Building 64bit libraries

Hi All, I want to build 64bit libraries for some of my C++ components. Is it required to compile/link the libraries in OS running on physical machine directly? Or can i use a OS running as virtual machine in ESX server to build the libraries? Would i need to take care of anything if i am building in a virtual machine? Please advice I w...

Crystal reports really slows down asp.net website build, any way to exclude them?

Was helping a friend who has some 100+ "Crystal Reports 2008" reports as part of a "asp.net website project". I do not know how/why, but when this "asp.net website" project is building, it spends about 15 minutes "building" the reports directory where all the Crystal Reports reside. Can Crystal Reports files .rpt's even be build/compi...

Specifying a subproject's Configuration in XCode

I have an XCode project (A) referencing another project (B). By default (as far as I understand it) XCode will implicitly build the configuration for the B dependency that matches the configuration of the A's target (e.g., "Debug"). But what if I want, say, A to build as "Debug" and the B to build as "Release"? How would I go about speci...

Hudson build fails with Git repository & Grails

I recently configured Hudson to build a Grails project using Git as the repository. However, I am getting this error when running the build: Compilation error: srcdir "/home/matthew/.hudson/jobs/qotd-idea/workspace/src/groovy" does not exist This is because src/groovy is not copied into the Hudson workspace, so Hudson can't find the ...

Programming Definitions: What exactly is 'Building'.

What does it mean to BUILD a solution/project/program? I want to make sure I have my definitions correct (so I don't sound like a idiot when conversing). In IDE's, you can (correct me if I'm wrong) compile source-code/programming-code into computer-readable machine code. You can debug a program, which is basically stepping through the...

TFS Build and Alerts for Success / Failure

I'm using TFS 2008 and the TFS Build Service. I am able to perform builds, but I'm annoyed about receiving alerts for successful builds. I only want to receive a notification when a build does NOT succeed. Not sure why I can't find this setting, but maybe it is not offered. Does anybody know if this is possible or am I missing something?...

Getting around redundant dependency limitation in Ant?

The limitation I'm referring to is documented here. Essentially, in my build script if I want to do a clean, build and then another clean I'm hitting an issue because Ant considers the clean task already complete.

Include ant build xml inline from jar file without unzip?

I would like to simplify my main build scripts, and I'd like to have the ability to reuse certain common ant tasks as a library, but I'd also like them to be easily available as a package. For instance, I've got a task which sets up the Flex environment variables that I need to build a variety of projects. I can (And am currently) inclu...

Possible ways to abstract away hard-coded path-names for properties file in java app

I'm trying to bind in a third party app to our project but have discovered that the unix paths of their property files have been hard-coded into several classes. It is probably possible to make minimal changes to their setup, so my question is: what are the possible (and quickest) ways to achieve this? The third party app uses neither an...

Common jar task in ant build script

I have a bunch of ant projects that build plug-ins that all conform to the same API. The plug-ins incorporate the third-party libraries that they depend on so that they are self-contained. As much of the behaviour in the individual build scripts was similar, I decided to pull out the common parts to a common build script. The original ...

How to build an application that requires both libstdc++.so.5 and libstdc++.so.6?

I want to preface this with the important notice that I am not a C/C++ programmer, and know very little about how linkage of libraries works in C. Our code uses libstdc++.so.6 (gcc 3.4, i think). We have third-party precompiled (closed source) libraries that use libstdc++.so.5 (gcc 2.something or 3.2, i think). This is on linux. We h...

How to make Xcode "Run Script" to always run

I have a "run script" step that dynamically creates resources/files that I copy into the build dirs. Every run of this script produces different content so I want it to run on every build. The script gets run correctly on a clean build however once a build is made the step is not run again since no source has been modified. I tried ...

Binary diff with masking - Needed to watch consistency of builds

Hello, I am looking for a binary diff tool which allows me to mask parts of the binary files so they won't be taken into account. The challenge I am facing is the following: Once we finished actively developing a branch of our embedded software we put it into maintenance. This means it is still build once a week to ensure that it doesn...
