Creating .app folders in other operating systems?

I'm working on a cross-platform game and am hoping to create an OS X port of it. I don't have access to a mac, and so am unable to use the xcode tool for creating .app folders. Are there any tools for creating .app folders on other operating systems? I'd prefer Linux, but can also use windows if required.
Thanks
Nathaniel

Well, .app bundles are specific to Cocoa and Carbon applications... The closest way to make such applications is to use GNUStep (which is an open Cocoa) but it means to rebuild the whole app to make it work with Cocoa/GNUStep...
However, application that are compatible with Mac OS X are not necessarily in .app bundles. Bundles are used for a specific purpose which gather files that the app should have really close, like its interface files (nib) that is used only with Cocoa or Carbon. If your app is neither Carbon nor Cocoa, there's no use in creating a .app bundle it doesn't even exist. And moreover, Xcode (or Project Builder on GNUStep) is the only app that creates .app bundles.

How do I create multiple live USBs of Operating systems to boot from on one flashdrive?

How do I create multiple live USBs of Operating systems to boot from on one flashdrive?
I am attempting to create multiple live USBs within one flashdrive so that i can boot various operating systems without having to buy multiple USb sticks. I am using a Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Operating System currently. I am using the Terminal provided by the OS.
I would like to try Debian, Kali, Precise Puppy, and Sabayon- with one space left empty for whatever Linux OS I would like to try next. I have partitioned an 8GB flashdrive into the following sections:
name of intended OS,     space allocated for it:
1)Debian ........................1.32 GB
2)Kali..............................2.61GB
3)Precise Puppy..............163.7MB
4)Sabayon.......................1.77GB
5)TBD..............................2.14GB
I have figured out how to change the .iso files of the operating systems into .img files with the following commands:
hdiutil convert -format UDRW /path/to/input.iso -o /path/to/output.img
a .img.dmg file is created, this is corrected in the next line of code *please note: I am a a very beginner at programming, and would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!
mv /path/to/output/file.img{.dmg,}
This is where I started to get confused:
I entered diskutil list to find the location of the partitions on my flashdrive, and this is the relevant section:
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   1:                 DOS_FAT_32 DEBIAN               1.3 GB     disk1s1
   2:                 DOS_FAT_32 KALI                    2.6 GB     disk1s2
   3:                 DOS_FAT_32 PRECISE            163.7 MB   disk1s3

   5:                 DOS_FAT_32 TBD                     2.1 GB     disk1s6
This is the code I attempted to use and the subsequent result:
charles-burtons-mac-mini:~ charlesburton$ sudo dd if=/Users/charlesburton/Desktop/debian-live-7.2-i386-gnome-desktop.img of=/dev/disk1s1 bs=1m
dd: /dev/disk1s1: Resource busy
*at this point I went to the Disk Utility GUi and unmounted only the DEBIAN partition, now back to the terminal*
charles-burtons-mac-mini:~ charlesburton$ sudo dd if=/Users/charlesburton/Desktop/debian-live-7.2-i386-gnome-desktop.img of=/dev/disk1s1 bs=1m

Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
To install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks (free upgrade, but currently unavailable) or OS X 10.10 Yosemite (currently available free upgrade) you need one of these Macs:
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.

If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and if you purchased a download code, input that code.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing the newer versions of OS X from the Mac App Store.

Creating App Folders

I am trying to organize my IPAD by using app folders. I read you can press down on the icon and it then shakes, then you can drag it to another icon and it will create a folder. When I do this it just rearranges the icons. Is there a way to create app folders? I would also like to create email folders if possible.
Thanks,
Dave

As was explained in the response to your other post on this issue, this will be possible when version iOS 4.2 comes out later this month. You can currently do it on the iPhone if you have iOS 4.0 or higher.

CSA on Other Operating Systems

When does Cisco plan to have a CSA client for other operating systems like SuSe 10 desktop and OES server?
Also, when will they have a client for 64-bit windows architecture? (64-bit may only seem like the buzz word of the moment, but with all future [Microsoft/Novell/SUN/Linux]Server technology coming out 64-bit it makes me nervous when in my environment is mandated to have CSA on all machines including Servers.)
Does Cisco have a client in development for additional operating systems?

There are QFS drivers for linux client support, not sure about windows.

How to install English language apps with different language operating system?

Dear Expert,
I have just purchased Adobe CC and downloaded the CC installer.
I cannot install Illustrator in English, because it automatically installs it in Hungarian (that is the language of Windows 7).
I have tried to set
Preferences / Apps / Settings / App Language to International English and reinstalled and updated Illustrator, but
it is still in Hungarian.
Could you please help me how to uninstall and reinstall it in English, please?
Thank you,,
Zoltan

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply. I have an active membership - just managed to solve the problem with the help of Adobe customer support.
Basically, I had to uninstall Illustrator and the Creative Cloud installer, then deleted all Adobe folders and reinstalled the software.
Before downloading anything, I had to set up the 'Preferences/Apps/App Language' to International English, because it automatically switched to the language of the operating system.

Does Time Machine track changes to disks made by other operating systems?

