Installing XMLSEC in Mac Os X without installing xCode

I am an Applescript programmer from Brazil.
I have developed a solution that uses xmlsec to sign an xml file that contains an invoice. (this is a new procedure in my country, all invoices have to be signed by the companies and aproved by government before they can be used)
To use xmlsec I have to first install Apple's xCode and then install darwin ports that allows me to run:
port install xmlsec
MacPorts or Darwin ports requires xCode installed, I guess it needs the gcc library to compile xmlsec.
This would make my instalation procedure very time consuming and downloads would be very long. Besides, I think I can not distribute xCode freely.
I am not sure if I can also put xmlsec in the same package as my software, but I guess I could compile a simpler xmlsec installer for Mac Os X, as long as I offer it back to the whole comunity.
I would apreciate your comments and advice,
Thank you,

Xcode includes gcc and llvm compilers, and related tools.
Your solution would likely need build and provide the pre-built executables and/or frameworks (where that is permitted by copyright holders), and to include those directly into your application package. This is how most applications on Mac OS X are constructed; what appears to be an application file is actually a bundle; a specially-marked and constructed directory structure containing whatever scripts, executables, frameworks and related pieces are needed to perform the tasks that the application is intended to provide.
It is not typical for an application package to require an end-user to install and use Xcode.
The libxml2 library (which is integrated, but you can easily download and build that, too) and the xmlsec library both appear to have BSD-style (MIT-style) software licenses, so (if I'm looking at the same packages you are planning to use) the software copyrights should not be an issue with providing the images.
[Here is the Apple application bundle guide|http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/CoreFoundation/Conc eptual/CFBundles/Introduction/Introduction.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000123i] . Xcode has a ginormous amount of documentation available, and you'll be reading through at least some of it as part of building and packaging your application. (This whether you will be distributing directly, or via the Mac app store.)
And FWIW, the Unix forum doesn't get a whole lot of traffic around application programming and development. That traffic usually occurs over in the [Apple developer forums|http://devforums.apple.com> or the [developer mailing lists|http://lists.apple.com>. The former are restricted to members of the developer program and NDA materials can be discussed, while the latter are open-access and accordingly no NDA materials can be discussed.

How to install Lion OSX on new SSD without install disc

TL;DR
I need a way to install Lion on a new SSD without an install disc, and how to format it without a Mac.
Hello, just yesterday I opened up my MBP 13" Mid-2010 running 10.7.(4/5) (Not sure which it is, but I think it is 10.7.5) and the first thing I saw was Skype tring to sign in. It looked fine, untill I took a second look and I heard a strange clicking noise coming from my computer. The Sykpe signin page said "Disc I/O error" or something like that. I instantly knew there was something wrong with my hard drive. Tried rebooting, grey screen, strange clicking noise like most people with hard drive failure. I was devistated. It has worked minutes ago, then my brother gets off, I open it up,and the hard drive has failed. After I got over the initial shock, I googled "hard drive replacement" after searching for a while, I noticed most sites just showed how to UPGRADE your hard drive, cloning it and all. Well, heres my main problem. I had no time to clone. Luckily, I had started backup up a month ago, and all my data is safe on my external hard drive, but this is only a time machine backup. No OS. Now, most people can just put in their install disk and voila! But, I, sadly, do not have my install disk. No idea where it went, I just don't have it. So, I was wondering if there was any possible way to make a bootable USB or disk without having acsess to a Mac, or having to buy a disc. I bought Lion, and I'm hoping that there is a way to download this and put it on a USB, then boot my computer from it. Now, my second problem is formatting. I have no idea how to format my SSD, let alone without a Mac. If there is some way to format an SSD so that it will work with a MacBook Pro, that would be great.on a PC
IMPORTANT: No, I don't have ANY install discs, the only one I had, for Snow Leopard, is gone. And no, I don't have access to ANY Macs to format the SSD. Finally, I would really love to be able to do this all cost-free, as I have already purchased the Lion, and dont feel like buying a disc for it again.

Yes. See below:
Drive Erase for Lion/Mountain Lion
1. Wait until the Main Menu appears. This could take quite some time because you are doing all of this over an Internet connection. You should use Ethernet if possible. It's much faster than wireless. Select Disk Utility from the Main Menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select the SSD main entry (mfgr.'s ID and size.) Click on the Partition tab in DU's main window. Select One partition from the dropdown menu under Partition Scheme.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
After the above has completed quit DU and return to the Main Menu. Click on the Install/Reinstall OS X option then click on the Continue button.
You should be all set if there are no glitches.

