How to properly use a .dylib in a plugin on OSX?

Hi all

If after using the help much appreciated here on the forums, I managed to load a third party DLL that I needed to use in my plugin on Windows.  Now I'm moving on OSX and have a .dylib file, which is actually the equivalent of the DLL in OSX.  My question is how can I properly load the .dylib on OSX for my plugin to work in AE?

Thanks a lot for your time and help!


Best,
Arie

Ah, ok, that should make things easier. So where do you put your dylib file? Even as with Windows, it must be in a location that is referenced in the path environment variable or the location of the calling application. Easy to test thing will probably be if you put it in/usr/lib or/usr/lib (for global access) or for only the current user's ~/lib.

  • How to properly use the OCILobWrite2?

    Hello world

    I am fairly new to Oracle and Oracle Database development. In the database, I have a few stored procedures in C/C++. Some of them have a power of varchar2. Unfortunately, it is limited to a specific length of characters. But these procedures sometimes give great performance. That's why I wanted to use a lob as output. But I unfortunately did not get output in the lob.

    This is how I want to write to the lob:
    extern "C" DLLEXPORT 
    void version(OCIExtProcContext* context, OCILobLocator **out, sb4 *ind_out){
         OCIEnv* envh;
         OCISvcCtx* svch;
         OCIError* errh;
         OCIExtProcGetEnv (context, &envh, &svch, &errh);
    
         std::string versioninfo = "104";
    
         oraub8 maxChar = 10;
         
         OCIDescriptorAlloc(envh, 
                     (dvoid **) out,
                     (ub4) OCI_DTYPE_LOB,       /* Type of Descriptor */
                     (size_t) 0, 
                     (dvoid **) 0);
    
         OCILobTrim2(svch, 
                  errh, 
                     *out,
                 (ub4)1);
              
         OCILobWrite2(/*svcctx*/svch, /*errh*/errh, /*ociloblocator*/*out,
                   /*byte_amtp*/NULL, /*char_amtp*/&maxChar, /*offset*/1,
                   /*bufp*/(void*)versioninfo.c_str(), /*buflen*/versioninfo.size(),
                      /*piece*/OCI_ONE_PIECE, /*context for callback*/NULL,
                   /*callback*/NULL, /*csid*/0, /*csfrm*/SQLCS_IMPLICIT);
         *ind_out = 0;
    }
    That's how I registered the function in the Oracle database:
    create or replace
    procedure version(versioninfo OUT clob) as
         external name "version" library myLib language c with context 
         parameters (context, versioninfo, versioninfo INDICATOR SB4);
    I call the following stored procedure:
    declare
      res clob;
      begin
      -- the following doesnt help much
      --dbms_lob.createtemporary(res,true);
      version(res);
      dbms_output.put_line(res);
    end;
    It gives me just an empty line without the desired contents of versioninfo.

    How can I use OCILobWrite2?

  • How to properly use the force?

    I have this type

    Hello

    Your code (with a / after the second command CREATE TYPE) works very well for me.

    Whenever you have a problem, send a script of full test that anyone can run to recreate the problem.

    Always say what version of Oracle you are using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

    See the FAQ forum: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002

    What do you mean be ' does not '?  If you get an error message, why not to show?

    How do you know that FORCE the cause of the problem?  The second CREATE TYPE statement works for you if you remove the FORCE?

  • How to properly use xdoxslt:get_year

    I have a field BEEPER DataSet called AS_OF_DATE. When I view in the preview of RTF files, it shows the 2008-01-01.

    I have a line in my RTF file that looks exactly like the examples in the Oracle documentation: <? xdoxslt:get_year('2000-04-08',_$_XDOLOCALE)? >

    When I display the results, it shows 2000. So far so good.

    What Oracle did NOT, at least not where I can find it, is include the smaller snippet of documentation that tells me how to replace "2000-04-08' with AS_OF_DATE. And most intuitive way does not work.

    I'm trying this: <? xdoxslt:get_year(AS_OF_DATE,_$_XDOLOCALE)? >, where the AS_OF_DATE is inserted, not only typed the letters field. Seems pretty intuitive to me. I get this error dialog box, which is on the way for Oracle in terms of utility: error in the expression: "xdoxslt:get_year(,$XDOLOCALE)."

