[SLUG] Re: Mandrake Installation and HDD Troubles
Hiya Brian, This may not be the answer, but I had a similar install problem the first time with Mandrake. In my instance, the CD drive slowed and stopped/stalled (I know you didn't mention this) The CD-ROM drive "seemed" okay, but when I replaced the CD-ROM drive for a newer one, the install was fine. Thought I'm mention this just in case... Additionally, I read once (somewhere), a suggestion to use a Live CD to see if the HDD can be access, in the event this is the problem.

So this is just "normal" C, with no dependencies on the Windows API? Or is this code that requires a substantial chunk of Windows to run? When you say you need it to compile on Linux, is that to imply that you need it to *run* on Linux? If it's just compiling, then I heard a rumour that the "express" version (the compiler, without the IDE) of VS worked on Wine. If it's a case of turning your Windows app into a Linux app, winebuild might be the place to start. It generates a Makefile that uses wineg++ et al to build and link your program against winelib. It may or may not be able to do what you want, but it's worth a look. It's part of the standard wine tree.

You are doomed. I think MSVC can export a Makefile, but its a microsoft nmake specific Makefile that no other make will touch. I have a similar problem making sure libsndfile and libsamplerate compile on win32. The easiest solution for me is to use autoconf/automake/libtool which works ofor all major unices, MacOSX and Win32 using MinGW or Cygwin.

True, it is pretty obscure. Bash thinks of everything in tokens, and
only evaluates things once. Usually a token is separated by a space,
but putting quotes (") around the string changes that rule. So take
the example below
AVARIABLE="this is"
VAR="$AVARIABLE \"a string\""
bash goes through and evaluates VAR *once* according to it's rules
which, in this case leaves VAR looking like (tokens separated by a |)
|this|is|"a|string"|
you need to "re-evaluate" this to convert it to
|this|is|a string|

No, bash will convert that to ""Temporary Internet Files"" which is
also wrong.

yes, because \"this is a spacy name\" will be evaulated by bash and
hence form a single token.

Re: [SLUG] Digital TV Tuner Cards On Linux?
My boss is trying to get this exact service working under FreeBSD (Linux cannot be more difficult) with varying degree of success. He was talking to the authors of the TV-tuner card driver directly, they have been of tremendous help. I do know he has managed to run Myth??? (I think) under X-server, got the TV-tuner card to run, change channels, etc. None of this was exceptionally smooth, but was not difficult either. I know the TIVO-like software he runs can get the TV listings for free-to-air channels off the net, as well as weather reports, news, etc. He was still struggling to get the IR to work, improve TV reception and the compression quality, etc... I can try and get more information if necessary. As the previous poster has said, be careful of what you buy, do your research before hand. See if you can get a good returns policy, because driver availability/quality on Linux can be a very tricky proposition. I would suggest coming up with a list of cards and checking the forums to see how helpful the authors of drivers for these cards are, because if you run into issues you will definedly want to have a card which has a very vibrant community following.

[SLUG] Prblem with bash and rsync
all, I have a weird problem with a bash script and rsync (its a snapshot style backup script). Somewhere in the script I create the command: ... ... COMMAND="$RSYNC -rlptgoD --delete --delete-excluded --exclude .snapshot --exclude \"Temporary Internet Files\" /$d/ $TARGET" if [ $DEBUG == 1 ]; then $ECHO $COMMAND; fi $COMMAND ... ... Now if I execute the command (which is displayed by the debug statement) using copy and paste into a XTERM it works. If I take out the --exclude "Temporary Internet Files" it works. But if I run the command through the script I get: Rsyncing /home/rsa/ /root/test/home/rsa/hourly.0 /usr/bin/rsync -rlptgoD --delete --delete-excluded --exclude .snapshot --exclude "Temporary Internet Files" /home/rsa/ /root/test/home/rsa/hourly.0 link_stat "/usr/local/backup/Internet" failed: No such file or directory IO error encountered - skipping file deletion rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(633) Error rsyncing home/rsa Now I have tried: --exclude \"\"Temporary Internet Files\"\" --exclude Temporary\ Internet\ Files --exclude \"Temporary\ Internet\ Files\" and many other ways.

Hi Russell, You can find a database of compatible printers from www.linuxprinting.org. I would tend to recommend the HP laserjets, I am pretty sure the 1015 works with linux. OK, I checked that myself and it only works partially due to some firmware bug. bugger. so maybe you are stuck with a kyocera fs1010. they work ok as printers and will work fine in linux. http://linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Kyocera-FS-1010 tho that would be $475 worth of printer. maybe with some digging and cross referencing to computer vendor sites you can do better... cups would be the way to go. dave -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
