My first PKGBUILD - stock ticker style output on the console

I created my first PKGBUILD of a simple program I wrote called "ticker" which just converts input text to scrolling stock ticker style output on the console.
The PKGBUILD and a screenshot are at http://www.fial.com/~scott/ticker
I'd like to submit it to the AUR, but I'd really appreciate any comments/advice first.

Writing what it's about in your post (title) would help building interest, I suppose.

Can you change the color of the output in the console?

When you run your program using NetBeans the color of the output in the console window is black. Is there any way to change the color of the output to say blue?

Hi AJL,
There is no way to color rows of the table control in a SUDialog. You could consider using the ActiveX container control and using the Microsoft ActiveX table control, which might have that functionality. Note though, that then you need to either ensure that control is always on all your client machines or make provisions for it to be installed/registered.

Capturing all the text that I output to the console

HOw do I capture all the text I output to the console to a file. I know how to open filebuffers and all that, well I don't really know, but I have some sample code that I can follow. I am just wondering if I am suppose to just open the file buffer, then run my normal application with all the system.out.println() statements and then have that fed to a file? Right now I am using a lot of println() statements to debug, and I would like to be able to push it into a file so I can look at it later, without having that console line limitation.
My guess is to just open up a filestream and have it open and then run my normal code and then close the filestream at the end. Can somebody let me know if that is good enough...
let say I have a static method hat outputs a bunch of text, can I do this
filestream open
static method run
filestream close
and that's it.

I could see why you'd want to automatically
route output to a file, that normally would
go to the console. There might be use for
capturing output lines.
If the question is to avoid having to specify
the output on the command line, then what
one can do is to create a ".bat" file.
Ex.
kstring.bat
======================================
@java kstring > kstring.out
Now in executing, you'd just ==> kstring
Which will execute the kstring.bat,
and since "> kstring.out " is inside
the "bat", your output goes to the
kstring.out, instead of the console.
This would be another way, saves all the
redirection in Java code. Just use the
DOS command inside a xxx.bat file.
Just my opinion, may not work in your
circumstance.

Directing std output to the console window

I am trying to direct the standard output from a separately executed console program to the console window belonging to the running application. How can I do this?
For example, in the following code, if I execute the simple Windows 'dir' command using .exec, how can I make the output go to the application's console instead of going to a separate window?
import java.io.*;
class dir
public static void main(String[] args)
    try
      Process runprogram = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /C start dir");
    catch(IOException e){}
}

First I will post the mandatory link for everybody who asks about Runtime.exec():
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
Read that and notice the bit about getting data from the process's output stream. You can copy that data to the console.

Output to the console

Hi,
How can we output easily a message to the console when running a function?

You will also have to do a
set serveroutput on;
on the console to get the messages.

Made my first PKGBUILD... :)

Hi Forum,
I have made my first PKGBUILD, it is a hack of the PKGBUILD of BRLCAD, which I have used to pack Ofeli, http://www.ofeli.net/, to /usr{bin lib share doc} as required by Archer Philosophy.
Here it is :

As you all can see, I hacked parts of this script so as to run a simple ./configure make make install in $PKG/usr fakeroor, and pack it into an Arch package.
I have lots of questions, one at a time...
1.) How do I know that something wont be over written as soon as I run pacman -U my-pkg.tar.xz ?
2.) Since Directory structure of Ofeli respects Linux file structure, I decided to drop it in /usr... If it did not, I would probably ship it to /opt, but why /usr instead of /usr/local....?
3.) I tried to make a similar hack with mbdyn, http://www.aero.polimi.it/mbdyn/, but I failed. Standard autoconf install of mbdyn complies with ./configure make make install scheme, and it creates /usr/local/{bin lib libexec share }

( Similar hack of BRLCAD PKGBUILD ) it failed when trying to create libexec... how can I change this....?
4.) suppose I want to untar a package.zip in /opt/package, and make a script in /usr/bin/ called "package" containing 'cd /opt/package&&./initscript.sh' properly chmoded as executable, How do I build a PKGBUILD to build a package which once installed will perform this...?
Most of these questions can seem n00bish, but i am not a great Archer yet... just a little Archer trying to learn something....

1) pacman will yell at you if there are file conflicts. Generally, if you're packaging something that already exists, you should tack on a suffix (e.g. -git or -nox) to describe the difference. The "official" package then makes it into the conflicts array of your modified package.
2) /usr/local is generally reserved for things that won't fall under the domain of the package manager. See the FHS for more details.
3) libexec is avoided in Arch because it does not adhere to the FHS (see above link). The files that go to /usr/libexec should probably end up in /usr/lib instead. Look at the help provided by the config script (./configure --help).
4) You don't need an install scriptlet to chmod files. Set the permission bits in the package() function after they're moved into place.

Problem outputting to the screen using FileDescriptor.out

I have the following program that reads prime numbers from a binary file. The issue is that the numbers are not printing to the screen using
FormatWriter out = new FormatWriter(
       new BufferedWriter(
       new FileWriter(FileDescriptor.out)));The numbers are being read from the file as if I unblock the line
// System.out.println(primes[j]); the numbers are printed to the screen.
I have pasted the code below and the code that creates the prime numbers file.

