Tk an Panther
Hi to all, maybe I'm out of topic: his one is more properly a shell programmming problem, but I have no idea about how to install pTk on my apple. I use iBook with Panther (shell: tcsh), I downloaded Tk804.025 beta 14 from cpan and I read the readme.darwin file, in which is written: For Tk804.025 to build properly on Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) or 10.3 (Panther), Perl must be built dynamic, rather that the default of static. Use a Configure incantation similar to this: sh Configure -des -Duseshrplib [-Dprefix=/path/to/your/private/perl] S. Lidie, 2003/10/27 ok. now, I have no idea how to translate the line sh Configure -des -Duseshrplib [-Dprefix=/path/to/your/private/perl] in a real command for me (it is necessary, for example, to set prefix?, can't I use the /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1 diterctory in which are stored all the other perl modules?). someone can help me? thanks a lot, adriano allora
Re: content management question
You can look for PHPNuke too: I've worked on it for a website (the designer needed some help)(and its url is www.norisberghen.it) and I found in that system all you need. adr On Monday, October 14, 2002, at 10:07 AM, Puneet Kishor wrote: Listers, While I wait to resolve perl errors on my Jaguar perl 5.6.0, I have a more generic question re content-management. I want to make a few websites for a few starving artists and galleries starving = zero or tending to zero resources; artists = almost computer illiterates). I have promised them the world in that the websites would be dynamic... visitors would be able to search for artworks based on different criteria, there would be an events calendar, etc. etc. More than anything, once set up, these artists/galleries would be able update the website themselves. After promising all this, I said to myself, Oops!. Additionally, I have to develop these websites on my iBook, and host them on a cheap, server I am going to buy from eBay and install FreeBSD on it. My assumption is the FreeBSD is gonna be the closest to OS X in its directory layout and tools, and therefore not send me on too much of a loop (while these artists view me as a computer god, I am actually a Unix newbie). Here is my thinking -- I should consider using something like MoveableType or even a wiki to make the websites. That would allow the artists to themselves update the content as desired. I could use something like Mason, but I really don't want to get into mod_perl for now (I know Mason can work without mod_perl, but really likes mod_perl around). I want to have a little a standard deviation as possible from the stock installs... read, Apache 1.3.26 and perl 5.6.0 that comes with OS X. I am not averse to MySQL (I know MySQL quite well) but am not comfortable with PostGres (hence, Bricolage/Mason would not be an easy choice for me). MoveableType is really elegant... could it be configured to create an art gallery website? Wiki is perhaps the most elegant in its simplicity... what do you folks feel about that? Any advice much appreciated on any or all aspects of the above. Puneet.
Re: dos2unix... and other
Hi to all, and thank you for the solutions you adviced me about the dos2unix problem (when I saw with the cat command that nvi doesn't change the content files I decided to substitute all the line endings with \n and stop there). Now I have another problem: the 5.6 version perl on jaguar doesn't accept the escape character \s, does it? When I use it in a regexp (s/\s+/\s/g;)(I want it works to singularize all the multi-whitespaces), the Terminal tells me: Unrecognized escape \s passed through at cleaner line 27. adr
Re: dos2unix
On the one hand I didn't express myself very well, but for the other hand I found other aspects of the problem. Actual situation: I work with mac osx.2, vi editor, a pack of dos files to work on. When I open my files with vi I see some strings instead of stressed letters and signs. For instance: carriage return = ^M u grave = \xf9 e grave = \xe8 a grave = \xe0 o grave = \xf2 euro sign = \x80 i grave = \xec BUT, if I write the same letters and signs on the editor, they appears as: carriage return = a grave = \xc3\xa0 e grave = \xc3\xa8 e acute = \xc3\xa9 u grave = \xc3\xb9 i grave = \xc3\xac o grave = \xc3\xb2 euro: \xe2\x82\xac so, I don't know I can face the problem: to create an array of strings to substitute is a non-sense, because of I haven't got two lists in one-to-one correspondence... er, I suppose (I'm not sure). What's yous opinion about? adr PS: I'm particulary grateful to Robin and Ken Williams! : )
dos2unix
hi to all! I need to convert some dos files in unix files, are there commands I can use (like recode)? thanks a lot, adr
