OSX Keychain: Password Dump!

Have you ever wondered how could you “dump” / save all the passwords stored in a Keychain?

Well, I have! Furtonalty for us, Apple’s background software in OSX is nicely developed and it’s always there to help us.

To “dump” a Keychain just issue this command on Terminal:

$ sudo security dump-keychain -d login.keychain 

This will output everything you’ve in the Keychain defined with the “-d” option.

For your default OSX Keychain issue:

$ sudo security dump-keychain -d ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain 

Hope this little tip helps someone!

Tip: Qt on OSX Lion 10.7!

Qt is a great FrameWork that saves us a lot of work and trouble in many situations, but recently Qt creator in OSX is broken because of some significant changes Apple introduced in OSX Lion 10.7.

The current problem that Qt tries to compile everything using versioned GCC paths: /usr/bin/g++-4.2 and /usr/bin/gcc-4.2. In OSX Lion these files are not available.

The most easy and useful solution to the problem I found is to simply create two symlinks in /usr/bin/ from the old gcc name to the standard one.

To create the links issue the following on your Terminal:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.2

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.2

 

Now you’re almost done! At this point should be possible to compile your Apps again.

Please Remember: OSX Lion 10.7 is not a (fully) supported platform of Qt 4.7. Compiling code with the MacOS 10.7 SDK might break stuff and output errors.

You should stick to the MacOS 10.6 SDK to avoid issues. Simply add a deployment target to your QMake project (.pro file) like this:

macx: QMAKE_MAC_SDK = /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk

Now you’re done! Open Qt Creator and start building your Apps again!
