ConvertMake: Converting makefile into Project Builder projects
Greetings Mac Developers. I'm pleased to announce a public beta release
of my new product, ConvertMake. ConvertMake is new developer tool for
Mac OS X that automates the conversion of makefile or other
script-based systems into Project Builder projects. Key features
include:
- Ability to convert nearly any system that uses the GNU toolset (gcc,
libtool, etc)
- Ability to import multiple source trees into a single project
- Can create static library, dynamic library, tool, application, and
framework targets
- Detailed manual with examples
The primary design goal of ConvertMake was to support as many different
configurations possible. To accomplish this goal, ConvertMake does not
parse makefiles or other build configuration files, but instead runs
the build commands/scripts normally, but intercepts commands sent to
the core build tools (compiler, linker, etc) to gather information. As
long as the build system uses the supported toolset, it has a good
chance of successful conversion....

IOXperts ANNOUNCES 802.11b DRIVER FOR MAC OS X
CAMBRIDGE, MA, March 5, 2003 - IOXperts is pleased to announce Mac OS X
support for more than 60 different 802.11b wireless networking cards on
PowerBooks equipped with PC Card slots. The IOXperts driver brings back

additional cards.
As wireless networks become the standard for homes and businesses, an
amazing variety of low-cost networking cards are available, but very few of
these provide Mac support off the shelf.
IOXperts solves this problem by providing Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 support for
more than 60 different wireless cards, including many popular models from
Agere, Lucent, Linksys, and Netgear.
The IOXperts 802.11b driver for Mac OS X provides support for AppleTalk
(with an AppleTalk-compatible base station), 64- and 128-bit WEP, AirPort
password algorithm, and listing of available networks.
