I did the same thing and mine are fine as well, just very "curly"... any idea how to get them to straighten out again?

There should be some easy way to connect jack. Apple's products are best. Apple technical support is always available to help their customers. Apple always comes with new ideas and features.

Re: Overriding library functions in Mac OS X, the easy way: DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES

Johan — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:20:19 -0000

Should this also work for methodes which are already dynamically loaded? I'm trying to override a methode which is already dynamically loaded from a library.
(Loading methode)void * lib_handle = dlopen("libmyLib.dylib", RTLD_GLOBAL);
if(!lib_handle)
{
printf("Unable to load lib\n");
return 1;
}
printf("Dynamic lib loaded\n");
//Create function;
addNumbers* newAdder = (addNumbers*)dlsym(lib_handle, "addNumbers");
if(!newAdder)
{
printf("Unable to load function\n");
return 1;
}
printf("Function dynamiclly loaded\n");(override dylib)and then I'm trying to overwrite this methode int (*original_addNumbers) (int a, int b) = NULL;

// our fopen override implmentation
int addNumbers(int a, int b)
{}I compiled and tired you example and it works, but overriding an existing lib doesn't seem to work for me...

Re: Open new Terminal tab in current directory (updated!)

americanbreakfast — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 05:29:21 -0000

I had to change the osascript call to `arch -i386 osascript` because it was crapping out a bunch of errors. Now it works like a charm. And there is probably a better solution to this now... no?

Re: Mac OS X, Web Sharing / Apache, and Symlinks

Gustavo Neves — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 08:38:48 -0000

As Richard Mentions, it all fails unless all directories in the path for the target directory have at least permission to read! This is very important and will get you nuts trying to make this work.

Another thing one can do is to assign apache aliases (so you can use localhost/something directly).

So wrapping it all up this is how I would explain it:

FYI:
$ represents terminal (should not be typed)
gus represents my user folder

So for example, I wanted to add access to:
/Users/gus/Documents/Griffith/sem6/2622ICT/Lab exercises/

So I had to:
$ chmod 755 /Users/
$ chmod 755 /Users/gus/
$ chmod 755 /Users/gus/Documents/
... and so on

I have also done:
$ chmod 755 /Users/gus/Documents/Griffith/sem6/2622ICT/Lab exercises/*
as I want all folders inside that folder to be visible/openable.
This way I can open any version I have there (each week I have a new lab done).

I have also enabled symlinks and then I have actually used the symlink in my alias.
Example:
$ cd /Users/gus/Sites
$ ln -s /Users/gus/Documents/Griffith/sem6/2622ICT/Lab\ exercises/ flickmee

And then my alias was defined at my "/private/etc/apache2/users/gus.conf" file:
Alias /flickmee "/Users/gus/Sites/flickmee"

Followed by:
<Directory "/Users/gus/Sites/flickmee">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
*You may also add the FollowSymLinks here if you need/want it inside this folder

The procedure above makes it possible for me to access that flickmee symlink in 2 different ways:
localhost/~gus/flickmee/ (because the symlink is located inside my Sites folder)
localhost/flickmee/ (because of the Apache alias to the above symlink)

you may check permissions by using:
$ ls -la folder

Pro-Tip: You can drag and drop folders on terminal and their full path will be parsed there.

Cheers! XD

You know you've written a good post if 3 years later, google lists it in its top search results.

from our limited experiencing, adding the following attribute makes for "least surprising" builds:
    <macrodef name="git">
     ...
      <attribute default="false" name="failonerror">
     </attribute></macrodef>

Most times I dont care if the git command fails or succeeds, but sometimes I want it to "fail noisily", e.g. if ant can't fetch/merge from git:

Richard Herries — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 18:18:24 -0000

If this by chance like me still doesn't work. Check out the following link. https://discussions.apple.com/... It apparently has to do with permissions as well. Or if you don't like clicking on links put this into Terminal in your home directory 'chmod a+rx Documents' i.e. ~ username$
However as stated above you will also need to allow Symlinks in your account directory.

This code ins't clean or good or DRY but it does work and I don't have any more time to mess with it. This will do the same thing but in a new tab instead of a new window.

#!/bin/sh

if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
PATHDIR=`pwd`
else
PATHDIR=$1
fi
