After upgrading to iPhone SDK 2.2 and updating my iPod Touch’s Firmware to 2.2 (hell yeah, i love the option to disable automatic spellchecking!!!), i got an error building my iPhone Project:
ld: library not found for -lcrt1.10.5.o
The solution:
The error indicates some error when crosscompiling similar to crosscompiling from OS X 10.5?to Mac OS X 10.4?.
I checked the settings for my project and found that i had still set “Device – iPhone OS 2.1″ as my Base SDK. After changing the Base SDK to the most recent (and installed) version of the SDK it worked:

Recently i upgraded my OS to Leopard and had to recompile python 2.4.4 for my Zope 3 buildout setup (i need a clean python for that). The problem was, that python 2.4.4 won’t build on leopard, Jodok Batlogg from Lovely Systems had the same problem and instantly found the solution. As he hasn’t posted it to his blog, i will post it here:
1 | ./configure |
add this line to pyconfig.h in the same directory:
1 | #define SETPGRP_HAVE_ARG 1 |
1 2 | ./make ./make install |
that’s it!

As you might already know, Anarchy Media Player is a way cool javascript-based player solution for playback of media files like .mp3, quicktime movies, flash movies and so on. The very cool thing about that is, all you have to do is to include the anarchy player javascript file into your html document and each and every link to a file ending with .mp3, .mov, .wmv, .flv, … will be magically converted into a media player (thanks to the HTML DOM and javascript
).
I use the 1.6.5 version and found that when you add a class with “amplink” to your link, the media player will ignore this link! This comes handy if you want to explicitly put a link to a movie file for which you don’t want the mediaplayer magic to happen. Imagine you have a link to a flash video and two links for quicktime movies in high and low quality for download. The link to the .flv should be converted into a media player, the two quicktime links should be left intact – just put a “amplink” class on the two quicktime links and you’re set!
Dependencies
get and install libxml2
download sources for libxml2 and libxslt from http://xmlsoft.org/downloads.html
build and install
1 2 3 | ./configure --with-python=/<pathtoyourpythonbinary>/python make sudo make install |
Install kaa
first get kaa from svn:
1 | svn co svn://svn.freevo.org/kaa/trunk kaa |
i had to disable the building of the shared memory module on OS X because it wouldn’t build. As it seems kaa.metadata works without the shared memory module, but maybe someone knows how to get this built on OS X with the shm module.
go into kaa/base and edit setup.py by changing (line 36) this
1 | extensions.append( Extension('shmmodule', ['src/extensions/shmmodule.c']) ) |
to this
1 | #extensions.append( Extension('shmmodule', ['src/extensions/shmmodule.c']) ) |
until now the support for cdrom drives only works on Linux, so i disabled it on OS X.
now go to kaa/metadata and edit setup.py:
change this
1 | ext_modules = [ cdrom, ifoparser ] |
to
1 2 | #ext_modules = [ cdrom, ifoparser ] ext_modules = [ ifoparser ] |
and change this
1 | ext_modules = [ cdrom ] |
to
1 2 | #ext_modules = [ cdrom ] ext_modules = [ ] |
now go back to kaa/base and install the kaa.base package:
1 | sudo python setup.py install |
now go to kaa/metadata and install the kaa.metadata package:
1 | sudo python setup.py install |
you may use a different python instance, like /opt/python24/bin/python or something else if you don’t wanna install kaa into the default python on OS X.
I always had the problem, that i could resize (drag with my mouse) images inside kupu, but when i save the document the image has its original size
Today i found the solution to this problem here
To enable kupu to keep the resize information upon save you have to add width and height to the style whitelist in the kupu preferences in your site preferences. Your styles whitelist should look like this:
text-align
list-style-type
float
width
height
that did the trick and now resizing images is working
