Can it be expected that double-clicking on an image file located in the user hard disk will honor the autorun, or maybe some distributions or desktop environments might ignore the autorun and just...

(btw, just a quick reply-to-myself, I just imagined another possible way: make it as a self-extracting script or executable that extracts all the app directory hierarchy to a temp dir, runs it from...

Hi,

I'd like to ship Linux apps in a similar way as in OSX because I love the "app bundle" concept. I know Linux doesn't support "app-bundles" directly, but I believe there must be an approach...

My wish of having "app bundles" on any OS I choose from today on is both from a user perspective, and from a developer perspective:

a) From a user perspective: One of my favorite things about OSX...

Hi,

First of all, I'd wish that this discussion stays away from flamewars against any OS. I say this because I've almost discarded Ubuntu as my next OS, but I don't pretend any flamewar, just a...

I was going to buy the newest Mac Mini, for using it with both OSX and Ubuntu. However, although I love its specs, the new model lacks discrete GPU, and I really want a discrete GPU.

Do you know...

Worked like a charm, thanks.

Hi,

I'm on Precise Pangolin 12.04 LTS

I've a lot of custom code which outputs text as ISO-8859-1 encoding to the Terminal.

I installed such encoding, and made it the default. I verified...

I confirm that this one works on OSX. The origin of the problem was that OSX sed comes from -of course- BSD sed, and BSD sed isn't GNU sed.

So, I need a line that works both on BSD sed and on GNU...

Finally, the best workaround I found to this issue is to install again the 64 bit packages (which implies uninstalling the 32bit ones), and do these manual links at /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu :

sudo...

Thanks for the information, didn't know it's fixed on 12.10. Anyway, if possible I prefer to stay on 12.04 because an LTS release fits in my workflow better.

I found there's already a filed bug...

I never used pbuilder on previous Ubuntu releases, and it was really easy for me to build for both 32bit and 64bit. Just install all the 64bit and the 32bit support, and then you only need to call...

This question is more related to installation than development, but given that it affects compiling, and that maybe some users here faced this same problem, I'm asking it here hoping somebody can...

After searching a bit, I didn't find anybody talking about this issue, but however I found that it seems to be possible to install packages without uninstalling the other packages they wish to...

You're right spjackson, I didn't think of that possibility, it's more reasonable to send all the gcc stdout from all calls to a single output file rather than using sed.

Well, the only reason for...

Hi,

In Maverick Meerkat (64 bit version) I successfully installed everything I needed for compiling for both 32bit and 64bit targets.

I'm almost there with Precise Pangolin, but there's a place...

Although this gcc solution looks smart, however it requires a different dependency file for each source file... this would require huge changes in my source tree, across all makefiles, because I use...

I think it's not the \+ extension, but there's some issue with the backslash in the shell (if I use \t to specify the tab character, it thinks I'm referring to the 't' character, so it definitely...

I'm currently working on both Ubuntu and OSX, but however I only tried it on my OSX box because that's what I've currently on my hands. If I execute your code on the OSX Terminal (with copy and...

The behaviour you describe is what I want, but that oneliner didn't work for me, I suppose it's an issue with backslashes.

After some time of trial and error, I arrived to this solution, which...

Hi,

I wish to pipe a dependency file generated with 'gcc -M' through sed, because I'm on a source tree where object files are generated on a build subdirectory.

Basically, I want to change...

Thanks a lot for all your advice! Summing it up, I think it's best to always build from the root directory, because I prefer not to have Makefiles in the object code directories, but just on source...

I have a library whose code is split in several directories. The code is multiplatform, and I can compile for several architectures from a single host (for example, when on Linux I can compile for...

Hi,

I'm currently on Maverick 10.10, and I wished to stay with this version for a long time because I'm liking it a lot.

However, the shipped compilers are gcc 4.4.x, and I've read that this...

The solution I found is to download the precompiled versions available at the mingw-w64 sourceforge page. You don't need to install them system-wide, you can put them in any directory you wish,...
