Now I'm sure we're all well aware of the relative merits of Linux vs Windows Desktop. However I've heard much less about the world of embedded development. I'm mainly interested in solutions for industry and am therefore uninterested about the IPhone or Android and more interested in these two OSes. What are the relative trade-offs betw...
hi! I use something like this: screen.addstr(text, color_pair(1) | A_BOLD), but it doesn't seem to work.. However, A_REVERSE and all others attribute does work! In fact, I'm trying to print something in white, but the COLOR_WHITE prints it gray.. and after a while of searching, it seems that printing it gray + BOLD makes it! Any he...
I have a rails app that accepts file uploads and I wanted to know the best way to have common storage between servers. Since we have a number of windows applications we have used samba in the past, but as we build pure linux apps I would like to do this the best possible way. We are expecting large amounts of data, so would need to sca...
When I supply the script with the argument: hi[123].txt it will do exactly what I want. But if I specify the wildcard character ( hi*.txt ) it will be re-reading some files. I was wondering how to modify this script to fix that silly problem: #!/bin/sh count="0" total="0" FILE="$1" #FILE specification is now $1 Specification.. for F...
The execvp() function executes the program that is given as an argument. It checks the $PATH variable to find the program. I'm writing something in which I would like to check to see if several programs exist before calling any exec() functions. What's the best way to do this? ...
Hello. I want to get from any Unix-like system (if this is possible) a unique id that will be persistent every time my application runs in the same machine. If it is possible, I want to get the same id from Linux or FreeBSD or Solaris, etc... I don't want to generate a new id for each machine, but get an already existent id, and I prefe...
Sup bros, Is there anything out there for C++ which displays the class hierarchies as a tree on the left panel? I've been using VisualWorks Smalltalk for a while, and the way that classes are displayed, and methods broken out, makes it very easy to build a mental picture of what the class does. Sadly, I can't find anything similar for...
Hi, how do you go about migrating your (large, important, well-tested) application to a new Linux distribution? Did you do so recently, if so, how did you overcome the problems of large numbers of upgraded components with changed behaviour? How did your build system cope with the overlap when you had to support old and new version? Did ...
I'm playing with an embedded Linux device and looking for a way to get my application code to communicate with a web interface. I need to show some status information from the application on the devices web interface and also would like to have a way to inform the application of any user actions like uploaded files etc. PHP-seems to be a...
First, context: I'm trying to create a command-line-based tool (Linux) that requires login. Accounts on this tool have nothing to do with system-level accounts -- none of this looks at /etc/passwd. I am planning to store user accounts in a text file using the same format (roughly) as /etc/passwd. Despite not using the system-level pass...
Has anyone tried a solution to host ASP classic pages on something else than IIS/Windows? I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to try one of the solutions for that problem. I know about Sun Java System Active Server Pages (or Chilisoft) but haven't tried it. Is there any big problems with those solutions? Does the hosted code need ch...
How to pack python libs I'm using so I can distribute them with my app and have as few dependencies as possible and also not to conflict with different lib/version that is already on my system. L.E.: Sorry i forgot to specify. I will be doing this on linux. And I'm not referring in making my app a installable file like deb/rpm, etc but ...
I am using the following code to set a tray icon in Windows and Linux. It works wonderful in Windows and works okay in Linux. In Linux (Ubuntu) I have my panel set to be (somewhat) transparent and when I add a GIF (with a transparent background) the background of the icon shows up all grey and ugly (see image, green diamond "!")....Any i...
There is an executable that is dynamically linked to number of shared objects. How can I determine, to which of them some symbol (imported into executable) belongs ? If there are more than one possibility, could I silmulate ld and see from where it is being taken ? ...
I don't understand how GCC works under Linux. In a source file, when I do a: #include <math.h> Does the compiler extract the appropriate binary code and insert it into the compiled executable OR does the compiler insert a reference to an external binary file (a-la Windows DLL?) I guess a generic version of this question is: Is ther...
Hi everyone, I've rm'ed a 2.5gb log file - but it doesn't seemed to have freed any space. I did: rm /opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.out then this: df -hT and df reported my /opt mount still at 100% used. Any suggestions? ...
Informed options needed about the merits of flat file database. I'm considering using a flat file database scheme to manage data for a custom blog.

I recently signed up to shared web hosting with godaddy using Linux and PHP 5. I want to work with multiple RSS feeds. I previously had this all functioning under Apache, however, the host supplied the PEAR installation. Now I have to do this myself and I am in unfamiliar territory.I installed PEAR PHP and managed to get rss.php in the...
