I've created a svn repositoy on a linux server (Debian) and used a client on a windows machine to check my java sources in. Now I've set up a Hudson server on a different linux server (Ubuntu) to periodically run tests on my code. But the tests fail with a compiler error: Error: unmappable character for encoding ASCII On my windows ...
How should I approach implementing a USB device driver for Windows? How should I take into account different versions of windows e.g: - Windows XP - Windows Vista - Windows 7 Is there open source solutions which could be used as a starting point? I'm a total newbie to windows driver development. We have an embedded device with USB d...
Simple question here (though perhaps not such a simple answer): Is it possible to specify a path for an (existing) named pipe that can be used by programs as if they were opening on a normal file? According to this MSDN page, name pipes on the local computer can be referrenced using the following path syntax: \\.\pipe\PipeName, yet I'm...
After playing around with NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Installation System) for a few days, I really feel the pain it's use brings me. No wonder, the authors claim it's scripting implementation is a "mixture of PHP and Assembly". So, I hope there is something better to write installation procedures to get Windows programs installed, while ...
Is there a function that returns when the other end successfully called ReadFile on the pipe. I have 2 application communicating on a named pipe, one sends a request on the pipe using WriteFile and expects an answer so it calls ReadFile. The problem is that the application is reading its own request as the answer since the other end did ...
We are developing a web-based point-of-sale application, which, while it mostly runs in a browser, also requires integration with hardware devices such as credit card readers. In order to provide hardware integration, we have implemented several simple ActiveX controls in C++ using ATL. We are not experienced Windows developers, and are...
Hi, I installed ruby 1.9.1p243 (2009-07-16 revision 24175) [i386-mingw32] on my Windows XP laptop. When I run ruby.exe I get a blank DOS Shell window. No expected "irb(main):001:0>" at the top left of the command prompt. I can type into the shell but, any code I type in actually does anything when pressing enter. I should mention tha...
In Windows, how can I keep track of the file mapping objects created by CreateFileMapping()? Basically I want to know how many memory mapped files are in use and the information like their names, sizes, etc. Thanks! ...
I have some files of fixed line size, fixed field size that I need to extract information from. Nornmally, I'd use Cygwin (cut et al), but that's not an option in this case due to (boneheaded) management policies I can't change. It has to be done using standard XP toolset included with Windows. I need to extract the 10 characters at off...
Hi I would like to know a way of deleting a read only file using a batch file or a command. Suppose i have a dll abc.dll and i am trying to delete this dll using the following command in a batch file del "C:\test\abcd.dll". It does not allow me to do that and it throws access denied message. However if i change the read only attribute ...
So I'm using libsvn on windows in a C++ application. I have several svn trees with which I'm using the api. I assume the whole initialization and setup is correct since all other operations work as expected. I use svn_client_log4 (also tried svn_client_log with exactly the same results) and usually when my callback is called, I get the ...
Hi! Windows 7 (may be Vista too) has the hotkey to change display orientation (Ctrl+Alt+[Up, down, left, right]). This hotkey correlates with the one of my IDE. So I would like to disable windows's action on pressing. Does any body now how to disable it? ...
I need to open an url from my application, on both linux and windows and i want to avoid replacing an existing page on an open browser. How do i call for it to open? I know i can use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://mysite.com"); which should also work under linux, but this will replace any page shown on an already open brow...

I get WM-IME-COMPOSITION and then WM-KEYUP, but never the WM-KEYDOWN. So, the bottom line is.. I need to get keycode when i receive WM-IME-COMPOSITION. Is there a way to do so? Any hel...
When using the function: D3DXSaveTextureToFile and passing in D3DXIFF_BMP to create a bmp I've noticed that the values seem to be estimated rather than given specifically. Correct me if I'm wrong but a floating point texture can store any float in any given texel which would put it outside the range of a BMP which is stuck between rgb(2...
I am looking for a sniffer that can work with the loopback address in Windows. So far, I found Microsoft Network Monitor which is a nice tool, but for localhost it's useless because on Windows, localhost packets don't pass through the regular network stack, so they're invisible to an ethernet sniffer like MS Network Monitor. How do you...