Install Windows on Mac Pro Retina without Boot Camp

Hi,
I have downloaded a Win 8 ISO, used Boot Camp to "burn" the ISO image to flash. Then I used Boot Camp and downloaded related drivers etc. to the flash. Then when I chosed to install Windows using Boot Camp, I received "Insert disk to be recognized" etc - meaning it does not see Win 8 that it just "burned" to the flash. Being a tech guy, I decided to go other way - found Disk Utility and shrinked the Mac partition freeing some space for Windows partition manually. Then I decided to actually install Windows - I restarted, hold Control and finally successfully got to the Win8 installation shell. So far it worked. But then I stopped - right before clicking Format on the new partition I created. I realized that when I did that before on PCs the new Windows updates the MBR that it becomes the only bootable OS. Naturally I don't want that, I want both OS X and Win 8. So I cancelled the install and here I am
So my question is - if I bypass Boot Camp and install Win8 manually to the partition I created via Disk Utility, would I still be able to dual boot?
Thanks in advance!

You should be able to hold down the option key on a restart and select what you want to boot from.
If you want to go the virtual route, you can have both running at the same time.

Can I install LR4 on MAC after I already installed it on 2 different PCs?

I have installed LR4 on my laptop and desktop, both PCs. If I purchase a MAC in the near future can I install the version of LR4 I already have on it without purchasing another license? If not, do I have to physically purchase another copy of LR4 since I would have used up my 2 allotted uses? Or is there a way to purchase an additional license online without buying another physical copy? And if bought online, would the additional license(s) be the same amount?

If you need to run Lightroom on all 3 computers on a continuous basis then you'll need another license.
1 license = 2 activations (2 x PC)
2 licenses = 4 activations (2 x PC plus 1 x Mac and one free activation for use on another computer)
Same price for each extra license.

Powerpc error when installing on intel mac, powerpc error when installing on intel mac

Trying to reinstall some software that used to work & no I receive the following error: “Spyder3Pro_Installer” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. This happened on another application I was attempting to install as well.

Thank you for the reply, but I was able to fix it. I'm sorry, I guess I didn't explain it well. The apps were not for a powerpc & the mac is an intel. For some reason the apps thought it was a ppc, so I'm not sure what happened. I had Mountain Lion installed & the apps were working fine until the crash. Just trying to put everything back & I get this error. There is another app that I get the same error on, but not sure if the fix will be that easy.

How to Install Elements 5 Without Installing the Flash Player that is On the Photoshop Elements 5 CD

Having just changed the operating system here from Microsoft Windows XP Pro to Microsoft Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), it is desirable to install the Existing Photoshop Elements 5, Without Installing the Flash Player and Adobe Reader programs on the Elements 5 CD. The Elements 5 Setup Wizard does not appear to offer an option to "uncheck" or otherwise prevent the Flash Player and Adobe Reader programs from being installed. It is not desirable to install and then uninstall the unwanted Flash Player and Adobe Reader programs. It is also not desirable to purchase a newer version of Elements at this time.

If you cancel out of the Setup Wizard and then go to Start>Computer and right click on the cd and choose explore, you should be able to go to the folder
that has photoshop elements 5 and run the Installer or Setup.exe and bypass all the other out of date stuff like flash and adobe reader.
Also, after installing pse 5 you'll want to apply the 5.02 patch so pse 5 runs better on windows 7.
(it says for vista, but works on windows 7 x64 as well)

Since the time i have installed lion my mac book pro is working very slow

its been couple of months since i installed lion, after that my pro is working very slow .
would want to knw what to check ??

I don't really understand why Lion slows down computers, but it obviously does. What worked for me is upgrading my memory from 2GB to 4GB. Also, check your hard drive space. If it is close to full, try upgrading your hard disk to a better model.
If neither of those work, you might have to do a clean reinstall of Lion. This involves cleaning out all your data and reinstalling your OS.
Cache-file cleaners like SpeedUp Mac ($29.99) can help a lot if Lion was pre-installed on your Mac, but if you installed Lion manually, they don't really do much.
Tip: NEVER try MacKeeper to make your Mac "faster": I had the misfortune of it wiping out all my data (movies, music, photos, iMovie projects, iPhoto photo books and faces, etc.)

Connecting to sql server database mdf file without installing sql server on client machine?