I run 10.8 Mountain Lion on my main partition but also occassionally boot to a copy of 10.7 Lion on a separate partition in order to run a version of Quickbooks for Mac that isn't supported in 10.8. Time machine is only turned on in 10.8 and backs up all internal disks and partitions when I'm logged into that operating system. My question is does time machine in 10.8 notice changes made to any of the internal disks made by me while I was booted into 10.7 Lion?
Occassionally I reboot into 10.7 Lion to run Quickbooks for Mac 2011, do work, make changes to files, ect. When I log back into 10.8 Mountain Lion and Time Machine does it's normal back up thing, does it recognize changes that were made to internal disks, folders, and files that were made when I was previously booted into 10.7 Lion? Or does Time Machine in 10.8 Mountain Lion only recognize changes that are made when it's running?
Thanks Peeps!

File Permissions on Oracle Directories for other Operating System Users

Hi,
I am trying to export the table data to flat file using a pl/sql function using UTL_FILE package and directories created using 'CREATE DIRECTORY' command. The function is called from a stored procedure which in-turn is called from a Java program using JDBC and the Java process runs as different operating system user. The problem for me is the file exported is being written as 'ORACLE' user with 'OINSTALL' group and '-rw-r--r--' linux file permissions. When I try to read this exported file from the java program it throws me a file access error.
I would like to know if we can specify any additional parameters either in
1) Database parameter file
2) UTIL_FILE.FOPEN function
3) CREATE DIRECTORY command
so that the files written to the DIRECTORY have a read write access.

Since you attempting to read the file from Java, you are constrained by the OS.
Write a stored proc to read the file, since PL/SQL does have the correct permissions to read/write to files.

How to create repository folders to various file systems

Hi
How to create repository folders for various filesystems,and allow the user to do access those files(checkin/checkout)
Prasad

Please explain further.
You can create a file system repository for each of the file systems.
The document approval workflow is a functionality which is already available withing the portal.
However, be aware that the file system repository does not support custom properties and versioning.
In that case you might want to use a CM respository in the FSDB mode which lets you store metadata on the portal and the actual files on the file server.

Rescue and Recovery Capability to recover other operating systems

Hello Folks,
I have a question regarding R&R. I have a thinkpad T520 running windows 7. It came with a 500GB hdd and I allocated 50GB of that to a Linux system. I bought a 1 TB HDD and would like to replace the one inside, and this brings me to my question;
*Does the R&R tool take a complete image of my hdd, meaning if I was to recover my backup to a new hdd, would I be able to access my Linux installation and all the files in that partition as well, or is it specific to the windows system only.
*If the above is indeed not possible, is there a way to change my settings on R&R to do it or do I have to resort to another paid 3rd party software to do that for me.
Please help as I can't afford to lose anything on the Linux system as I need it for research.
Thanks in advance,
Solomon

Hello and welcome,
I can't answer directly so apologies for crashing your thread. I'd be very surprised if R&R recognized anything but windows-flavored partitions. I don't have one of my old multi-boot ThinkPads at hand to test or I would.
IIRC backup is one of the reasons I finally gave up on multi-boot and went to a pure Windows setup running Linux and Solaris as virtual machines. It makes for a very simple backup process.
Having said that, I actually use Acronis for backup. It can handle multi-OS backups but in my experience I always had to repair the Linux partition after a restore.
Is the virtual machine approach something that would work for you? If not you might use one of the Linux backup approaches to save that partition separately.

Z.

Can I have access to partition of the other operating system?

Hi everyone,
I have Windows 8.1 installed through the Bootcamp. I gave a limited 56 GB space to the Windows partition and now I want to have access to some files that I have in MacOS drive. Is it possible to have access to those files? I am looking for a way to be able use the files in both partitions no matter which operating system is up in the computer.
Thanks in advance.

Of course. Moreover, Apple includes a driver inside the Boot Camp drivers you have to install in Windows that allows you to read your OS X volume in Windows. If you have not installed those drivers, look for your computer's model and your Windows version in this website to download the proper drivers -> Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support
After downloading the drivers (I suppose you are doing it in Windows), just open the downloaded file and run the installer.
However, note that the driver is read-only, so you will not be able to write in the OS X volume. Instead, I would recommend you to copy the files you need to modify from the OS X volume to the Windows one, so then you can move them to the OS X volume once you have booted up in OS X.

Problems with a bluetooth mouse and others operating systems

Hello, I have an error related to bluetooth devices.
I have on my Mac mini apart from Mountain Lion, a Linux distribution.
Steps to follow to find the error:
1. - Connect a bluetooth mouse to Mountain Lion and set it up.
2. - Reset the mini, start with Linux and also configure the mouse.
Now the mouse works fine on Mountain Lion and Linux.
Start again with Mountain Lion, you will see that the mouse does not work, but the system has added and configured.
That mistake I've seen for the first time in Snow Leopard, Lion has continued and now with Mountain Lion.
The only way to fix it is to connect a USB mouse, remove the Bluetooth mouse and add it again.
The configuration fails again when using the mouse in Linux.
Tested on another Mac (Mac-Pro) with the same result.
(I tested it with a Dell BT Travel Mouse and a Magic Mouse)
Regards

First, excuse my poor english
It's not offend, but I understand that at the time that Linux is off, and OSX is on, is OSX which is not able to work with the mouse.
I do not know what is the reason for which the operating system is not able to operate the mouse, even if it is paired and authorized.
The system also says that the mouse is working properly, when it is obvious that it is not.
Moreover, the Bluetooth preference pane is completely slowed and functioning incorrectly.
And finally, to comment that the mouse works properly on Linux after having done in OSX ..., which shows that the problem is OSX.
If I open this post is for someone to try and investigate.
Would be nice if Apple released a patch as it is clear that something is not working well in OSX.
What I did not expect was to listen that having a Linux through the middle, there is no problem.
regards
