I ran into this problem the other day where I updated Xamarin on my Mac and I was playing with various solutions that involved Android projects. I kept receiving this build error:
Error: /<path>/XamarinForms1.Droid.csproj: /<path>/XamarinForms1.Droid.csproj could not import "$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\\Xamarin\\Android\\Xamarin.Android.CSharp.targets" (XamarinForms1.Droid)
I played around a bit with different project types, thinking the problem was specific to one or several of them …
I blogged a while ago about my trouble with that mobile internet connection through my T-Mobile 3G stick. Now I’ve finally found a chance to try things out, and it turns out I got it to work! I installed a driver package I downloaded a while ago from Huawei, called MobileConnectDriver(4.16.00.00).pkg. After that, I had to unplug the stick, and I also had to make sure the device I was using for the connection was the right one. For some reason I had the devices mixed up — there are two made a …
I don’t have a clue whether it works! No, really! I have a T-Mobile stick that looks exactly like the one on this page. On the back it says “web’n’walk Stick III”, and “HSPA USB Stick” and “Huawei Technologies Co. LTD”. This may or may not be similar to other sticks called “web’n’walk stick III” in other countries — I found mention of a similarly named device in Germany, but there were also links there to drivers made by a company called Option or similar, and I don’t think that has anything t …
So, I got fed up with this issue now and found a solution that isn’t pretty. But it works, apparently without any relevant disadvantages, so I’ll live with it for the time being.
Update: in the comments below there’s a different, somewhat cleaner solution, which doesn’t require you to change your “system” Python files. [SORRY, COMMENT REMOVED]
Yesterday I posted about the problem: offlineimap quits with a “trace trap”, which occurs when the line from _locale import * is executed. For fu …
Yesterday I wrote that I was going to roll back my Snow Leopard update today. I just wanted to post a quick update, because as things are, I’ve decided to stay on it. The main reason is that I managed to fix my alpine build today. Turns out that a workaround had been included in the OS X dependent code parts of alpine, to account for the fact that Apple used to have PAM headers in include/pam instead of include/security, like all other systems do. In 10.6 this has been fixed, and so the wor …
Today I ran the update to Snow Leopard on my laptop. Tomorrow I’m going to roll back that update — I’ll certainly try again, but now doesn’t seem to be the time. Snow Leopard broke a few probably minor, but to me rather important things. Here’s a summary of what I found.
After the update ran through, everything was almost good for a start. I saw a few messages coming up for kexts, but nothing that seemed serious to me. All system stuff was working. One odd thing I noticed is that I had been r …
I’m using SoundTrack Pro to do editing on recordings for Sod This [LINK REMOVED], have done so since the first episode. Cool software, usually. But sometimes shit happens in it, and it’s just unbelievable. When recording, I always try to remember to switch the track to mono, but about half the time I forget. By default it records in 24 bit, 44100 Hz, and saves as an AIFF file. So a typical one track recording ends up being a cool 600MB or so, in stereo. Anyway, so I have to bring the thing down …
@DerAlbert just pointed me at an article in German, which links to a PDF file with release notes for a recent pre-release Snow Leopard version. What it says is that a 64 bit kernel will not be used by default in Snow Leopard — in spite of all the advertising Apple has done for the 64 bit focus of Mac OS X 10.6. Although this information is about pre-release software (and yes, it shouldn’t be out there at all — somebody must have broken their NDA), it doesn’t seem likely that things will chang …
