I'm using GNU make, and including a 3rd party library in a project that has a build system that goes berserk if CFLAGS is defined in the environment when it is called. I like to have CFLAGS defined in my environment for other reasons. The library's build is being invoked from another makefile, so that I say e.g.: 3rdparty: $(MAKE)...
For a while now, I've been noticing that my MacPorts-installed Apache2 instance hasn't been starting when I start up (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2042992/macports-apache2-stopped-launching-on-boot). The LaunchDaemon is loaded. Today I bumped into something in a log file that may point to an answer, but I can't find any confirmatio...

hey all, I have a crontab running every hour... The user running it has evironment vars in the .bash_profile that work when the user runs the job from the terminal.

In my project, a number of paths to various directories, files and other components of the system are stored as #defines in a filenames.h, a file included by all that need them. It works well for all the various binaries generated by compilation, but the project also includes a few shell scripts that use the same paths. Currently this me...

Here's a quickie that I assume has a simple answer (maybe? Hopefully?), but I just can't find one: I'm using the "cake" console in cakephp on Mac OS X 10.6.2. How do I set up the environment variable (or PATH?) so that all I need to type in terminal is "cake"... as opposed to the full path to the console app? I'm unabashedly a newb wh...

When including files into MASM32, it cannot find it's own files. After including masm32rt.inc, the assembler cannot find \masm32\include\windows.inc Apparently most MASM system include files begin with \ instead of specyfing a relative or absolute path. I tried specifying the directory in %PATH%, setting the /I compile switch, and sett...

An example of one of the paths is: %APPDATA%\Vendor\Product\settings.ini So if I create a console application/windows service and run it under my account on my ma...
I've got a few csh scripts where I need to check that certain environment variables are set before I start doing stuff, so I do this sort of thing: if ! $?STATE then echo "Need to set STATE" exit 1 endif if ! $?DEST then echo "Need to set DEST" exit 1 endif which is a lot of typing. Is there a more elegant idiom for c...
Currently, I use Path.GetTempPath() to figure out where to write my log files, but recently I came across a user's machine where the path returned was not what I expected. Usually, the returned path is C:\Documents and Settings\[userid]\Local Settings\Temp but in this case, it was C:\Temp This would not normally be a problem, but for s...
