Works for me on 10.5 and Xcode 3.1.3. Haven’t tested on 10.6 yet. In any case, finding out the correct build flags and changing build/config/Darwin shouldn’t be too hard…

1.3.6 still does not seem to work in os x debug mode. Use the sample ServerApplication project in an default xcode command line project.

Call this in Application initialize method:

ThreadPool::defaultPool().addCapacity(500);

you get this in debug mode:

malloc: *** error for object 0×7fff7067b500: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

seems to work in release however…

Yes, git can be compared to SVN, as you did in that thread. But github is a different beast. I think people are suggesting it because Poco needs more community:

1. Git allows community.
2. People can fork your code, make contributions, and issue a pull request (if you approve).
3. Get more adoption and visibilty.
4. Probably get more revenue.

I also think that Poco needs cleaner bug system. I would highly recommend you guys check out MongoDB. In about a year that entire project has just blown up, rapid adoption, tons of users forking and contributing bugs, and it columinated with a 4.3 million dollar funding round.

Okay, I changed the build settings for Mac OS X to match those used by Xcode projects. The main issue seems to be the use of -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG=1 -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG_PEDANTIC=1 by Xcode projects. I can now successfully run and debug Xcode-built projects linked with POCO libs.

It doesn’t. See the forum post by someone else. If you use a couple of debug flags, that are common with debug projects in OS X poco projects crash. Works in release mode tho.

It does. That’s where I’m working most of the time.
