Comment on C++ Templates for XCode 3.2 by Skúli Arnlaugsson

Thanks!! I couldn’t figure out how to include the wxwidgets library, so this solved my problem! You’ve been bookmarked!

Yeah good overview, i still haven’d found debuggers that useful even in a codebase the size of GCC i can’t find them useful yet. I mean the only tool is would use is valgrind. And have a ./configure –with-debug=yes and have

#ifdef DEBUG
# define debug( … ) \
__debug__( __LINE__, __FILE__, __FUNCTION__, __VA_ARGS__ );
#else
# define debug( … )
#endif

all in the cpp so it can be #ifdef’d in and out of the program when you release.

Comment on Clash: Common Lisp as Shell by Chris "Jesdisciple"

I suddenly got the urge to use a Lisp shell today, and I also found this (impure) solution although I haven’t tried either: http://lush.sourceforge.net/ I’m keeping both bookmarked for the day I get a chance to use one.

Awesome! I’ve been looking for a wxWidgets sample project for XCode 3.2.1 and this works perfectly. The WxWiki documentation for setting up WxWidgets in Xcode is hopelessly outdated and didn’t work for me. At least now I have a working template project.

Cheers,
David V.

Comment on GLUT on Mac OS X by Bryan

Thanks.. I was trying to run examples from the Red Book, and this was helpful. In these, it’s called ‘init()’, not ‘initGL()’, and came after the other stuff, so the weird error you got wasn’t happening to me, but knowing where to look for the libraries was essential.

Comment on Windows updates by Max J.

There is one thing about Windows Update I hate even more: The sudden popup of “Restart now or postpone” with the restart preselected. Whenever this dialog appears, I am usually typing away – hitting spacebar however restarts the computer without the opportunity to save anything

Comment on Nethack on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) by Stuart

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll add these fixes.
(and also do a sanity check on the other changes- I guess that would have been a good idea. )

Thanks for enabling my addiction. I was able to enable full regexp with the menucolor patch by uncommenting #define MENU_COLOR_REGEX_POSIX in include/config.h and then changing the menucolor config line in the nethackrc file to escape the parentheses e.g.

MENUCOLOR=” cursed .* \(being worn\)”=red&underline

Also I ran into a Bus Error crash with the statuscolor patch when I became encumbered. To fix this I had to change line 453 in src/botl.c from:

add_colored_text(enc_stat[cap]);
to:
add_colored_text(enc_stat[cap], newbot2);

Hope this helps. Happy hacking!

Comment on Nethack Settings for OS X by Stuart

I also had problems with Menucolor but after reading your comment I went back and visited it again. Here's an update where I have applied the menucolor and a new status color patch.

Thank you Stuart.

For the record, my gcc 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490) doesn’t like the Menucolors patch, and hence the corresponding options have to be removed from Stuart’s .nethackrc but I still end up with a very playable version of the best game in the universe.
