MC on Apache and CGI

2002-12-08 Thread jbv
Hello again, I have a rather odd request regarding the installation of MC on a server running Apache for CGI applications, both from standard web pages and from MC standlones. MC has been installed on 2 of our servers several months ago and I've used it successfully for a couple of projects and

Pierre, It's, basicaly, two ways you can install mc to have it running behind Apache. 1.- As a simple cgi engine : just drop the mc engine where you want (but not in a directory where any bad guy will expect to find it) and add the right path head your mc-cgi scripts, alike #!/the

Richard, When I run the WebMerge tutorial here on the slowest machine I have (Win 95, 300MHz), it generates the tutoprial pages in 3.9 seconds. I have a customer running Win98 on a 1.7GHz maxchine and the same files take 4 minutes to process.(!) Does your customer have things like Kazaa

Re: Importing ( streamlining) EPS

BTW in the EPStoMetacard stack (I'm not sure I'm using the last version though), and more specifically in the bezier handler, is there a way to modify the equations used to get x values (and the corresponding y values) EQUALLY SPACED on the x axis ? Oviously, it has to do with the way v1 and v2

Compiling externals on Mac with Code Warrior

2003-06-05 Thread jbv
I managed to compile an external into a CODE ressource and place it into mchelp.mc, just as indicated in the ReadMe file under system 9. So I'm happy, but still have a practical question though : if I modify the C source code and recompile it, it seems that Code Warrior refuses to simply replace

Thank you all for your kind answers and wise recommendations to test the standalone on a Windoze machine before releasing it. But actually the reason why I decided to build the Win standalone on a Mac is because I'm facing another problem : a Win standalone built on an XP machine doesn't launch

MC OpenGL (update)

Hi list, Although I don't have much time to spend on this project these days, I managed to build an external for accessing openGL on Mac. Since it's Carbon compatible, it should run on OS8.6 to OSX (haven't tested it on OSX though). As I already achieved something similar on Win32 a few months
