You could try soft links... Hacky I'm sure it would have issues, but it's worth a shot. Seems strange, choosing the active SDK is a fundamental part of compiling on OSX. It should be there. I actually keep a copy of 10.6.SDK handy to compile for backwards compatibility. (when I can) Actually the easiest method is to have a 10.6 VM as my dev environment...
@Bob, next time it says it's up even though you don't see it, go to the /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor. It's much like the windows task manager and will show you if something is active in the background and let you end any processes that might be hanging.

Re: another Apple idiocy
Finally I've found where the SDK path is:
Eclipse -> Preferences -> Environment
there was WXFLAGS in my system that I've created some time ago and there it was set the SDK path as -isysroot
So this was a problem of mine not caused directly by OS update.

Re: another Apple idiocy
One thing that caught me was upgrading to Xcode latest version BEFORE upgrading to El Capitan. That seemed to break a lot of things. My solution was to clean install el capitan, then Xcode, and things seemed better. But there are more bugs in this thing than in a barn that has nothing but crap in it.stegemma wrote:I've spent days to set up on environment to compile my softwares on Windows (VS) and Mac (Eclipse Mars) and after the update to El Capitan and last xCode nothing works
This was maybe a problem with Eclipse, because xCode works. Eclipse is searching for the 10.10 SDK while xCode has the 10.11 in it. I can't find how to tell Eclipse that the SDK folder has changed, maybe that option is very well hidden.
Despite from that, I would like to always keep the last release of my OS and tools... maybe am I fool?

If you are talking about the office stuff? Did that. They would not "die".JoshPettus wrote:You could try soft links... Hacky I'm sure it would have issues, but it's worth a shot.

MS just released a new office 2016 update. Still broken. Still creating those ridiculous .txt assert log files, at a rate of about 20mb per minute so long as any microsoft program is open. I wanted office on my macs due to compatibility requirements as UAB loves word, excel and powerpoint. But if it is going to come with all the usual microsoft bugs, I'm re-thinking that...

Avoiding employer lunacy
Avoiding employer lunacy
There are times when an employer will mandate that all documents, spreadsheets, presentations etc. must be distributed using some lunatic format imposed by some lunatic software. Usually, although not always, "lunatic" is a synonym for "Microsoft".
A good solution: use the automated conversion facilities present is non-lunatic application to perform pre-processing and post-processing conversion, and so let you work with non-lunatic applications.

Re: Avoiding employer lunacy
The problem is that the lunatic software developer (Micro$oft) spends a TON of time making their stuff incompatible with others so that this is hard to do. I can't tell you how many "blank documents" I received when I was using OpenOffice / LibreOffice under linux. Or how many powerpoint slides would look good until halfway through when most of the text was off the screen or in an unreadable font...sje wrote:Avoiding employer lunacy

Re: Avoiding employer lunacy
I heard LibreOffice was trying out a feature to embed the font into their file. Not sure how to do it though

The obvious problem would be the documents would grow. REALLY grow...JoshPettus wrote:I heard LibreOffice was trying out a feature to embed the font into their file. Not sure how to do it though

Re: Avoiding employer lunacy
Really? How many fonts do you use in a document? If you are using more then 2 I'd really look into your visual design... Even then they're not that big..
