- If these bugs have already been discussed - then forgive me.
- Does anybody out there have any good, easy, quick solutions
- to the following
-
- 1. If you include something like more than 6 or 7 libraries
- in you project (through the suitcase) and subsequently save
- the project, PB very nicely regenerates your Makefile. However,
- because it obviously thinks that the 'LIBS = ' line is too long
- it sticks a line continuation character in for you. Trouble
- is, it doesn't do it properly (leaves somes spaces) and the
- project wont make because the Makefile is corrupt. So you
- have to edit the Makefile every time you save the project. No
- big annoyance but I could do without it. NeXT tell me its a
- hang on from 2.x and they intend to do nothing about it until
- next release. They suggest I write some awk/sed etc etc. I suggest
- to them that they write some awk/sed etc etc.
-
- 2. I work in a 6 person team. We are all writing the same application
- and therfore have a desire to share a project (as in Project
- Builder). However we can't because the .nibs can not be loaded
- into IB unless you are the owner. Yes, we are all in the same
- group (UNIX) and our Preferences permissions are set to rw-rw----
- and our umask 002. What seems to happen is when the .nib is
- saved the permissions rw------- are set (for .nib and its files)
- without any reference to Preferences or umask. Now this is a
- MAJOR pain. A similar thing happens when you build a project
- and you're not the owner -a message 'fastcp : can not set network
- time.....etc etc' and falls over.
-
- What are the chances that no one has ever wanted to share a
- project before? I talked to another big NeXT site and asked
- them if they had similar problems. They told me they never tried
- sharing a project.
-
- Anyway, if anyone knows of some good ways of dealing with these
- could you mail me?
-
- Thanks in advance