I am creating a window application that need to use sql server database. I want to install this application to client machine without installing sql server so that my application can still connect to a database i.e mdf file that i will be providing at client
system.
How can i connect to a database(mdf) on client machine through my window application without installing sql server. ? I dont know is it possible or not.
If possible what will be the connection string in that case. Database need not be used in network.

you cant connect and view the internals of mdf file unless it being attached to a sql server instance as a database.
The sql server instance can be installed in any box which is in the same domain and then you can connect from your application to it.

[solved] gtk3 themes for gtk3 apps, without installing gnome3

After executing "pacman -Syu", transmission was upgraded to a newer version, but it no longer has the "Clearlooks" gtk2 interface wich I installed witch pacman and selected it with "lxappearance" because I don't have gnome2 or 3 installed. Now, transmission has an ugly gtk3 interface that looks like windows 95. But how can I install ans select a gtk3 theme, without installing gnome3 ? (because I only want to keep openbox and xmonad installed, and no other WM or DE)
It says on wiki.archlinux that "gnome-tweak-tool" won't work if gnome3 is not installed...
It also tried to install the "librsvg" package, and the Newlooks theme, and I've edited "~/gtk-3.0/settings.ini" to add:
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = false
gtk-theme-name = Zukitwo
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
... and after reboot, Transmission doesn't have the "Newlooks" gtk theme... it still has the old looking theme
Last edited by Chrys349 (2011-11-26 16:36:53)

I am facing the same problem. I've created ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file:
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = elementary
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = elementary
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
Someone also wrote that copying gtk-3.0 folder should enable gtk3 theme, but this also failed.
cp -r /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/ ~/.config/gtk-3.0/

How to restore from Time Machine WITHOUT install discs using a second Mac

It's a question that is asked repeatedly all over the web by Mac users like me that bought in to Time Machine (TM) on the assumption that if their computer died one day it would be a piece of cake to restore from it, only for that day to come and then to be told "ahh, okay the first thing is to get your computers install discs..." (loud crashing sound of world falling around ears).
I've never been able to afford a new Mac and both of my machines were bought second-hand. Neither came with Leopard (both have Tiger and have been upgraded to Leopard via the net). This was never supposed to be a problem as I've been backing up with TM. However it appears that Tiger discs are as much use as an inflatable dart board when it comes to using TM. So I've been faced with the possibility of having to spend £130 (about two hundred Pres Sheets, Yankees) on the Leopard install discs just so that I can have the option of restoring from TM. Bonkers.
However after much nashing of teeth, a very long weekend learning all sorts of things about 'Target Mode', 'Single User Mode', 'Verbose Mode', 'Open Source 9' etc the following solution has worked without the need to go out and buy those over-priced discs...
What you will need:
1 broken Mac requiring restoration
1 second donor Mac running Leopard (or Snow Leopard so long as the broken Mac can run it)
1 firewire cable with the correct fitting at either end to attach both Macs together
1 Time Machine backup
Note: The following is for when you have given up trying to boot from your hard drive. In my case I couldn't boot in to Safe Mode etc. so was forced to format my drive and re-import everything. If you've read this far I'm assuming your at the same point as well and have tried everything else that's out there first.
Also - both my Macs are Power PC's so can't run Snow Leopard, so I can't say 100% this will work with SL (Intel) machines. From what I've read Snow Leopard will work with this procedure too, but if you've found differently please feel free to add your experiences below...
STEP ONE: Format the corrupt Hard Drive or replace with a fresh HDD
*Link the two computers with a firewire.
*If you're replacing your HDD, remove your corrupted hard drive from the 'broken' machine and insert a new one.
*Power up the broken Mac whilst holding down the 'T' key. This will start it up in Target Mode and you'll get a nice firewire symbol floating around that machine's screen.
*Power up the second 'healthy' Mac. This will be our 'donor' machine. When it starts up after a few seconds you will see the hard drive of the broken Mac appear on the donor Mac's desktop.
*Using your donor Mac's 'Disc Utility', format the broken Mac's hard drive (now's the time to partition it etc. if you want to).
STEP TWO: Clone your donor Mac
Your broken Mac is no longer broken and now needs a new OS. But you don't have the discs, right? Well get this... you can clone your donor mac on to your machine, even if they are totally different i.e. a laptop on to a tower.
*Again using Disc Utility, click on your donor Mac's hard drive. The restore tab appears as an option.
*Click on restore and drag the donor Mac's hard drive that contains the operating system in to the Source box.
*Drag the newly formatted hard drive on the broken Mac in to the Destination box.
*Click restore. Your donor Mac's hard drive will now be 'cloned' on to your no-longer-broken Mac. Once this is done, eject the first Mac's hard drive from your donor Mac's desktop. You no longer need the donor Mac.
Ta daa! Your machine now starts up happy and smily again. Time to restore all that stuff that's been sat on your Time Machine drive...
STEP 3: Restore from Time Machine using Migration Assistant
This is the really clever part that prompted me to write this piece in the first place. Time Machine IS accessible without those Leopard install discs you don't have. You need to use something called 'Migration Assistant'.
*Start up your machine as normal and you'll see it is an exact clone of the donor machine. Weird huh?
*Attach your Time Machine hard drive. It will show up as an icon on the desktop and because of it's size, you'll be asked if you want to use it as a Time Machine backup. Err, NO YOU DON'T! Click 'cancel'.
*Open Migration Assistant (if you can't find it just type it in to Finder and click). There are three options, the middle one being to restore from TM or another disc. Yup, you want that one.
*Migration Assistant will now ask you what you want to restore in stages, firstly User Accounts, then folders, Apps etc. It will even import internet settings
And that's you done. Let Migration Assistant do it's thang... altogether I had about 140gb to restore, so it wasn't exactly speedy. This wasn't helped by the fact that my TM hard drive is connected via USB (yes, I know). Just leave it alone and it'll whirr happily away...
Before I go - you don't have an option of when to restore from, and will restore from the last Time Machine save. At least then you should be able to access TM and go 'backwards' if you need to.
Also - for a Mac expert, the above will be up there with 'Spot Goes To The Farm' in terms of complexity. However, for the rest of us the above is only available in fragments all over the net. By far the most common response to 'how do I restore from Time Machine without install discs' is 'you can't'. If I'd found the above information in one place I could have saved a lot of hair pulling and swearing over the last couple of days, so forgive me for sharing this workaround with the rest of the world. Meanwhile your expertise will come in very handy for the inevitable questions that will get posted below, so please feel free to help those people that won't be sure if this solution is the right one for them. I'm no expert, I just want to help people that were stuck in the same situation (and looking at the web, there's a LOT of them).
Hope this is of use to someone, thanks and *good luck*!

