Xcode 3 works fine so yeah I agree. We'll point people there.

by mxcl 16y ago
This is a fair point. It may work that we can support both 3 and 4. But experience suggests that even minor build bumps of Xcode cause issues compiling software. Ultimately it is a lot easier for us if we can say install this and use that a

- We are going to provide binaries for the CC toolchain. - We can't wait for Lion, nor expect everyone to use Lion. - The wiki page even says we need the whole toolchain - Headers is a good point - GCC is not the default /usr/bin/cc for Xco

Grab Xcode 4. It's still beta and buggy but it's all one window and is pretty good IMO. There's keyboard shortcuts for spaces. And CMD` to switch between windows in apps. OS X isn't perfect, I switched from KDE 5 years ago. Eventually you s

This is pretty much the opposite of my opinions. Android documentation is awful. Mostly it isn't there at all. Many times I found that it was in fact wrong. iOS documentation is really good. Garbage collection on mobile devices means you ge

It's only negative if you want to read it that way.

I'll be sure to give it a thorough testing. Thanks for your work.

His counter argument seems to be that the original blog post didn't offer alternatives or patches and so it is invalid. Which of course is not a counter argument at all. IMO the Ruby stdlib is a mess. Denying it won't improve it.

http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew is my project. IMO anyone who is afraid of forking is actually just afraid of losing control. It's much easier now for people to do a better job than you. You have to work harder in order to keep your kudos

/usr/local makes it far easier to install stuff like Gems with C extensions. It is a standard path checked by the C build system (eg. gcc). There no good reason I have yet heard why using /usr/local is bad advise. I assume that since you pr

It's worth pointing out that "sudo is up to you". So leave /usr/local alone if you like. Or install Homebrew to ~/homebrew. Whatever you choose. Homebrew was designed to be flexible and non-intrusive. However the suggested step is suggested

It's not that I hate sudo. But I encourage people not to use it because: 1. You're adding to OS X. It's very important that stuff that gets built definitely didn't touch any files in /usr or /System. Build systems for some projects are big

Playgrub and Playdar have the potential to bring music to all sorts of sites that currently only talk about it or offer it in somewhat tedious ways. Much recommended!

Ten months ago RJ wanted to write Playdar in Erlang but was worried about the portability of packaging and distributing the Erlang VM. As it stands this is still an untested area for desktop software… but ten months gives you a long time to

In my experience not hard as long as you wrote portable code. The hardest bit is compiling a universal binary.

Personally there were two reasons: 1) I don't want bandwidth costs 2) It's much harder to get contribution for a binary system (I expect). If you're installing foo and it doesn't work for some reason you probably won't want to install Xcode

Heh, it's handy I didn't know about this, or I might never have started Homebrew. Still at this point our ambitions are quite vast, so I expect Homebrew will prove more useful in the long run.

Hi I wrote Homebrew, and this is one of my goals, I've always wanted installing from source on Linux to get package management too. I do a lot of cross platform dev, and would also love for this to work on Windows. But that may be too lofty

God, are all documentaries in America like that? Like obviously biased? And scare-mongering? I couldn't watch more than a few minutes as it made me feel sick.

Yes well said, I reconsider my stance. Apple's store is full of crap, and Blackberry's won't be. Apple want to control their platform completely, but frankly, like you say, they don't seem to have a huge quality barrier, we've all seen the

Honestly, from experience I know they hardly reject any apps. There's some serious publicity surrounding a few keys app rejections here and there (hell ours was rejected once, Last.fm), but really, they reject for technical reasons. Not due

I think it'll kill the market. You need that experimentation zone. We just released our app on there. But I'd never release any hobby projects to their store. It's not just the price point that stops me. I can afford that if I must. But it

You sum up most of the stupid attitudes in this thread. The scientists in this study most likely are better at this field than you. Probably The Times misinterpreted the results. Still your denial is hilarious. Just because you're smart, do

Well honestly, this was a statistical study. Still those of us who are 27 are glad to hear you part anyway! Damn. I don't want to have passed my prime.

Saying stuff like that makes you sound young and inexperienced. That counts more than your actual age :P
