Today..... I got my sound card working in linux, compiled a sample C++
program to verify the compiler worked, and later compiled a more elaborate,
though still small (1 source file and no OO stuff except iostreams) tool to
manage some Web related stuff for me.
Experimented somemore with GIMP and made a cool "made with Kwrite" button
for putting on Web pages -- check out http://members.xoom.com/derbyshire16/
sometime after an hour from now.
Also installed a bunch of useful stuff -- in order of importance starting
with the most -- xfractint, Amaya, and a Java runtime.
Say, any clue why a "hello, world" console app in C++ that works perfectly
in gdb produces no visible output in the console, but exits normally there
too? If I send the message to cerr, it behaves just as strangely. All it is
is a main wrapper for "cout << "Hello, World!" << endl;" -- I added a flush
in there in case the endl isn't enough to flush the stream (nor the app
exit) on this system, but that had no effect. Meanwhile, a more complex
utility program I wrote (about 100-200 LOC, with iostreams and some
filesystem and system calls, notably a bunch of cp's and touches and
mkdirs) works perfectly, including the standard output and standard error.
