Best practices for debugging linking errors.
When building projects in C++, I've found debugging linking errors to be tricky, especially when picking up other people's code. What strategies do people use for debugging and fixing linking errors? ...

Is there some way to compile a .NET application to native code?
What if I want to run a .NET application in a machine where the .NET framework is not available? Is there some way to compile the application to native code? ...
Is it feasible to compile Python to machine code?
How feasible would it be to compile Python (possibly via an intermediate C representation) into machine code? Presumably it would need to link to a Python runtime library, and any parts of the Python standard library which were Python themselves would need to be compiled (and linked in) too. Also, you would need to bundle the Python in...
PHP Script Compression/"Compilation" Tools
Are there any more generic tools that can "compile" or basically merge multiple PHP files into a single file based on includes and autoloading classes? I'm thinking of something similar to Doctrine's compiling functionality or the compiling that many of the major JS frameworks do for "production" sites to lighten the file size and improv...
Can a .NET app be complied to native.
Hi all, Just wondering if a .NET app can be compiled down to native machine code ahead of time? I'm not planning on doing so if you can, I'm just curious. Thanks ...
switch case vs if else
I was wondering if there was any difference in the way the following code was compiled into assembly. I've heard that switch-case is more efficient than if else, but in this example I am not quite sure if that would be the case. if(x==1){ ... }else if(x==2){ ... }else{ ... } and switch(x){ case 1: ... break; case 2: ... break;...
Change to 64 bits not allowed when trying to edit in debug, why?
I receive this message (see image below) when I try to edit in debugging. This occur only in my Vista64bits OS, not in my XP computer. Why and what should I do? Update I found that I need to compile in x86 to be able to change value when debugging. So my question is WHY that I can't do it in x64? ...
openCV doesn't compile on Leopard
I've been for the past few hours trying to figure out why openCV doesn't compile on leopard. I've been googling for references but all point to a dead google group. So my question is quite simple: I've read INSTALL file, read all documentation i could find and still couldn't figure a solution for this. The compile breaks here (this is ...
How do you compile wxPython under cygwin?
I am using CYGWIN as a platform and would like to use wxPython. Is there a way to get the source compiled and working in cygwin? ...
Compiling Massive VB.NET Project
To compile my current project, one exe with ~90,000 loc + ~100 DLL's it takes about a half hour or more depending on the speed of the workstation. The build process is one of running devenv from Powershell scripts. This works very well with no problems. The problem is that it is slow. I want to speed up this build process. MSBuild ...
Py2Exe - "The application configuration is incorrect."
I've compiled my Python program using Py2Exe, and on the client's computer we've satisfied all the dependencies using dependency walker, but we still get "The application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may correct the problem." I'm also using wxPython. The client does not have administrator access. Any ideas...
Using AutoConf to Find Variably Named Files
I am writing my first project that will use autoconf and teaching it to myself as I go. For the most part, things are going extremely well. I have one last significant hurdle. I am having trouble locating library and header files that may be named differently from one system to the next. For example, I need to compile with Mozilla's Spi...
How to make Intersystems Caché use the new compiled class instead of the older one?
Hello I'm having trouble with loading and compiling a new version of existing classes. At the time they are loaded, there aren't any references in use to them. Class "Test.Extended" extends class "Test.Base". Class "Extended" calls a ClassMethod on class "Base". The problem is that even after loading and performing a forced compile on b...
Are functional languages inherently slow?
Why are functional languages always tailing behind C in benchmarks? If you have a statically typed functional language, it seems to me it could be compiled to the same code as C, or to even more optimized code since more semantics are available to the compiler. Why does it seem like all functional languages are slower than C, and why d...
What alternative environments exist for building projects?
I was looking at the Linux From Scratch project awhile ago and was sort of disapointed that you needed an existing copy of Linux on your machine to build it. I know that Linux is very easy to obtain, install, etc. but I was hoping to build the LFS project outside of the modern operating systems (Unix/Linux/OS-X/Windows/Etc.) and in some...
Eclipse - Compiling & executing program
In the past, I have used JCreator to develop my java applications. I wanted to try Eclipse and see its IDE. On JCreator, I could just open a java file and run it in the command prompt. On Eclipse, I cannot find out how I can compile and run a java file written by someone else without first creating a project, creating a new java class a...
Best practices for building and packaging on AIX.
Does anyone know where i can find some best practices guide for building and packaging C applications on AIX. I m using the xlc compiler and make. Thanks ...
Can I check if the C# compiler inlined a method call?
I'm writing an XNA game where I do per-pixel collision checks. The loop which checks this does so by shifting an int and bitwise ORing and is generally difficult to read and understand. I would like to add private methods such as private bool IsTransparent(int pixelColorValue) to make the loop more readable, but I don't want the overhea...
How can I compile Java code in Windows without installing the whole JDK?
Let’s say the runtime environment (version 1.6.0_01-b06) is already in place, but since I lack administrative privileges in this particular PC, the JDK can’t be installed. So, is there any portable JDK or standalone Java compiler for Windows that doesn’t require installation? ...
What scenarios are possible where the VS C# compiler would not compile a reference of a reference?
Hello, I'm probably asking this question wrong (and that may be why Google isn't helping), but here goes: In Visual Studio I am compiling a C# project (let's call it Project A, the startup project) which has a reference to Project B. Project B has a reference to a Project C, so when A gets built, the dlls for B gets placed in the bin d...
