(Almost) Completely Reliable Method of Building AUR Pkgs with Clang

The concise wiki directions to add `export CC=clang\nexport CXX=clang++` to makepkg.conf fails to address the unfortunate plethora of pkgbuilds that include GCC specific build options or otherwise prevent this from working.
Since, at this point, there are very few sources that actually will not build with clang and appropriate options; there has to be a way to "help" pkgbuilds adapt to clang/clang++. My suspicion is that some sort of standard regex replacements of incompatible options should help many of the simpler cases; but I am far from actual knowledge on this point.
Has anyone gotten a `makepkg.conf` + ??? setup to work reasonably well?

  • Is there a completely reliable method of adding months to a date in ABAP?

    Does anyone know of a completely reliable and consistent ABAP function module that can be used to add months to a date.  One that will always get the correct last day of the month when requested to add 1 month to the last day of the previous month.  Something as reliable as using the ADD_MONTHS function in Oracle SQL.  I don't want to use any of the specific 'get last day of the month' function modules since the start date may not necessarily be the last day of a month.
    In the past I have trusted the following.  Now they have betrayed me. 
    MONTHS_PLUS_DETERMINE  
    Correctly provides 28.02.09 when adding 1 months to 31.01.09.
    Incorrectly gives me 28.03.09 instead of 31.03.09 when adding 1 month to 28.02.09
    RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL and RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL_SG
    Both incorrectly give me 01.03.09 when asked to add 1 month to 31.01.09.
    Both incorrectly give me 28.03.09 when asked to add 1 month to 28.02.09.

    That also sometimes works.....but adding 1 month to 28.02.2009 gives me 28.03.2009 and adding 1 month to 29.02.2008 gives me 29.03.2008.
    This is how to use ADD_MONTHS in Oracle SQL - a bit naughty since you have to use native SQL to do it but it ALWAYS seems to work.  I pass a date, month number and + or - into the function module.

  • [SCRIPT]: Build AUR Packages With Ease

    I just started to use Arch, and coming from Ubuntu/Debian, it was a bit of a shock, but Arch does grow on you.  One of it's strengths is the AUR.  When I first found out about it, I was all like, "HOLY $#!% ITS MACPORTS FOR LINUX."  Turns out is isn't quite as easy to use, but it works.  Walking into Arch, the only languages I was comfortable writing code in were C/Objective-C.  Tonight I learned a little bash and wrote this wrapper around makepkg.  Tell me what you think.  The only thing missing that I can think of is dependency resolving, but I didn't want to put in the work for that just yet.
    #! /bin/bash

  • Best method for building a project with multiple video tracks

    I'm working a project where a client wants some edits made to an existing DVD they had - some video tweaks but mostly menu changes. I'm rebuilding the menus from scratch and I've ripped all the video files from the DVD (there are about 80 of them on one DL-DVD), transcoding them with DV-DVCPRO/NTSC settings.
    The problem is when I import them all as assets into my project build, the DVD disc meter shoots up to about 12 or 13gb. What I've done is added them all to their own separate track, as they're meant to be played not as one continuous video but individual sessions.
    What I'm wondering is if there is a better way to build it that would reduce the amount of space it takes up (I'm rather new at DVD Studio Pro, so I can't tell if I'm going about this the wrong way or not), or if I need to compress the video files or re-transcode them using some other settings (H.264? I'm trying to maintain as much video quality as possible).
    Any help on this would be much appreciated, thanks.

    What is the running time? You should encode to m2v and AC3. Take a look here

  • AUR/Yaourt says "Continue building of $PKG?" etc, instead of its name

    I don't know what I changed or if I accidentally uninstalled some unknown dependency but now I'm getting lines that say:
    Continue the building of $PKG? [Y/n]
    Continue installing $PKG? [Y/n]
    Checking vote status for $_pkg
    Do you want to vote for $_pkg inclusion/keeping in [community]? [Y/n]
    I don't understand what happened because earlier it was saying the actual package name, like "Continue the building of sdcv?", sdcv being a package from the AUR. Anybody have any ideas with this, I mean, it's not a major dilemma but it's rather irritating. I foresee myself installing something that compiles for 5 minutes and then forget what I was installing and have to scroll up when it prompts me with "Continue installing $PKG?", lol.

    Ok, I have:
    1. Completely removed (-Rsn) Yaourt, cleaned cache, updated ABS (just in case, I dunno!)
    2. Completely removed aurvote, customizepkg, pacman-color, colordiff and did same as above (just in case..)
    3. sudo updatedb, searched for anything with the words from the packages above, found nothing except in /var
    4. Looked in pacman.conf for anything out of ordinary; yielding nothing except defaults and user repos.
    5. Reinstalled xorg core, cleaned cache, updated ABS
    6. Reinstalled wget > pacman > Yaourt > aurvote > customizepkg > pacman-color > colordiff. Then 'sudo updatedb', update ABS (lol)
    7. End up with same results as before: $PKG, $_pkg instead of package name. Very confusing and irritating, now.
    This is bothersome as it becomes hard to keep track of what I'm installing especially when a package has a bunch of dependencies. So, I'm at a loss and am going to have to install another AUR Helper, I think.
    EDITx2: Installed aurshell and it seems to work about as good as Yaourt. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise for me. Still curious as to why Yaourt messed up though.

  • Is there a reliable method for detecting that a query is too large?