    It seems that the first argument is treated as null. But as mentioned above, the value of AS_OF_DATE is NOT null.

    Can anyone offer the correct syntax for the very basic thing that I'm doing?

    Hi Tom,

    You are referring to the wrong place.
    That means, the path to the element or the context is wrong, provide the correct path to the element asofdate

    Use the following example

    
         
              2008-01-01

    Thaks a lot in advance and best regards

    Malta

    Yes, these builders are a bit confusing. Note that this applies to all classes of SimpleXXXProperty:

    The idea is that, for most uses, the property will be part of an object (or bean). That is, you'll have something like:

    public class MyBean {
         private SetProperty mySet ;
         // ...
         public final SetProperty mySetProperty() {
              return mySet ;
         }
         public final ObservableSet getMySet() {
               return mySet.get();
         }
         public final void setMySet(ObservableSet mySet) {
              this.mySet.set(mySet);
         }
    }
    

    So in this case the SetProperty belongs to an object of type MyBean and the "RIGHT" property name So that the reflection to play well with this property (i.e. for the library code to correctly find the methods mySetProperty, getMySet and setMySet), it must be initialized with a reference to its "bean owner" and his name. SimpleSetProperty (Object, String) constructor is designed to do this:

    public class MyBean {
         private SetProperty mySet = new SimpleSetProperty<>(this, "mySet");
         // ...
    }
    

    In other words, the first argument to the constructor is not a reference to the wrapped set.

    If you need something like

    SetProperty setProperty2 = new SimpleSetProperty<>(this, "lala", hset);
    

    (even though I think you will spend in an ObservableSet, not just a set of, right?) if setProperty2 is considered to be a property of the current object. There are many use cases valid where the properties are used as local variables and are not part of the State of the bean. In this case, just use the SimpleSetProperty (ObservableSet) manufacturer:

    SetProperty setProperty2 = new SimpleSetProperty<>(hset);
    
  • How to properly use the fonts Web of Adobe Edge

    I am a newbie to Dreamweaver and am trying to learn to use it through the tutorials. I am stuck at part 3, try to use Web Adobe Edge fonts correctly in my web site. I can say that I followed the instructions in the tutorial correctly, but the effect of font style is not displayed on my site. I work on a Windows 7 machine and using Dreamweaver 5.5. I copied and pasted the javascript code in the correct point in the head of the index.html page that included the font family name in the CSS file and saved the whole smash. The source code of my index page looks exactly like the sample in the tutorial, and I tried see my site in my browser, but no dice. Does not display the Web dashboard font style in the web page. I think I did everything following the directions, but I guess I missed a detail. All suggestions greatly appreciated

    You must add a

    CSS:

    H1 {}

    Police-family: League Gothic, without serif.

    make-weight: bold;

    color: #639;

    font size: 250%;

    }

    A simple way to get the correct codes is to go to Adobe Edge Web fonts and select the font you want to use.

    https://edgewebfonts.Adobe.com/fonts

    NOTE: You will not see the custom web fonts displayed in Design, Live View mode, or when you preview locally unless you use a local test server.  An easier way to test is by downloading the page on your remote server.

  • How to properly use the type tool in artificial intelligence

    I'm working on the file HAVE another person.  When I set a text box to make it larger, the text inside the text box does not expand or become tense, which is what I want.

    But then in CC AI I created my own text box and typed text in there.  When I went back to stretch the box to make larger it, the text develops and becomes veiled, which is not what I want to happen.

    Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong with the text box?  All I'm doing is enlarge the text box without messing up the resizing of text.

    Thank you.

    There is a difference between Point text and the text in the box.

    Point text can deform when scaled, text in box will give you a larger or smaller text box.

    You can switch between them:

  • How to properly use the art Board

    Because I am new with Illustrator, I am familiar with the advice of the art.

    The client gave me a sketch and I put it together for her.  I assumed that all the things she gave me the diagram was everything I had to understand.

