Re: how does the C pre-processor interface with make?
Oliver Mahmoudi wrote:
Hey folks,
I was wondering how the C pre-processor interfaces with make. Let's suppose
that I have a little C program, something along the lines of:
#include stdio.h
int
main()
{
#ifdef FOO
fprintf(stdout, Hi, my name is foo.\n);
#endif
#ifdef BAR
fprintf(stdout, Hi, my name is bar.\n);
#endif
fprintf(stdout, I am always here.\n);
return(1-1);
}
It is easy to control the pre-processor in the above code by defining the
respective terms or leaving them out, however,
I am trying to control the conditionals from out of a makefile.
This is essentially the way in which the kernel sources are compiled.
Any suggestions?
Yes. You have to define your FOO and BAR variables on the cc(1) command
line using the -D flag, based on the equivalent settings in make. Supposing
your little program is held in a file wibble.c, then in your Makefile you'ld
need something like this to compile and link it into a program called wibble:
.if defined(FOO)
CFLAGS+= -DFOO
.endif
.if defined(BAR)
CFLAGS+= -DBAR
.endif
wibble: wibble.c
${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} ${.ALLSRC} -o ${.TARGET}
Then you'ld invoke make(1) as:
% make -DFOO -DBAR wibble
or define FOO and BAR in the shell environment, which make(1) should pick
up.
Cheers,
Matthew

Just to check I also tried to su toor with root passwd - no access. Please can somebody clarify if toor does indeed have passwd. By default, the account is locked. Look at /etc/master.passwd -- the toor entry probably looks like this: toor:*:0:0::0:0:Bourne-again Superuser:/root: That '*' in the second field means there's simply no possibility of login using a password. In this case, everything is fine. If it's a string of dollar signs and alphanumerics like this: $1$salt$qJH7.N4xYta3aEG/dfqo/0 then the account does have a real password. This is probably OK, if you want to be able to log in as toor directly. [Before anyone gets excited and tries to break into any of my machines, no that isn't a real crypted password from my master.passwd file. It's created like this: % perl -le 'print crypt(password, \$1\$salt\$)' ] If there's nothing in the second field, then you have a problem, as that means the account has a NULL password (ie. just hit return when prompted for a password -- this is what 'logins -p' detects). That may or may not actually work to get into the toor account depending on how you're trying to authenticate and on various other security settings eg. in /etc/pam.d, but even so it is something that should be fixed pronto.

Re: re-write is this booting info correct?

Now on the DOS command line you do have to use the : to change to different drive, like in to change to A: drive. Yes, the fdisk program acts that way. Adding : after the drive letter (as a capital letter) is a thing you usually see in any documentation, like this erases you C: drive or check floppy in A: and B: to make sure they are present. The correct word as displayed in the fdisk program is 'logical dos drives' just the way i have it. Okay, then Laufwerk and drive are corresponding correctly. Then it's a logical drive inside an extended DOS partition. I will remember this, thanks for checking! back in win3.1 days a 20MG hard drive was the largest made at the time. I'm _sure_ it was a 20MB hard disk, maybe just a typo? :-) And for the rewrite: The Microsoft/Windows fdisk program is used to allocate partitions on the hard drive. This program allocated two types of partitions “primary dos partition” and “extended dos partition”. DOS means “disk operating system” which was the precursor to the Microsoft/Windows desktop GUI “graphical user interface” first appearing in Win 3.1. You should have DOS in caps always, as in primary DOS partition. An alternate method is to allocate an “extended dos partition” and then sub-divide it into logical dos drives lettered C, D, E, F. And it is possible to have a bootable system without a primary DOS partition? I hardly can imagine that - but don't bet on my opinion, I've NEVER used any Windows, so I'm honestly just guessing. A typical multi-drive setting would contain a primary DOS partition C:, and an extended DOS partition containing the logical drives D:, E: and F: (for your 4-drive example). The FreeBSD ‘disk label’ program is used to sub-divide the slice into smaller chunks called partitions. The program's name is disklabel or bsdlabel respectively. This hard drive 512-byte MBR is where all the limitations are. Due to its size the MBR partition table is limited to 4 entries. This means no matter how large your hard drive is (20MG or 200GB) you can only sub-divide it into a maximum 4 slices/partitions. I'm sure you wanted to say 20MB - megaBytes. :-) The FreeBSD fdisk program has option to write a simple boot menu program to the MBR. Its called the FreeBSD boot manager. The program boot0cfg does this. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