    I am writing some code (that uses OCI) to properly detect when a query string is too long for OCI and/or the Oracle database server. I can't find any specific error code information in the docs, so I just started firing off large queries to see what would happen.
    The queries I am sending are >2MB in size, up to 16MB. If the queries are above ~10MB, I get the error "ORA-03113 'End-of-file on communications channel'" after a fairly short amount of time (i.e. not enough for a timeout to expire). If the queries are below ~10MB, but above ~2.5MB, it either just sits there and does not do anything (for more than 15 hours). So watching for ORA-03113 when executing large queries does not seem like a very reliable method for detecting the queries that are too large.
    Does anyone know of a reliable way of detecting that a query is too large for the OCI client and/or the Oracle database server?
    I am using version 10.2.0.1 for both the OCI client and the Oracle database server, but I'm getting similar errors for combinations of 10.2.0.1 and 9.2.0.7 for both the OCI client and the Oracle database server.
    These large queries need to be handled properly (i.e. distinguished from some generic failure) because the server handles requests from users, which could be programs that generate SQL queries (and have constructed huge ones in the past).
    Thanks for any information!

    The ORA-03113 means that the Oracle server process has died trying to satisfy your request. In almost all cases it is strictly correct to call that a bug, and we shouldn't easily forgive the server process when it happens. But in the case of multimegabyte statements my anger and disapointment turns to sympathy, for in my heart I can't bring myself to blame it. Can you?

    I just bought a new iPad min and it will not complete the initial up its been hooked up to me computer 2 days no results how can i send a photo of what it is doing apple almost complete white bar but won't go 100% ?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • AUR helper with download/build only option ?

    Hi,
    Currently I have a cron job that does this:
    pacman -Syuw --noconfirm
    This downloads all packages and put it in the cache in the background, this way when a run an upgrade I just have to validate.
    I would like to have the same for AUR packages. Is anyone aware of a AUR helper with a "download+build" only option ?

    pacaur (which uses cower) supports a -d flag to download only, and a -m flag to download and build. The -d flag will pull down dependencies. I'm quite happy with pacaur+cower as a day to day solution, $0.02.
    EDIT: sorry I meant the -m flag pulls down deps -- to do it with the -d flag you have to specify it twice. </bourbon>

  • Simple and reliable method to preform an OCR on a pdf? [SOLVED]

    I have Acrobat at work which does a wonderful job preforming an OCR (optical character recognition) on scanned pdf files so that one can do keyword searching within the pdf.  I have spent the past hour following-up various guides on the 'net at large which do not work for me.  Can someone recommend a simple and reliable method to accomplish this?
    Last edited by graysky (2014-03-30 13:50:34)

    I can second OCRFeeder. It can use different OCR engines, and the application doesn't hide the complexity of the options that these engines accept, so with a little fine tuning you should get reasonable results. For Latin text, that is. For non-Latin or mixed scripts, all  FOSS engines are essentially useless (I've tried long and hard to get Japanese OCR to work).
    To be honest, I myself only use Acrobat now because it's the only thing that produces consistently excellent results. For example, text selection will often not work smoothly  because the FOSS tools don't group the text objects properly into lines or paragraphs.

  • Netbeans 6.0 - code completion of method parameters

    How can I switch this off?
    I searched the options and also the forum but didn't find a solution.

    I know that pressing space or whatever replaces the selected parameter. For a method with a single parameter is not a big problem but this is a poor workaround if a method has more parameters, like eg
    public static String formatDate(Date myDate, String myFormat)
    When typing
    Str.form<CTRL+SPACE,choose method, ENTER>
    it looks like
    Str.formatDate(myDate, errorMessage)
    Although myDate is selected and I can overwrite it, I have to proceed to the next parameter with CTRL+M instead of simply typing a comma. This is very annoying if a method has more parameters and as this annoyance occurs approx. every 5 lines that accumulates.

  • Why when almost completed editing a video on imovie have half the clips developed narrow screen aspect exhibiting grey band top and bottom of each clip?

    Why when almost completed editing a video on imovie, have almost half the clips developed narrow aspect - the rest is still widescreen? The faulty clips have developed grey bands top and bottom.

    Tried to duplicate the situation.
    Most probably I got it wrong but when adding in
    • a photo in 16x9 then I get a black letterbox-ing
    • an 16x9 video taken from a small compact digital Camera and in wrong frames per seconds (30fps) in a PAL (25fps) project - I get this gray banding too. Strange
    May be it has to do with matching different fps in same project - never liked to do that as quality usually suffers and it goes jumpy.
    I use JES_Deinterlacer to get all my material into the same standard first - not letting iMovie or iDVD do that conversion as that gives ME BAD RESULT.
    Someone with clear knowledge on this - Please feel free to fill in and correct.

  • I cannot upload my iMovie video to Facebook, etc. I cannot even attach it to an email, an 'error' message comes up when almost complete. It plays fine in imovies, VLC, mplayerx. Confused, is the file damaged somehow?

    The Deskjet series printers connect to wireless networks with what is called USB to Wireless.
    You will need a supported operating system to connect a Deskjet to a wireless network.  Supported operating systems to connect the printer to a wireless network are Windows 7 (32bit and 64bit), Windows Vista (32bit and 64bit), and Mac OS X (10.5, 10.6, and 10.7).  
    While there is a software download option for Linux distributions, this is not the full featured software that is capable of adding the printer to a wireless network.  Most printers have a wireless setup wizard to accomplish this task, but the Deskjet series printers connect in a different way.
    Once the printer is connected to a wireless network,  HPLIP 3.12.4 drivers should be able to locate the printer.
    Click on Installing the Product Software for a Wireless Network Connection to receive instructions to connect to a wireless network using Windows and Mac operating systems.
    Click on Software & Driver Downloads - HP Deskjet 3070A e-All-in-One Printer - B611a to download the appropriate software for a supported operating system to connect to a wireless network.
