Installing phpMyAdmin on Linux 02/10/2004 08:04 PM
GeekSpeek tells us how to set up phpMyAdmin on Linux."Some of its current capabilities include the ability to create and drop databases, create , drop, and alter tables, execute SQL statements, delete, edit, and add fields, manage keys on fields, and manage privileges. In addition, it has the ability to export your data in a number of different formats. phpMyAdmin is an excellent tool and will make the life of any MySQL database administrator much more enjoyable.

Compiling away my weekends

Compiling away my weekends 09/06/2004 09:54 PM

I spent a good part of Sunday recompiling many popular open source libraries (i.e. iconv, libxml, libxslt, xmlsec, openssl, zlib, etc.) as Win32 static multithreaded libraries without C runtime DLL name dependency (/MT) so I can use them in VC7.1 projects.  All because some guy at Microsoft decided to change the C runtime DLL name from fixed MSVCRT.DLL to version-based names like MSVCR70.DLL.

When that happend, popular open source tools and libraries got stuck with Visual C++ 6.  Binaries of Python and all the libraries I mentioned above, for example, are built with VC6 and links to C runtime library dynamically (meaning they require MSVCRT.DLL).  This means Win32 Python extensions couldn't be built with later versions of VC++ without walking into a lot of headaches.  Same problem stopped me from using prebuilt binaries of those libraries so I had to rebuild them myself.

I bent a few things and had to guess at a few places, but nothing seems to be broken.  Only trouble is that I am using WinInet to fetch XML files from Internet and it ain't behaving too well.  WinHTTP is supposed to be better but I think I'll opt for cURL instead.  Of course, that means I'll have more compiling to do next weekend.  Urgh.

Update:

Heh.  I didn't realize the weekend wasn't over yet until my wife informed me that today was the Labor Day.  To celebrate, I labored some more after a mini-vacation at the neighborhood pool with my wife and son.  cURL had Win32 project files so it was a cinch to build.  I did have to turn on OpenSSL and ZLib though to get HTTPS and gzip compression working (define USE_OPENSSL, HAVE_ZLIB, and HAVE_ZLIB_H flags).  Now I can reliably pull compressed RSS feeds over HTTPS from a Win32 client.

BTW, all these chores wouldn't have been necessary if I wrote it in Java or .NET because both platforms have most of these libraries built in.  So why am I humping the sidewalk?  Well, there are still things one can do with C++ that you can't do with Java or .NET...

Lexicon: CC-licensed RPG based on
compiling fictional encyclopedia 04/15/2005 09:01 PM
Cory Doctorow: Morbus Iff sez, "Ghyll is a Creative Common licensed player-created world per the rules of "Lexicon: an RPG" (think: a fictional wikipedia, constrained by integration, consecutive letter definitions, and cranky scholars that write before 'before scholarly pursuits became professionalized (or possibly after they ceased to be)'). It has reached nearly 30 players, 200 pages of text, an incredibly large timeline, a hundred characters, and a to-scale ASCII map of the known world. Darkly humorous? Possible. Odd? Mmhmmm. All CC? Ayup.

"We're starting Round 2 next month (in essence, starting over again at letter A to further define the world). Notes about the announcement here, as well as links to the timeline, characters, and ASCII map." Link (Thanks, Morbus!)

Santa Brings MS Patents for Editing,
Compiling Code 12/28/2004 02:51 PM
theodp writes "Courtesy of the USPTO, Microsoft found two new patents under the tree this holiday season. The first covers Editing a software program in a common language runtime environment, while the second lays claims to Compiling multiple source language files that share a common library, which must come as a real shocker to members of the DEC OpenVMS Common Language Environment, IBM Language Environment (LE), and IBM Integrated Language Environment (ILE) teams. Gotta teach those patent examiners to use Wikipedia instead of Microsoft Encarta for their prior art searches! "

What to do before installing Panther

What to do before installing Panther 10/29/2003 12:10 AM
With Panther's launch date coming quickly (this Friday!), I thought it was a good time to remind you what to do before making a major OS update. It's a scary time for a lot of people, especially switchers who may never have done something of this scale to their Mac before. but, the grass is green on the other side--Panther really kicks.

Installing psycopg on Red Hat 9

Installing psycopg on Red Hat 9 12/31/2003 12:20 AM

Adrian Holovaty and I spent some time today figuring out how to get the psycopg Postgres module to install on Red Hat 9. It took a while, but eventually we tweaked the spec file and used it to compile our own RPM. I've posted our modified spec file to the psycopg mailing list. More for my own record than anything else, the arcane incantations needed to create the RPM went roughly as follows:

1. Copy the modified psycopg.spec file in to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
2. Copy psycopg-1.1.11.tar.gz in to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
3. In the SPECS directory, run rpmbuild -ba psycopg.spec
4. Install the resulting RPM, which materialised in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS

The above was recreated by digging through my bash history - hopefully I haven't missed a step. The technique appears to work for Fedora as well.
