Working on my build script some more
So, it occurred to me that configuring my build script is probably not the easiest thing in the world. I’ve been trying to write a GUI to make it easier, but that’s not too much fun either.
Miscellaneous news
So I finally figured out why arts wasn’t working for me the past few days. Turns out that aeons ago when I setup my single-user KDE account, I forgot to add ${KDEDIR}/lib to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and now arts couldn’t find its libraries. So now the question becomes, how is it that anything at all worked before? I seriously believe that for this entire time I’ve been running KDE CVS on KDE 3.2 libraries, which would explain my sound problems.
JuK Tree View Mode changes
Yesterday I committed my fixes to the JuK tree view mode to CVS. It should work much better now, as it dynamically adjusts the entries in the tree view depending on the tags present in the Collection List. It will even add/remove entries as needed after you edit a tag. :-)
I’m back
Well, my weeklong vacation to my grandmother’s in Pennsylvania is over, and I’m back safe and sound.
Vacation status
So, I got up here after driving for about 15 hours safe and sound. So far it has been fun up here, moreso than I thought. Sometimes it’s nice just to sit back and just chat with your relatives I guess.
Going Away
So I’m leaving tonight for a trip to my grandparents’ house for a family reunion. Although we will have a laptop, we won’t have much in the way of Internet access, which is probably for the best what with the freeze starting and all. ;-)
This is the first thing I’m trying once I upgrade to GCC 3.4
Check out this GCC Symbol visibility patch. It can have quite an effect on code, especially code (*coughC++cough*) that generates very large symbol tables.
srcdir != builddir == good
I had a discussion on #kde-devel today with a developer who didn’t know about how to build programs with a different build and source directory. It came as quite a shock to me, as I had assumed that it was common knowledge.
C++ Tips, Vol ?
I come across this every so often and still get surprised by it every time. So I figured I’d impart a bit of my hard-earned C++ knowledge so that more people would be familiar with the phenomenon.
Wow
