Using CocoaTechTerminal

[Anonymous]

I'm a bit of a newbie to Mac OS X Development. I read about CocoaTechTerminal and I want to get started with using it. So far I've compiled the framework and added it to my project, but I don't know where to go from there.

Please Help.

Well. I guess I'm making some progress. I've got the Omni frameworks that I need. I can't compile them though. They come with Project Builder and XCode projects.

I'm starting with omni base because that one doesn't seem to depend on the others. In project builder it will build but I have to turn off a flag in GCC -wno #warnings or something like that. And it will build. In XCode however, it won't build because it says it cant find a header file. The line of code that gives the error is #import <foundation/NSCode.m> Foundation is there. I can see the source file in the framework but it doesn't work.

From there I am basically stuck. The other frameworks have other problems compiling.

Can someone give me some better instructions on getting these working? Heck, I'd settle for precompiled versions. :)

Allrighty. Since I couldn't get the omni frameworks to compile, I instead just downloaded omni web and extracted the frameworks from it. That seems to work. I still cant compile The CocoaTechTerminal Test. But the framework compiles correctly.

I still don't know how to wire it up with interface builder so far, I just made a custom view and set the class to ITTerminalView then instanciated it and made files for it.

At this point nothing is happening. But I feel that I am very close :/ :)

I figure I'll just keep posting my project untill someone has pitty on me or untill I figure it out.

Hey there -

I'll get the developer to pop in here; I'm unfortunately not very skilled in the Cocoa arts. :)

I think the Xcode projects in the omni frameworks aren't up-to-date --- I'd stick with the ProjectBuilder projects for now.

You might need to set your installpath in your project builder preferences. I have a Intermediates directory and a Products directory I point everything to so that I can just blow those directories away entirely for a make-super-clean.
