AutoHyperlinks in MacCode

AutoHyperlinks has been officially added to macode, a repository of BSD licensed OS X libraries, frameworks, and code snippets.

I’ll be continuing development on it over there and porting changes to adium (or just setting up an svn:external property - we’ll see) to prevent any GPL contamination of the main source.  Not that it’s likely, of course, but one can’t be too careful about these things.

Adium 1.3 Released!

Adium 1.3 has finally been released!

In addition to tons of overall improvements, this release includes the new BSD-Licensed AutoHyperlinks Framework, which offers many, many improvements over the old architecture.

Building MySQL for Python on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5)

Trying to get Django set up on 10.5, I noticed mysql-python needs a small patch to build properly on OS X.

I don’t know if this is required for every python/mysql install, but I know it was needed when building for MySQL 5 insalled from macports, and the system provided python libraries.

Simply fetch the patch, then apply:

patch -u -p0 -i /path/to/_mysql.c.patch

After that, make and make install as usual. That should do it!
