(Objective C) Quickest Way to Shell - Use system() instead of NSTask - zingo

Sat, 09 Jul 2011 04:53:37 UTC

Cocoa provides NSTask to run subprocesses. It can be used to run shell scripts, but all this manual pipe and file handling is a bit cumbersome. Fortunately, for a simple script, we can use the trusty old system and redirect its result to a file.

(Objective C) Checking If You App Has Been Run Before - zingo

Thu, 26 May 2011 14:19:04 UTC

Do you need you app to do something when it is first run on a certain computer? Do you need to know if it has been run before? Enter the following code into your Application Delegate. This code creates a BOOL that is created when the app is run. The if-else statement reads the value of the BOOL -- Yes or No. NOTE: You'll notice that if you run the app from xcode with the run button it says "Not run before". When you run it again it still says that. In order to truly test locate you apps Debug .app application then run that. Xcode clears out the data when you run it again. IT DOES WORK though, so don't worry if running you app in Xcode still gives you the Not Run Before result.

(Bash) How to Build and Install GNU wget on Apple OS X 10.5 Leopard - armanx

Wed, 06 Oct 2010 21:06:52 UTC

**Download**\r\n\r\n1. Download the latest source code from the [GNU wget website](http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/ \"GNU wget website\"). You can download the latest version from [this link](http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-latest.tar.gz \"Latest wget version\").\r\n\r\n2. Extract the downloaded archive to a directory of your choice. For this example, we will extract to a directory on the desktop.\r\n\r\n**Configure**\r\n\r\n1. Once extracted, open up the terminal, and `cd` into the directory where you extracted the wget source code. Adjust the example below accordingly.\r\n\r\n `cd /Users/admin/Desktop/wget-1.11.4/`\r\n\r\n2. Before compiling, we must configure the source code for our system by running the configure script that is included with the source code. The configure script lets us specify options on how we want to build the program.\r\n\r\n For example, we can control where to install the program. By default, wget will install into `/usr/local/bin`. If we wish to change the install location, we can run the configure script with the `--prefix=/path/to/install/location` flag.\r\n\r\n In the example below, we will install all the wget files in its own directory (/usr/local/wget).\r\n\r\n **If you want to install wget into the default location (`/usr/local/bin`), *omit* the `--prefix=/usr/local/wget` when running the command below.**\r\n\r\n `./configure --prefix=/usr/local/wget`\r\n\r\n**Compiling and Installing**\r\n\r\n1. Once the configure script is done, type in `make` to start building the wget binaries. It will take several seconds to compile wget depending on the speed of your system. Once the compilation is complete, install the binaries (as root) by typing in `sudo make install`.\r\n\r\n `make`\r\n \r\n `sudo make install`\r\n\r\n2. If you used the default installation path, restart your terminal session and type in `wget` to run the program.\r\n\r\n\r\n3. If you used the location in our example, you must use the full path to the binary:\r\n\r\n `/usr/local/wget/bin/wget http://www.example.com`\r\n\r\n * To use `wget` instead of the full path, you can add wget to your `.profile` path, or add it system-wide by editing `/etc/paths`.\r\n\r\n `sudo nano /etc/paths`\r\n\r\n * Add `/usr/local/wget/bin` to the end of the file as shown. When done, press CTRL+X, answer \"y\" to save the changes, and press RETURN to update the file. Restart your terminal session to reload the paths.\r\n\r\n `/usr/bin`\r\n \r\n `/bin`\r\n \r\n `/usr/sbin`\r\n \r\n `/sbin`\r\n \r\n `/usr/local/bin`\r\n \r\n `/usr/local/wget/bin`
