Building OpenCV as a macOS Universal Intel Binary
So, for my project, I needed an Intel Universal build of the OpenCV library. The copy of the OpenCV source I have on my machine is version 3.0.0 and it has worked well for me, so I’ll start with that. My build machine is running macOS 10.12 and has Xcode 8 installed on it. OpenCV […]
Creating a remote from an already existing depo

How to install Perforce DVCS
Introduction For 9 years now, I’ve used Perforce; before that, it was MKD, Subversion, VisualSourceSafe, CVS and a few others. In the past year, I used Git.

A package manager for Xcode named Alcatraz
I learned about a package manager for Xcode named Alcatraz when I attended CocoaConf in San Jose earlier this year. Extending the functionality of Xcode through plugins has been something I’ve been looking into for a while and the only plugins I knew about in the wild could only be found through Google searches or […]