(I'm using caps here to refer to the DOS nomenclature) The number is de-facto limited to 26 maximum for ALL drive letters - keyword is LETTER: A up to Z. A: and B: are reserved for floppy disk drives, C: is the booting partition (usually a primary DOS partition), D: up to Z: can be: - other primary partitions - optical drives - fake drives refering to directories (SUBST command) - external drives (INTERLNK / INTERSVR commands) The order of the drives is somewhat arbitrary, so you can't always predict drive letter behaviour. In all of these, you can't access more than one Primary Partition from any DOS-based OS; if you wish to have drives D:, E:, F: (etc) then these _must_ be in the single Extended Partition - so your statement above is not correct in that respect. I'm not sure about this. It's long time ago, so my brain isn't up to date anymore. :-) When I try to remember, I have the idea in mind that it WAS possible to partition a drive with primary partitions (max. 4). I'll check this - and I actually CAN, because I still have a DOS machine (6.22) running well; it's mostly used for programming mobile radios and for disk operations in a museal content (robotron resurrection). :-) An alternate method is to allocate an extended dos partition and then sub-divide it into logical dos drives lettered C, D, E, F. One of these Not limited to F: as above (adding the DOS colon as Polytropon suggests) My suggestion comes from documentation where C: is preferred to C (in context of drive letters), like The C: drive is the booting drive, or On floppy A: you'll find no files. I'm not sure about NT, but certainly DOS 3 to 7 cannot boot from other than drive C: - though DOS Drive C: need not be the first physical disk partition, indeed there can be several, though only the first one marked Active is called C: by DOS on any one boot. DOS doesn't provide a native means for boot selection, so this statement appears to be correct in relation to my memories.

The xdm package issues a IPV6 DHCP request. While the xdm man page suggests this is not needed: To disable listening for XDMCP connections altogther, a line of LISTEN with no addresses may be specified, or the previously supported method of setting DisplayManager.requestPort to 0 may be used. This seems not to be the case as adding this line gets rid of the long delay and suppresses the IPV6 DHCP request. The DisplayManager.requestPort is set to 0 in the default configuration. This solves the long start (I am pretty sure). Thank you for your suggestions that pushed me to find this. I was wrong about this. With this change xdm started fine from the command line and took perhaps even longer when started from /etc/ttys. This describes 7.4_1 behavior. Hmm. That sounds like a bug (maybe IPV6 support being added but the feature to disable it being forgotten). Does having an IPV6 localhost defined in /etc/hosts (::1 localhost) have the same effect? I am also pretty sure my hardware just does not work with hal and dbus. What keyboard and mouse do you have? Also, which version of FreeBSD are you using? All these issues are with xorg 7.4_1.

One contains a whole bunch of channels, the other only two: Front and PCM. It turns out that the simpler pane (front and pcm) controls the volume when you issue a: # kldload snd_hda and this was naturally the pane that I was paying attention to, even when loading via /boot/loader.conf. When all suggestions failed, I turned my attention to the other pane and noticed that OGain was muted. I unmuted the OGain channel and now I have sound even when I load snd_hda via /boot/loader.conf (with hw.snd.default_unit=0, i.e. its default setting). However, in contrast to what happens when I do a kldload, when loading via /boot/loader.conf the other more detailed pane (containing the OGain control) now controls the volume.

Hello, For the Intel processors VT support, you can check up on http://ark.intel.com/VTList.aspx go for no less than dual-core 8400. and for the AMD desktop processors, here: http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUResult.aspx and some of new X4 phenoms.

First building the system does indeed solve all xorg package problems. Second I am not sure I agree with your statement. I think the answer is relatively easy: (1) build packages against the base release, or, (2) document the problem, or lastly (3) have the port management tools check for this. While I am not sure if (3) is possible, I am pretty sure (2) is. Anyway X and its successor Xorg is at once the great leveler and I have learned more about FreeBSD getting my Desktops going than any other single activity. I appreciate all the time you spent leading me to the solution. Bouncing thoughts and ideas with you was most helpful. I wanted to post my original comment and this to make explicit that a version 7 package will not necessarily work on a 7.2 system. I certainly do not have the knowledge to know what system libraries a port is built on. This was actually quite easy to find because of the error. If there is no error you are left doing a ktrace or something. By the way have gotten the error and figuring out that libc was involved, I did not understand the implication, I had help there. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