    The client does not include everything in the skit, and now there are many more things to add to the illustration.  The document I created this to work on was 11 x 8.5, thinking that it would be for printing.  Now, I need to move to the top of the illustration all around to adapt to all the other things she wants.

    So is it possible to create a gigantic work plan and just put the drawing around with all the extra stuff that the customer wants on it and then when it's done, just copy and paste everything in a work plan, 11 x 8.5, resizing to fit?  Or y at - it another way to do this?

    Or can I just put the whole thing on a Board of great art and when I print on paper, 11 x 8.5, it it will resize accordingly?  I obviously have to include other things she wants now, but I don't want to give the wrong answer before I understand the functioning of the commissions of art in artificial intelligence.

    Please notify.  Thank you.

    Read the manual on work plans.

    You can have up to 100 work plans into a single file. They're overlapping and enclosing one another.

    When printing you can automatically reduce, but not when you save a PDF file (which is what you usually do during the transfer of the documents to the printer).

  • Properly using Configuration information/files

    I read in previous posts on the forum and have scoured the internet looking for information, but I still don't feel I know how to properly use the configuration information for my program.

    Basically, this program is a large-scale application that requires a ton of configuration information (as opposed to simply specifying constants).  The reason why I'm doing this is because scientists so as we want to be able to adjust almost any setting at any time.  Right now, I use a standard .ini file (which becomes unwieldy).  There are 7 main segments for my program (exit HW, entry HW, network Comms, Calc, etc.) that need to have configuration information stored.  There are currently 178 different "sections" with up to 7 "keys" by section.

    I thought to...

    1. with the help of a single configuration file.  It becomes unwieldy, and being able to change the settings at any time can lead to a ton of old config files (each file is stamped and recorded so that all old config may be available time/date).  Create a parser for it's a bear.

    2 using the several configuration files.  Looks better, but this led to 7 config files and 7 scanners of config file to maintain.

    3. go with a config XML format file.  I'm not too familiar with this, but it seems more scalable than .ini.

    4. using an Excel file with the columns and rows that are monitored for configuration information.  Doesn't seem to be the way to go... (because there are a lot of different sections and each section has different types of keys)

    I'm just confused on how to tackle this problem now.  Help or direction would be appreciated.


  • HOW CAN I GET A HP LASERJET 4V IN ORDER TO PROPERLY USE THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO XP PRO AND USB USING A PARALLEL CABLE?

    HOW CAN I GET A HP LASERJET 4V IN ORDER TO PROPERLY USE THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO XP PRO AND USB USING A PARALLEL CABLE?

    The printer works at all with this cable?

    The cable has recognized and installed by Windows XP when you logged on to the computer?

    If the cable has been recognized, what steps have you taken to install the printer then (be as accurate and complete as possible)?

    You get an error message?  If so, please provide, without paraphrasing.

    This printer has already been installed on this computer?  If so, with what type of connection?

    And especially, what is the brand and model of the USB to parallel cable?  Many of them do not work.  See, for example, the comments here , which suggests that 25% of the units will simply not work.  This seems to be one of these products you should buy at a local store, rather than on the Internet, then you can continue taking it back until you get a working unit.

  • How to properly close a BBUI.js screen?

    Hello world

    When writing my application, I ran into a problem:

    I got a screen that periodically triggers a script using setInterval().

    When I go to another screen and return to the screen with a periodic script, the periodic script fires twice and so forth (5 x open = lights 5 x).

    I've rechecked on loops or bugs in my code and found nothing.

    I'm using BBUI.js 0.9.6 and I use bb.pushScreen () to go to the other screens.

    I tried to run bb.popScreen (), but demand appears to hang (gray screen, must start the app).

    Could you tell me how to properly close the screen, or at least to stop the execution of JavaScript on account of the screen before moving on to another screen?

    Thank you.

    setTimeout/setInterval returns an ID that can be used in conjunction with clearTimeout() don't / clearInterval stop subsequent calls. Navigation in out of the page, I would first of all clear intervals.

    As a general rule, anti-pop tends to be used to close any screen which is presented in the display through pushScreen, with the exception of the first screen that view you as there is no screen 'parent' to return.