Most maintenance and repair, restore and install procedures require the use
of the correct OS X install DVD; be it an original machine-specific restore/install
disc set or a later retail non-specific general install disc set.
By having an unsupported system, perhaps installed via an illegal download or
other file-sharing scheme, where no retail official discs are involved and the
initial upgrade was done by other means outside of the License Agreements,
you are asking us to discuss a matter of illegal installation and use of a product.
There are no legal complete OS X system download upgrades online; only bits
that are update segments to a retail or as-shipped machine's original OS X install.
+{Or an installation where a previous owner had correct retail upgrade discs, &+
+chose to not include them with the re-sale of the computer it was installed in.}+
However, to answer the initial question. To get and use an externally enclosed
hard drive in suitable boot-capable housing, and get a free-running Clone
Utility (download online; often a donation-ware product, runs free) you can
make a bootable backup of everything in your computer to an external HDD.
This is the way to make a complete backup to restore all functions to the computer.
The Time Machine has some limits, in that it can restore only that which it saves.
It does not make a bootable clone of your entire computer system with apps and
your files, to an external drive device. A clone can. And some of the clone utility's
settings can also backup changes to an external drive's system; if that other drive
is attached to the computer correctly.
Carbon Copy Cloner, from Bombich Software; and also SuperDuper, another of
the most known software names you can download and use to clone boot-capable
system backups of your computer's hard disk drive contents, are often cited.
However you resolve the matter of the running OS X system in your computer,
derived from what appears to be questionable means, is part of the initial issue.
Since you do need to be able to fix an existing installation by unmounting the
computer's hard disk drive and run the computer from the other (install disc or
system clone) while it is Unmounted; and use the correct Disk Utility version to
help diagnose and perhaps be able to fix it. You can't use a Tiger version Disk
Utility to fix a Leopard installation, and so on.
So, the situation and replies as far as they can go (since the matter does
constitute an illegal system, if it was arrived at without correct discs) is a
limited one. And file sharing of copied Mac OS X (and other) software is
also considered illegal.
And, one way to get odd malware and unusual stuff, is to get an unauthorized
system upgrade from an illegal source online. You never know what's inside it.
The other reply was not a personal attack; the matter is of legal status and as
you have a product with a questionable system, the answer is to correct it.
And if you want to save everything in your computer, make a clone to a suitable
externally enclosed self-powered boot capable hard disk drive. With older PPC
Macs, that would best be to one with FireWire and the Oxford-type control chips.
However that works out...
Good luck & happy computing!
