I've found wkhtmltopdf, which looks good on the surface and works fine in very small cases, but it doesn't provide any real css control over the rendering. By that I mean it doesn't use the print media type and page breaks are not respected, as well, on windows you can't control the names of some header/footer variables, or generate a T...
I have a .NET app that is dependent on a native DLL. I have the .NET app set as AnyCPU. In the post-build step, I plan to copy the correct native DLL from some directory (x86 or AMD64) and place it in the target path. However, this doesn't work. On a 64-bit machine, the environment variable PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE is "x86" in Visual Stu...
I would like to know if there is any way that I could build a very simple GUI app (it doesn't even have to look good) that will run on a fresh install of Windows Vista and OS X with no other installations needed by the user. I would perfer not to use Java (just out of personal programming preference). I will use it though, if it is the o...
Hi, im starting a new project and for the first time i want to be cross-platform. But the tricky is my project would involve listen server, cryptos etc., etc. So i was wondering what is the best solution for cross-platform development (OpenSSL, instead of MSCrypto etc.) that would be easy to write with VS2010 (yeah the RC). The language ...
I want to start writing platform independent and open source code (mostly C++). What do I have to consider when doing so? Stop using IDEs and use makefiles from now on? What do all the "professional" open source coders do (like the guys behind GNU) and what tools do they use? I'm especially interested into developing shared libraries. Ho...
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good cross platform input library? I'd like to get: * at least keyboard and mouse input * on at least the big three operating systems * Small/fast * C or C++ * permissive licensing gpl2/mit/free/etc. So far I've seen: * OIS (used in Ogre) http://sourceforge.net/projects/wgois/ * SDL (used everyw...
Hi, so far, my night has been extremely frustrating, trying to learn CMake. However, I'm slowly getting there. There are a couple of things bugging me though: 1) Additional Library Directories I can either have this: CMake: link_directories ("../../YoghurtGum/bin") Output: AdditionalLibraryDirectories="..\..\YoghurtGum\bin\$(OutDir),...
I need as simple as possible solution for uploading files (eg. photos) to my website from mobile devices (iPhone, Android, BB, Nokia). Is it possible to do it in same way? Using Java or XHTML? ...
Does anyone know of any tool that can facilitate/ease porting of an app to both Java Swing and GWT? I've got a few "screens" that makes complete sense to have both in a desktop app and in a browser and I was wondering if there was some kind of common API that could be targetted that would facilitate creating these two different "views" ...
I wonder what library would ease the development of a cross-platform service/daemon ? (C/C++) I'm targeting: Windows, Linux and OS X. Requirements: network operations and serial port communication. Also it would be nice to have a basic sample service application. ...
I am looking for something analogous to CreateEvent(), SetEvent() and WaitForMultipleObjects() from the Win32 world. Specifically this has to be accessible across processes on the same machine. We are already using Poco for some cross platform stuff, but I don't see that the Poco::Event is what I want. perhaps i am missing something. ...
Based on this question I am going to use Poco::NamedEvent, but I need to wait for multiple events (like win32 WaitForMultipleObjects() Is there such a thing in poco? (searching the docs doesn't yield much but perhaps I am not using the right searches) ...
I'm writing a Linux program that currently compiles and works fine on x86 and x86_64, and now I'm wondering if there's anything special I'll need to do to make it work on other architectures. What I've heard is that for cross platform code I should: Don't assume anything about the size of a pointer, int or size_t Don't make assumption...
Hello all, I am just starting to learn JNI. I have been following a simple example, and I have created a Java app that calls a Hello World method in a native library. I'd like to target Win32 and Linux x86. My library resides in a DLL, and I can call it just fine using LoadLibrary when the DLL is added to the root of my Eclipse proje...
I work on a Mercurial repository that is checked out onto an Unix filesystem such as ext3 on some machines, and FAT32 on others. In Subversion, I can set the svn:executable property to control whether a file should be marked executable when checked out on a platform that supports such a bit. I can do this regardless of the platform I'm ...
Our publishing workflow includes Windows and Linux machines (there are some Macs too, but not in the critical-path workflow). Many texts include both English and Khmer and are marked-up in XML. XML Copy Editor is the best cross-platform open-source XML editor I've discovered. It utilizes the Scintilla editing component, which is general...
I have written a Java GUI using SWT. I package the application using an ANT script (fragment below). <jar destfile="./build/jars/swtgui.jar" filesetmanifest="mergewithoutmain"> <manifest> <attribute name="Main-Class" value="org.swtgui.MainGui" /> <attribute name="Class-Path" value="." /> </manifest> <fileset dir="./build/c...
hi, I need to write quickly this application: a simple window that wraps a web browser control, that runs html pages. The Browser UI (e.g. Navigation buttons) should be suppressed. As a .net developer, I would embed the WebBrowser OCX in a Windows Form. But this has to run on Mac as well!! I found the following cross-platform candidat...
I use JButtons in my application. They need to have different colors. First I used that btn.setBackground(col);. It works on my computer and on another computer my button just gray (not red, as it's supposed to be). Trying to solve this problem I decided to use images. I do it in the following way: tmp = new JButton(newIcon); Again, it...
I've just found out that getopt is not cross-platform (in particular for FreeBSD and Linux). What is the best workaround for this issue? ...
