I downloaded the latest wxmathplot but the readme is a bit sparse with instructions on how to build on win32 platform. Has anyone used this library for win32? Can someone point me to the docs or give some hints/advice on how to build for win32 targets. We'll eventually use this for cross platform stuff, for now it is just win32 until ...
Is it possible to compile C++ program into some intermediate stage (similar to bytecode in java) where the output is platform independent and than later compile/link at runtime to run in native (platform dependent) code? If answer is no, why? ...
Right now we are building a number of C++ apps for Win32 platform. We will be soon porting to Linux and then maybe more (32 and 64 bits for both). What is the standard practice , do you use multiple hudson servers each on their own platform to do a build, or does the hudson service create VMs and do builds? It is not clear to me the...
At my work all of the project data resides on an NFS that is accessible from both Linux and Windows machines (using Samba). All of the work is done on Linux, but I'm toying with the idea of compiling some of tools for Windows so that I can debug with Visual Studio. I already have a nice makefile that can build the code for both 32-bit ...
I'm trying to do the opposite of this question, replacing Unix line endings with Windows line endings, so that I can use SQL Server bcp over samba to import the file. I have sed installed but not dos2unix. I tried reversing the examples but to no avail. Here's the command I'm using. sed -e 's/\n/\r\n/g' myfile I executed this and the...
On a windows system the registry has keys like: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727\AssemblyFoldersEx for locations of dot net assembly folders other than the gac. Does a non-win mono system have a way of retrieving these or was it just considered not important? ...
I am writing a small C++ program for fun and for extending my C++ skill. Since its scope is relatively small, I also planning to try out cross-platform development by making this program support both Windows and Linux. I reckon my C++ proficiency is sitting somewhere between casual and intermediate level: OO, a bit of templates and desi...
Is there a Cross Platform ( Win32 / Win64 / Linux32 / Linux64 / MacOSX Snow Leopard ) Commercial Development Tool / IDE / Programming Language ? ( No Java / .Net , only NATIVE ) ...
The current setup is that I'm developing a program for Linux (and debugging the binary with GDB via SSH), but using Eclipse and a remote file mount to do the editing from a Windows box. I'd really love to be able to debug in eclipse but I haven't yet found anything that would work. Anyone know of anything I should look at? BTW: I'm wi...
I have a Java application that runs on Mac and Windows, directly off a CD/DVD with no installation. Now, I need to store a file containing per-user data (think favourites etc.) somewhere on the local file system, so that it can be written to. So, where do you think is a good location for this file? I am thinking something like: <USER_...
I run MATLAB on both Linux and Windows XP. My files are synced among all of the computers I use, but because of the differences in directory structure between Linux and Windows I have to have separate import and export lines for the different operating systems. At the moment I just comment out the line for the wrong OS, but I am wonderin...
I want to execute a sub-process in C++. I need it to work on Windows and Linux. Is there such a function in Boost? What is the standard way of doing it? ...
Hey guys, I've been "programming" in PHP for about 3 or 4 years I think, and I think I'm pretty good at it already, so decided to move on to something more complex. I understand that PHP is too flexible (you don't have to declare the type of a variable, for example) and that I'll have to get used to code in such ways. So basically I wa...
I need to create a desktop app that will work with Windows and Gnome(Ubuntu). I would like to use Python to do this. The GUI part of the app will be a single form with a message area and a couple of buttons. The list of GUI's for Python seems overwhelming. I am looking for something simple if possible, the main requirements is it mus...
I'm sure others have run into this problem too... I often watch videos in a small VLC window while working on other tasks, but no matter where the window is placed, I eventually need to access something in the GUI behind it, and have to manually reposition the video window first. This could be solved by having the VLC window snap to an...
In Windows a screen saver is just an executable with a .scr extension dumped in the system32, and it is controlled with three switches (/p, /c and /s, I think). How does screen savers work on Mac OS X and Linux? Do they work similarly in Mac OS X and Linux (Gnome, KDE, Ubuntu, or wherever the difference is) or is it completely different...
How can I make my C++ code cross platform capable? I need it to work on Windows and Xubuntu. ...
I am working on a project where I want users to be able to modify and customize as much as possible. Open source might be a good choice but not due to the fact that I want to keep a few internal classes closed. Two other options that I thought about were plug-ins as external libraries and Lua scripting. The problem with libraries (DLL...
According to sitepoint (a source I typically highly trust) when specifying font-family names some Operating Systems/Browsers may be case-sensitive. I've typically always used mixed-case values but I'm wondering if lower-case values will work just the same? I don't have an overwhelming preference either way - but I'd hate for a page to ...
I have neved did a cross platform development before but the process we currently employ such as doing the development on a Windows machine (as we are mostly a Windows shop) and then actually building the binaries on a Solaris box looks a bit convoluted to me. Can you recomend me a cross compiler so I can limit development tasks to a Wi...
