding and fixing problems.Maybe I can start testing OSes or applications? Would anyone have any suggestions for me where or how to start? I would like to hear opinions from anyone who is doing or has done so.
Im actively studying for my Redhat SA Certification. I am actively working in a UNIX based environment (SCO< So ancient). I need some open source contribution experience. I've been doing Perl for about 5 years and I have enough linux knowledge to make an impact.........
After upgrading to 11.2 I'm trying to install required codecs for restricted formats and following the advice that is given, and starting at "Step 1", making sure that I have at least the OSS, non-OSS etc. repos.
For some reason, when I try to add community repositories through yast, I get a Warning pop-up, stating "Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined".
Am I doing something wrong? If tried about 20 times...and so far no luck.
Online Updated prompted me today to import a new key that was created today for the KDE4 Community repository (SUSE 11.2). How can I verify the key's signature? How can I make sure that the repository has not been hacked and the key I am going to import is the correct key. I was expecting a note somewhere on the openSUSE website about the new key or a list of currently valid keys, where I can compare the signatures. But I could not find such a list or so.
I've been thinking of going into opensuse for a long time and now with KDE 4.4 is finally out - I'm going to do it. The installation shouldn't be a problem but I wonder how I can upgrade to kde 4.4, since opensuse 11.2 will have 4.3 by default? I saw in the documentation to add these repos:
# Core packages: http://download.opensuse.org/reposit.../openSUSE_11.2 # Community: Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2_KDE4_Factory_Desktop # Playground: Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Playground/openSUSE_11.2_KDE4_Factory_Desktop
whats the difference between core, community and playground? And isnt there "stable" repos for the KDE 4.4 release? And are there a repo with amarok 2.3 Beta?
Sometimes, after update, it looks like in repo are old packages but version numbers are higher than previous. It looks like there are two 'packagers' and one of them makes packages from older builds.Currently it is that old build.Look at system load plasmoid:
In newer version, on this pop-up view, is visible icon and also colors on plasmoid are brighter. This is screenshot i took before today update:
I consider myself a linux noob. The thing about this is, I have played around with various distros of linux over many years. Eventually I get frustrated at how ridiculous something as simple as text editing can be. I'm having a problem starting mysql. I have already ran the install script afer downloading mysql community server from yast.
what I need to do to start the server. I tried to issue rcmysql start, but it says "The absolute path to 'rcmysql' is 'usr/sbin/rcmysql' so running it may require superuser privileges. So i say SUDO rcmysql, enter password and again same message.
Is the program 'unhide' is available in any of the community repositories, so I could add and then install via yast?I tried installing the rpm source package but it just hangs at 'starting' and never installs.
I have a new install of opensuse 11.2 with gnome as desktop & gdm as window manager. Login OK. I added the Gnome community repositories & packman & ran an update. Now, with gdm login gives just wallpaper & no desktop. If I change to xdm as window manager I can login OK. The installed version of gdm is gdm-2.28.2-1.3.i586.
I've really been happy with my switch from Ubuntu to openSuse 11.3. However, I can't figure out how to get the banshee-community-extensions, so I can play internet radio. Is there a repo that I need to load?
I work behind an ISA proxy. I have to authenticat with domainuser. When defining proxy settings with yast, I cannot put "domainuser" in the URL, so I add it in text mode in /etc/sysconfig/proxy for all protocols. Example: [URL] Then I have to logout/login in order yast to work.
BUT: - I cannot add communauty repositories. - zypper fails
In order to make zypper and adding repositories to work, I have to suppress one of the two back-slash like:
I did zypper dup to move from 11.3 to 11.4. Almost everything works fine. But when I try to add community repositories I get the 11.3 repositories, not the 11.4 repositories. So there must be a .conf or .rc file somewhere telling yast that we're on 11.3 when in fact we are on 11.4. How/where can I change that? And while we're at it, how do I load a Factory repository? They do not appear in the list of Community" repositories.
