I was trying to download Monodevelop for mac, but on the official page there is everything but a compiled and downloadable file.
I've read around other threads on different forum and apparently it is required to compile the source code. Is this really the case?
What other alternative may exist for Mac? I just need to dig into some source code, using references and jumping from code portion to others without using the search filter.
Thanks.
If you want a binary for Mac, you need to go to Xamarin's homepage and simply download Xamarin Studio.
Xamarin Studio is basically the same thing as MonoDevelop, the only difference is a bit of branding and the inclusion of 3 plugins for their proprietary development offerings, which you can ignore if you're not interested in developing for the mobile platform.

I am new to PPAPI development and have downloaded the already examples from here
However, even after coming across the documentation,
I am not able to build the project.
I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Windows OS and Chrome:30.0.1599.65
I understand that once a dll is created, using the regsvr32 command will register the plugin, although getting the dll, even with available code, seems tough for me. Any help for building the dll is appreciated.
You will want to start here to download the and set up the SDK: https://developers.google.com/native-client/sdk/download
This page will take you through how to build and run the examples: https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/sdk/examples
This page goes over how to actually create your own plugin: https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/devguide/tutorial/tutorial-part1
And then you should read this entire section to code and structure your application: https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/devguide/coding/application-structure
If you need any third party libraries be sure to check here: https://chromium.googlesource.com/webports
Edit: Forgot to mention that you will want to use the same version of the pepper api as the version of chrome you're running (in this case pepper_30). Also, you have to use the NaCl toolchain (one of either glibc, newlib, or pnacl); you can't use the Visual C/C++ toolchains. I recommend trying pnacl now that it is available, as that is by far the most cross platform version, but if you run into trouble, you'll probably want to use the newlib toolchain as it has better support.
There's a website, in particular http://thisquantumworld.com
It is a text-only site with inter-related links. I want to have the content on this site as reading material. I can(and I did) download the site as html using wget.
But, it would be good to have it as a .chm file. In that case, it will be easily redistributable too.
Can anyone suggest a way to download a website as .chm(maybe using wget)? I have no experience with .chm files and have no idea how do they work.
For such purpose (convert web-site to chm), I use Windows freeware tool Web2Chm.
It works perfectly, and I almost sure - it will work under the Wine in Linux too.
If you want to use only wget, I think your task can be solved using python scripts.
I have a PhoneGap based application, written in html upon the Sencha Touch platform, and directed at for iPhone and Android devices.
I want to share my projects, and make it open source.
The thing is, I am using many different components in my application, which are already an open source project by themselves (Sencha Touch via the GPLv3 license, PhoneGap, various Phonegap plugins). I don't want to re-package these resources because I want to be able to easily update these components in my application, when they update.
One way to do it would be to include only my original code (html) and have instructions (Text file) that explains which version of which framework (PhoneGap, Sencah Touch, Plugins) to use with the code. That would be painful for anybody wanting to run the application.
Any ideas on how to share in a friendlier manner?
I'd recommend open sourcing the full working app (if the licensing allows.) That way, other adopters and contributors are much more likely to start with something that works.
They then have the option to update the components if they like. You could provide instructions about how to do that.
For you, it shouldn't be extra work to update the components. There are just more files to include when you push to the open source repository.
Here is a PhoneGap, jQuery Mobile, Android project I open sourced recently.
I am looking for a tool that can help me converting my swf to exe and app. I know that there are several options available. My application will be frequently updated so update feature is essentions for me. Does anybody know a converter that might help me?
Any suggestions are welcome!
p.s. As another option, I can make app and exe out of a loader app that will load main application module every time it is updated.

Guys, thank you very much for your replies, but if you read carefully my question you will probably see that my main concern is about build in update feature inside projector eg. Mac app will be able to check for new version of my app automatically...
create an AIR application with native installers and use air.update and air.update.events for to push updates.
You can use flajector or f-in-box developer's library.
You may already be aware of this, but there is an existing publishing tool you can use inside of Flash Professional.
The publisher is in different menus on different versions of flash (CS4 to CS5) and on different operating systems (Windows vs Mac) so I'll just give you the "hot key"
While inside of flash, press Shift+Alt+F12 and that will bring up some publish options. For an exe file you will want to select Win Projector or the option with .exe. Mac Projector or .app will do the same for mac. Hit publish once your preference is select and viola, that's it!
you really want to use flajector. Cool programm.
I am planning to develop a GUI Frontend for mixminion in java using swing(it would be something very simple nothing big). After making it what would be the best way to deploy it on windows for average users who dont even know whats java(leave alone JRE).So asking them to separately download JRE is not an option. I also want to keep the download size to minimum coz it will downloaded through internet so i cannot bundle JRE with installer.
Using Jet to compile it into a native code is not an option bcoz its not free.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
If your really need to create a native app, the GNU Compiler for the Java can produce native machine code. I have no experience using GCJ and the latest news on the website is from late 2009. So this advice comes without warranty or guarantees... However if want to try:
