I'm packaging a Python project with setuptools and distributing it with easy_install, which allows me to place an executable file in a Scripts directory, hidden away inside the Python directory.

For example, it attempts to execute things like: o hello hello.c When it should be doing: g++ -o hello hello.c So presumably its g++ s...

Hi all, I compiled Emacs 23 on OS X Leopard and I am loving it. But one thing I noticed when I switched from Aquamancs is that I am no longer able to access my environment variables that I specify in my .bash_profile file.

Recently, a senior programmer asked me why his code worked but only for one instance. What I came to find out was that it worked every other occurrence. Here is my example: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my @li...

[Updated] The question is related to the questions GNU Screen: Programmers quotes in Readbuf and GNU Screen: files to numbered buffers?. Since they are not solved, the question targets more general concept about environment variables. My belief is that they are the key to make Screen more efficient. 1. How can I use Bash's variables in ...

We received a new code base that uses environment variables all over the place. They point to things like the project root, assets, different tools, etc. Not the most ideal situation but it works. However, when it comes time to try and run our automated build it becomes a giant pain. Windows seems to instance the environment varia...
