How would I go about compiling my own multilib GCC?

Hello, as the topic says, how would I compile my own multilib GCC? I realize there is one on the AUR, but it is version 4.4.0, which has issues with compiling FFMpeg and MPlayer(both of which I compile daily), and the fact that the pkgbuild has to be manually updated in a few areas to work in the first place. I'm thinking about updating the PKGBUILD myself, actually(well creating a parallel build in any case, because the author hasn't actually orphaned it, but he seems to have disappeared).
I've found a few documents on the subject but they are distro specific, or use scripts. I don't want to be a script kiddie, I want to know what the "base" configure parameters are for setting one up. I can figure out the rest.
Slackware scripts link here.
-What ./configure parameters create a multi-lib system? What specifies the multilib compile to be 32-bit and 64-bit?(I read that sometimes people use multi-lib for other features so I want to make sure it's 32-bit and 64-bit, not something else)
-How would I make this build compatible with the /opt/lib32 system that Arch users like to use?
-Do I only need to compile binutils, glibc, and gcc? And lastly, does this replace the "regular" gcc on the system?(aka if I created a PKGBUILD for this, would gcc still be named gcc or would it be renamed gcc-multilib and have it's own directories for libs)

Is there a way to open two color windows? I want to use both HSB and RGB sliders and have them side by side. If there isn't a way, how would I go about creating my own script for it?

Here's an example of what I mean:

I would have access to both RGB and HSB at the same time instead of constantly switching back and forth. Any input on this matter would greatly help thank you!

Photoshop only has one Color Palette. If you could script something like a Color Palette with two sets of active sliders the script would be in control till you dismissed its sliders dialog. You would not be able to do anything but adjust the script's sliders in Photoshop while the script dialog window is being displayed. Photoshop Scripting does not have real palette dialog type support.
I do not know what is possible with Photoshop extensions using HTML 5 Panels.....

Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?

Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.

If you used system cache cleaning software it can mess up Apple software. Stop using such software. Remove Mackeeper if present using these directions:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691
If you started typing something in the search field of the System Preferences, it might be hiding. Quit and reopen System Preferences to be sure it isn't hiding because it is searching for another panel.
Lastly, if none of the above apply, go to your hard drive -> System -> Library -> PreferencesPanes folder and see if it is hiding there. If it isn't, get your 10.5 installer disc that installed 10.5 on your Mac, and restore it with http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist, and then run the 10.5.8 combo update to ensure the version matches the operating system.

Good afternoon. I have created a Form in Indesign, imported into FormsCentral. I would like to post this onto a webpage. It is currently an iPDF. How would I go about doing this. I cannot 'Place it'. Thanks

The only way to use Forms Central would be to export it the method that gives you the embed code (can't remember what the actual term is off hand) and then use Object--->Insert HTML and past your code in.

Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

Hi Michael1296,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps to authorize a computer in iTunes:
How do I authorize a computer?
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu barto see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.
You can find these steps and more information at this link:
Authorize your computer using iTunes
All the best,
Jeremy

HT2470 how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them part of 1 master file

how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them into 1 master file? I want to put all documents associated with this project together for easier access.

From the finder window, click File, click new folder, you can drag all documents into that Folder making it the master folder. You can ajso drag folders into the Master folder, and have them as sub-folders if you wish to do that. Either way they will all be in one master folder.

How would you go about limiting file upload

I don't need source code, just want to know if it's possible or how to go about limiting how many files a user can upload.
So far
I can limit what types of files get uploaded.
I can limit how big those files can be.
Is it possible, or how would you go about limiting how many files get sent?
- When the user does a browse they can select multiple files.

This is the best that I can come up with.
Ripped from adobe cookbooks
var fileList:Array = fileReferenceList.fileList;
if( fileList.length > 4 )
    Alert.show("Too many files" , "Please try again with 4 or less files");
else
   for (var i:Number=0; i<fileList.length; i++)
       var file:FileReference = FileReference(fileList[i]);
       arrayCollection.addItem({name:file.name, size:file.size, object:file})

How would I go about changing my harddrive to a SATA III 6Gbit/s drive?

I want to replace my 250GB hard drive in my macbook pro from 2009. How would I go about changing it to a SATA III 6Gbit/s drive?
Do I also need to replace RAM or anything else? What step should I take?
Thank you!

You can certainly install whatever drive you like, but your Macbook Pro is fixed at SATA II. SATA III drives will work fine, but only up to 3Gb/s (which far exceeds a rotational drive's read/write speeds anyway).
In practical terms, if you want to copy your current system onto the new drive, you would need to buy an external enclosure (Firewire or USB2), install the new drive in that and format it Mac Extended using Disk Utility. Clone your current system over using SuperDuper.
Make sure the new drive is named something different from the original drive to distinguish them when you restart. Test that it will boot by holding down Option as you power up the computer.
Remove the new drive from the enclosure and install it using iFixit guides.
If you don't want to use the files on your current drive, you don't need the enclosure, but it's recommended, so you can use your current drive as extra storage after you do the upgrade.

How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?

How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code? I would prefer to just run through a set of code every time I need a polygon. If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.

>>How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?
You could create a method that creates and returns x number of Rectangle elements:
public IEnumerable<Rectangle> CreateRectangles(int numberOfRectsToCreate)
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfRectsToCreate; ++i)
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
rect.Fill = Brushes.Blue;
rect.Width = 100;
rect.Height = 100;
yield return rect;
..and then call this method from anywhere in your code:
IEnumerable<Rectangle> rects = CreateRectangles(5);
foreach (Rectangle rect in rects)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
yourStackPanel.Children.Add(rect);
>>If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.
When adding Point objects to a Polygon you can only add one per call to the Add method but you could call the Add method inside a loop, e.g:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
Polygon p = new Polygon();
p.Points.Add(new Point());

HT1040 I must not have chosen a hard back book when I started my project of creating a photo book. When I go to buy the book it only allows a small soft cover book. How would one go about changing it to a hard back book?

I must not have chosen a hard back book when I started my project of creating a photo book. when I go to buy the book it only allows me to buy the small soft cover book. How would one go about to chage the settings?

What version of iPhoto?
THe basic answer to duplicate the book as things may change when you change size, select themes again and pic the cover and size you want -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance. Thanks in advance.

I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance. Thanks in advance.

1. Insert your DVD.
2. Open Disk Utilities (Application> Utilities> Disk Utilities). Highlight your DVD and press "New Image" on the upper toolbar.
3. Choose the location you would like to save your DVD from the drop down menu, "Desktop" is usually the best choice. Then click Save.
4. When finished, your DVD icon will appear on the desktop with the .dmg extension.
5. With iMovie open, double-click the .dmg file you created to mount it. The iMovie import window will then appear asking you to choose. Click Import All and wait for the Import to complete.

Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!
