Replace

  • (void)willHighlightItem:(NSMenuItem *)item currentlyHighlightedItem:(NSMenuItem *)currentItem {

by

  • (void)menu:(NSMenu *)menu willHighlightItem:(NSMenuItem *)item { NSMenuItem *currentItem = [menu highlightedItem];

above to make it work again. A delegate method like the one in your code does not exist. Thanks for the sharing this nice idea!

Thanks for the comment. I may not have been as clear as I should have – the original draft of this was interrupted by the Tohoku earthquake this past March.

No doubt porting a new compiler to a new platform is a difficult task. My point is that if the compilers are all open source ( which they are ) it only takes one developer to purchase the developer tools and create packages that anybody can install.

I can’t speak for ruby gems offering pre-compiled versions, but many tools e.g. git do have packages available so you don’t need to compile it yourself.

If you happen to run into the problem where they have the 5 bucks and want Xcode but no valid credit card, you can gift apps; or, even better, get an iTunes gift card, which I’m 99% sure can be used on the Mac App store as well.
