[newbie] Newbie qmake configuration for Md 9.1

2003-07-26 Thread Frank Roberts - SOTL
Hi All

If one desires to use compile Qt programs with Md 9.1 one should be aware that 
as usual a few files were left off the distribution CD.

This time the one of the critical files is libqt.so. 

Attached is a newbie configuration that will compile the simple helloworld.cpp 
program from O'Reilly. Program Is attached. This configuration may or may not 
compile the more advanced hello.cpp program found in the examples. 

My personal feelings on this is it should work on the hell.cpp program but it 
have not tested it yet.

The following files were altered.
1. /home/{user}/.baschrc
2. /usr/lib/qt3/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf

Copies of the modifies files follows.

Newbies please note:  When one test a configuration file it is best to make an 
original copy and a test copy. I usually use {for Mandrake 9.1} 
file_name.Original-Md91 and file_name.test_copy. This will save you a lot 
of grief.

Hi All

Every now and again emotions exceed politeness to such an extent that pasions 
are inflamed beyond tolerance.

Oh well I guess that is why the linux gods created email filters.

Lets see now.

 that actually came with a real install disk.  Every one has a recovery
 disk, and if you do use the disk to recover your trashed windows each one
 will format the hd and return the system to exactly what it was when it
 came from the factory.  If you dual boot (or quad boot as I do with one
 machine at work), you can't use the windisk supplied with the machine or
 your multi-boot will be toast.  The Windows tax paid gets a useless
 recovery disk--gripes me to no end, especially when I have to dual boot
 because of legacy apps that won't run on NT/W2K.  These suckers trash W98
 and DOS dual boots as well as Linux--they're non-discriminatory in that
 regard.

I do not know which system manufacture you have but I do know about this IBM 
Thinkpad A30P. 
I know! I learned the hard way.

1. You do not need anything but Mandrake to repartition the HD.

2. You can reinstall Windows XP home or professional from by recovery disk 
after you reposition the HD.

3. You can reinstall Windows by either formating the HD (Windows partition 
only) or install Windows as a recovery which does leave all the programs on 
the HD.

[newbie] QMAKESPEC Configuration

2003-07-07 Thread Frank Roberts - SOTL
Hi All

Being a newbie at writing programs the idea of setting up a compiler is a 
little bit daunting.

Currently I am trying to configure QMAKESPEC as per Q3 Assistant but 
unfortunately I am having a bit of a comprehension problem.

I would thus appreciate it if some kind person that has qmake functioning 
correctly would send me their copy of QMAKESPEC.

For me this file is located at:
/usr/lib/qt3/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf

For thouse who are not following this all the files located in:
/usr/lib/qt3/mkspecs/
are QMAKESPEC files each for a different stile of installation.

The principal issues I am having concern what is required in the locations 
where a reference directory is not shown.

Thanks
Frank

Re: [newbie] Canon Cameras. . .

2003-07-03 Thread Frank Roberts - SOTL
Hi All  especially Greg  Todd 

To me this is unbelievable.

Md 9.1 is easer to use in one aspect than MS.

No! I am not loosing my mind. Linux has always been more vestal, more 
stable, and more useful but more friendly never.

I have a Canon s200 camera. 
In order to down load the images in Md 9.1 the first time I plug the camera in 
to the USB port, turned it on, configured the camera under KDE Control Panel 
- Peripherals, switched to GTCam (gphoto 2), and downloaded the pictures.

In order to download the same images in MS the first time I had to fiddle 
around for half a day finding tone correct driver from Canon which I tried to 
copy to a floppie only to findout that it had to be installed on line, then 
set up the drive and some more fiddling before I could finally down load the 
images.

The simplicity of linux was unbelievable compared to MS.

Incredible

[newbie] Canon Cameras. . .

2003-07-02 Thread Frank Roberts - SOTL
Hi All 

I noticed Greg and Stephen posting concerning Canon Cameras so I accelerated 
my setup of my Canon S200 on my Thinkpad on the Mandrake 9.1 side.

I connected the camera, turned it one, and started searching for how to 
download the pictures.

First I noticed that Hard Drake found that there was a Canon camera connected 
to the USB port but I did not recognize the model.

Following this I was unable to find any program among my list of 28 Multimedia 
Graphics programs I have installed. 
I have a few more installed than in a standard installation.  

Thus I would appreciate if someone could be a bit more explicit in what is 
required for download camera images.

One additional item XSane is installed but not configured yet. Is this 
required?

Thanks
Frank
