I've tried various forms of the following: svn diff $@ --diff-cmd /usr/bin/diff -x '-y -w -p -W $COLUMNS' and svn d...
I want to see all of the current environment variables during a build. I'd like to do this in the pre or post-build steps if possible because I don't want to edit the Targets file. This could print to the Output window or to a file. I've tried a number of different ways without success. I'm using Visual Studio 2008. Thanks! ...

I have created a test script that looks like the following: #!/bin/bash cd /home/artemb When I execute the script from the bash shell the current directory doesn't change. Is it possible at all to change...
Hi there folks. Probably a bit off topic question, but it's something I'm really interested in getting to know from other people with different experience and backgrounds. How do you keep track of your huge projects? Do you use subversion? EER-models? Do you write notes? Does all your faith lie in phpdoc? Which framework do you use, and...
On Windows, how can I use Ruby to permanently set an environment variable? I know I need to change the registry (through the win32ole module?) but I am a novice with regard to scripting the registry. I understand that I can say ENV['FOO'] = "c:\bar\baz" to set the environment variable FOO for the session. However, I am instead interes...
To quote the FAQ, 'No question is [...] too "newbie"' What is the best way to set up an Windows system (vista, if that matters) to work with C++? Preferably with a nice IDE, easy compiling of software (support for make files, etc.), but suitable for a beginner. I would quite like the IDE to use a relatively portable format, such as ma...
I want to run JBoss 4.2.3 and JBoss 5.1 on the same server, but not simultaneously. I just need to be able to switch back and forth between the two for testing, so I don't need to change ports or anything like that. My problem is the JBOSS_HOME environment variable. When I set up a /soft/JBoss-4.2.3.GA directory and a /soft/JBoss-5.1.0.G...
I'm investigating how C:\Windows\System32\SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe on Windows 2008 interacts with explorer.exe when updating system environment variables. When updating environment variables this way, explorer.exe will dynamically update its environment block to pick up the changes. I'm aware of multiple ways, to remotely inject en...
On Windows XP, I ran "configure", and Qt says that I'm configured to use phonon, but I'm not sure how to set up my environment correctly in Qt Creator. According to the Qt documentation, I need to call: Set DXSDK_DIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (February 2007) %DXSDK_DIR%\utilities\bin\dx_setenv.cmd C:\program files\Microso...
In this case the application which sets the environment variable is executed in/from the application that needs to access the env.var. The Main() Return Values (C# Programming Guide) msdn article discusses its use within a batch file. If I try the same, everything is fine; but what is required is to run not from a batch script but from w...
We use the environment modules system to manage unix environment variable setting for our platform zoo (irix, solaris, suse, cygwin and others), and to manage different software version sets. The environment modules package uses the $HOME/.modulesbeginenv to capture the initial state of the environment, but if the home directory is shar...
How do I set Perl's %ENV to introduce a Perl script into the context of my web application? I have a website, written in a language different from Perl (Python). However I need to use a Perl application, which consists of a .pl file: #!/usr/bin/env perl "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/foo/bar.pm" =~ /^(.+)$/; require $1; my $BAR =...
Let's say in a Rails app you have some gems that you use in your app (we'll call them "primary gems") and you have vendored them for portability. Let's say that those "primary gems" also require gems of their own - we'll call these "secondary gems". When you are setting up your environment.rb, you have to say: config.gem 'primary-gem...

How would a good setup look like to free me from redeployment...

The file will be long lived and should be the same across sessions, visits, etc. ...
