Static Library in iOS (Xcode)

As you can read in the following blog entries

• Creating a Static Library for iPhone
• Tutorial: Code Sharing Via Static Libraries And Cross-Project References

static libraries are the best way to reuse code between several iOS projects.

In the second tutorial (part1) they define the BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR to have a shared build output locations. I prefere here a bit different settings:

• /Users/Shared/${USER}/products (Place Build Products in)
• /Users/Shared/${USER}/products/Temp (Place Intermediate Build Files in)

This separate the real products (as. e.g. a static library and its header files) and the all the other build results (e.g. object files).

Additional this setting you can simplify you search path for header files. The source tree setup of the tutorial is not required therefore.

You can set you "Header Search Path" to

• ${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/usr/local/include

The advantage is this setup work even independent of the configuration and therefor it is sufficient to define it for "All Configurations" either for each target or even for the project.

Hope this helps a bit ..

No languages settings in Mac Chrome

Seems there is no big chance to change the language settings in mac chrome.

Well even I am a native German I use in default the English UI. So my preferred language order (in system settings is English ,Deutsch ...

Seems Chrome only care's about the primary language but in some cases I like to have a translation from English to Germany ... seems this is at the moment not possible with chrome, isn't it?

Open VMware Tools on Ubuntu 8.10

Hey,

I just finally installed the latest version of the Open Virtual Machine Tools (2008.12.23) on my Ubuntu 8.10 installation (2.6.27-9-generic) under VM Ware Fusion (2.0.1).

Primary based on this HOWTO (first hit i found on google).

Under the expectation you downloaded the source package and you are in the following folder

cd open-vm-tools-2008.12.23-137496

You need some (additional) libraries and packages:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install libdumbnet-dev libdumbnet
sudo apt-get install libicu-dev

Cause I have no X development lib installed I run all with the following parameter

./configure --without-x && make

Afterwards I could install to tools:

sudo make install

We will see what is working now and what not..

Greetings and Happy New Year

Well let's see if my new RSS2Email is working :) ...

Native support of OpenID in Firefox

A new enhancement is suggested for Firefox. Native OpenID support.

Yes their are AddOns already available but why an extra AddOn
Now after MS is in the boat ... what will happen with IE 8/Vista?


So vote for native support: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416359

morzilla.org on the path to OpenID

Now after years of discussion mozilla.org is on the path to support OpenID. At least for the sub project "Bugzilla". It is now on the roadmap for on of the next versions ( 3.2 or 4.0). Sources: Bugzilla

But you can vote for more OpenID support on mozilla.org. Think about the possibilities e.g. of "native" support in one of the big browsers. Vote here

Yes Scott 2008 will be great ;) ... btw Happy New Year!

Class-action law suit against data retention

Say no!

On 9th November, the Bundestag passed the bill by the majority of votes of the big coalition to implement data retention into German law. Before the law becomes effective, the Bundespraesident has to sign it and if he does, we are going to make use of a constitutional complaint. The complete storage of communication data offends against secrecy of telecommunication and the basic right of informational self-determination.