Indeed. It isn't obvious to me what the result of new FileWriter(FileDescriptor.out) would result in, but your test appears to show that it doesn't result in something which can be used to output to the console.

How to view output on the server?

When I run WLS locally inside JDeveloper, I can see the output in the console when I have System.out.println() in my web application code.
After I deploy it to the server, where do I go to see the same output?
I'm using WLS 10.3.2

If you still don't see the System.out.printlns in the logs folder look in this file. When you start the weblogic server usually you use like in windows startWeblogic.cmd. So look in that console and it should have the output. Same thing on Linux also, see the shell wiindow where you started weblogic and there you will see the output.
Usually the bestpractice in linux is to use nohup command to start weblogic and redirect the output to any file. In this way, you can close that shell and still the weblogic will be running and all outputs will be in this log file. You can write a simple file like admin_start.sh with below lines and use this to start weblogic like ./admin_start.sh
DOMAIN_HOME="/yourFullPath/Oracle/Middleware115/user_projects/domains/yourDomain1"
LOG_FILE="/yourFullPath/Oracle/Middleware115/user_projects/domains/yourDomain1/logs/admin.log" (The file name can be anything)
nohup ${DOMAIN_HOME}/bin/startWebLogic.sh > ${LOG_FILE} &

Excellent, thanks, that did the trick!
While I've opened this topic anyway, I have another question. The application in question uses a configuration file which it only looks for in the directory the executable resides in (unless a specific command line argument is given). For this reason, it seems most logical to place the application under /opt. But /opt is not in $PATH by default. What is the best way to add the directory /opt/vpcs to $PATH but to also remove it from $PATH when the application is removed?

Adding a stock ticker to an iWeb site?

Does iWeb not support Yahoo! Badges? http://finance.yahoo.com/badges
They use something called iFrame. Is that different than HTML?
Anyone know how I can add a stock ticker to my iWeb page?
http://web.mac.com/michaelgrothaus/

I tested and it worked fine for me....
I went through Yahoo steps and had code generated...
Went to iWeb and on page I wanted to add chart, I clicked on the "Web Widgets" icon at bottom of iWeb page and picked "HTML Snippet" and then pasted code in area provided (where it says paste code), finally I hit "Apply" saved my pages and published. Worked fine.
Hope this helps you.

Weird, from the man page:
-D create all leading components of DEST except the last, then copy
SOURCE to DEST
no it is not so weird. As there is currently no directory where you want to install the file to (at least that is what it is assuming) it has otherwise no idea if the last component is either a directory or a file.
This means that for example
install -Dm644 sample.desktop $startdir/pkg/usr/share/applications
removes the last component (applications in this example), and installs the sample.desktop file under the name applications in $startdir/pkg/usr/share/
Therefore, the correct way is
install -Dm644 sample.desktop $startdir/pkg/usr/share/applications/sample.desktop

First PKGBUILD: fsv2 (3D File System Visualizer, gtk2 port)

The purpose of this thread is to see whether the PKGBUILD is correct/adequate and whether there is interest in this package.
I have managed to create a working PKGBUILD for fsv2 based on the one for the original fsv and the wiki prototype. The guidelines state that the package has to be useful - "more than a few people" would have to be interested. The original fsv PKGBUILD is out of date and the last comment is nine months old, but one can hope.
It seems illogical that a program with a GUI suggests a text-based browser to view the provided documentation. I've left it in the PKGBUILD just in case, but one could easily suggest a different browser or perhaps use a simple text editor to view the documentation. Also, I have not tested it on x86-64 since I do not have access to such a machine.

Looking at namcap output on PKGBUILD and built package will help you a lot.
Remember to put the Maintainer tag at the beginning.
BTW, I suggest that you take care of gtkglarea package as well, since the current AUR one is not good at all.
Here's my take on it (tested):

Remember to adjust the Maintainer tag if you adopt this one.
I built and tested successfully gtkglarea and fsv2.

First PKGBUILD - looking for review

Hello all,
I have created my first PKGBUILD for some new scientific computing libraries and corresponding examples related to my field. I am looking for input before submitting this to the authors for inclusion on their site (and possibly to the AUR if there ends up being more interest).
Anyway, here is what I have so far, which seems to work on my system:

I'm not using any .install file, is this something big I am missing? Again, this is my first time writing a PKGBUILD, so I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Thanks - I will take note for future packages, or if I end up using a non-git version. makepkg seemed to not be able to handle the zip file itself, though. If I re-hosted the source myself in a tarball it worked, but on the authors' site I could only find it as a zip.
My main question is still about installation location, though. This typically installs itself in:
/usr/local/ismrmrd/bin
/usr/local/ismrmrd/lib
/usr/local/ismrmrd/include
/usr/local/ismrmrd/schema
/usr/local/ismrmrd/cmake
I was able to change this to:
/usr/bin
/usr/lib
/usr/include
/usr/schema
Obviously this prevents cmake/FindIsmrmrd.cmake from being installed at all (not sure this is OK or desirable), It also creates the /usr/schema directory, which I don't think is really standard. Where should I put such files? Should I instead install the whole package into /usr/opt/ismrmrd? It doesn't seem big enough to warrant that, but I don't know where else to put the schema and cmake directories and the associated files. Maybe in /usr/share?
