Problems using alchemy windows compiling .swc

Hi there,
yesterday I installed cygwin and configured alchemy in a correct way. => It worked
I have some problems setting the path variable but I solved them with adding the directories to the windows path variable => cygwin reads and uses them.
Today I started my pc and nothing works. There is now error. I tried everything. I run the config script again and it run successfully. But if I try to compile a swc nothing happens. The PC works for a while and then I can again type a new command line. Now error, now success report AND no swc file.
Can anybody help me, please?

I've encountered a similar problem in the past. I found that if I entered the "alc-on" command and then displayed the path "echo $PATH" I had 2 entries for the $ALCHEMY_HOME/ahacks directory in the path. Removing one of those entries fixed the problem.
To ensure I used the correct gcc/g++ after entering "alc-on" I choose to omit the $ALCHEMY_HOME/ahacks path addition described in the instructions. I suspect my solution may not be the best. I haven't investigated too deeply why this worked but it did fix the exact problem you are describing.

can someone help me with this issue?

Two suggestions: the first one is a workaround. You just have to drill down your program file tree to Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer and find the .exe file - the one specifically for Organizer, not Elements. Make a shortcut to that file on your desktop and it will open Organizer. The second suggestion resolved the problem altogether for me. I actually called Dell and after working with several different techs over several different days, I talked to a tech in premium support who was excellent. I discovered from them that it is actually a problem with the windows system files. I have 8.1. I went through a "refresh" on my computer which rebuilt all the files. Then reinstalled Adobe as well as my other programs again and Photoshop Elements Organizer works from the standard desktop shortcut.

Linker problem using version 12.4 on Linux

I am trying to use Solaris Studio 12.4 on Linux ( OpenSuse 13.2 ). I have installed the compiler and set up the PATH to its bin directory. When I compile/link a program I am receiving:

This is all being done from Boost and Boost Build and the linker errors are occurring because of the run-time use of the lightweight_test component of Boost.
There is no problem using gcc directly compiling in 64-bit mode but Solaris Studio C++ 12.4 is failing.
Any ideas why it cannot find the system linker and use it, or why it is failing with the "custom linker", whatever that is, would be appreciated. If Boost Build needs some other compiler/linker option to work I can adjust that. Maybe I need to install some library for -std=c++11 mode or maybe -std=c++11 mode dopes has some sort of bug.

> undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::~Init()'
It looks like you link with different -library/-std set of options compared to those that you compiled with.
> CC -g -m64 -o test *.o -Bdynamic -lrt -Bstatic -Bdynamic
This link line uses default settings, which is -library=Cstd for Studio 12.4.
And since you use Boost most likely you compile with -library=stlport4 or with -std=c++03, which implies -library=stdcpp (gcc STL).
Otherwise you would most likely get compilation failures (since -library=Cstd is a rather outdated STL).
You should use pretty much the same set of options when you compile and when you link.
Verify your build configuration (CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS whatever).

Getting a c++ project compiled to swc using Alchemy

Hi,
I am new to the Alchemy SDK. I was able to go through the sample and create and use swc created from that, but when I wanted to use this for a real project I am having some difficulties.
1. The project is a C++ project with lots of source files in separate folders linking a few libraries (which I dont have any source code for)
So is this even possible?
2. Do I have to always write a glue file written in C to communicate?
3. If someone can actually post an example with instructions for getting a project (which is a little bit more than HelloWorld ), that would be really helpful.
Thanks for the help in advance,
Chaitanya

Hi paleozogt,
Thanks for the prompt response.
1. So on this I removed the references to libraries to get myself started but I think eventually I need to figure out, how I am going to use external libraries.
2. I couldn;t find a nice example of how to use gluegen (maybe its just have to do with me being new to this stuff, but any help in this, like set of instructions or how tos would be great)
Yup and I have started creating the object interface for my c++ project.
3. This maybe obvious for someone using command line compiler but I had to use "g++" instead of "gcc" to get it compiled.
Thanks for the help once again,
Chaitanya

Problems using JAXB in windows(Failed to load Main-Class manifest)

Friends,
I am trying to use JAXB in windows environment. I have already included rt and xjc jar files in my system classpath.
I have sucessfully created java files using the xjc compiler(without the xjs map file). They rock!!
But I am facing problems while creating .xjs file from my dtd. I tried looking into previously discussed topics, with no help. :(
my command line:
java -jar C:\jaxb-1.0-ea\lib\jaxb-rt-1.0-ea.jar mySchemaFile.dtd
This is what i get :
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
C:\jaxb-1.0-ea\lib\jaxb-rt-1.0-ea.jar
Please help, if you have come across this or similar issue..
Or let me know how you create a .xjs file.
Any idea what is the main file class in jaxb-rt-1.0-ea.jar that creates a xjs file ?
All/any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You cannot use xjs files with the JAXB Beta RI.
This has been mentioned at http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxb
"Note that this version is not API-level compatible with the previous released version of the specification and DTD schemas are no longer supported."
You can generate code using the xjc binding compiler for schema documents.
Pls let me know if you have more questions
Thanks,
Bhakti

Problems in starting windows using qemu-kvm from arch

Hello,
I am facing problems in launching windows XP & 7 using qemu-kvm / qemu from arch. I have arch 2010.05 installed (kernel 2.6.33.4) which has kvm.ko, intel & amd modules. System is Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz. Windows XP is installed on partition 0 (real) and i am trying to start windows from that real partition using qemu-kvm.
I installed qemu-kvm using pacman -S qemu-kvm. I am running modprobe kvm and modprobe kvm-intel. Also, i have added username to kvm group.
Command -
qemu-kvm /dev/sda - I have grub menu.lst which gives me list and i am selecting windows to boot but windows does not start. I can see startup but then fails.
qemu-kvm /dev/sda1 - sda1 has windows. With this qemu-kvm just hangs at Booting from Hard-disk...
qemu-kvm -no-kvm /dev/sda - Selecting windows but this time get Windows XP activation error however i can boot same windows XP directly without any error.
For Windows 7 - I have another HDD with Windows 7 installed on partition 0 and Arch. Everytime when i try to start Windows 7 using qemu-kvm (with kvm or without kvm) it gives blue screen with STOP: 0x... If i start Windows 7 directly it works fine.
Also, i downloaded kernel 2.6.35 and built with KVM but still facing same problems. I also tried with qemu.
Can anyone help me in resolving this issue? I want to qemu-kvm Windows from real partition. Let me know if it is not possible.
Am i missing any installation/configuration steps?
I searched on google and on arch forum/wiki but was not able to resolve this issue. Let me know if you need more details.
Thank you,
Satish.

Do i need to create two hardware profiles in Windows or Linux?
the hardware profiles are only needed for windows , linux guest doesn't need it (unless you have compiled your own kernel without more then 1 HDD controller.. specifically for the guest)

qemu-KVM uses SDL, NOT X11 .
added : SDL can be installed seperately, it doesn't require X11 .
you can run qemu-kvm without SDL by using a special startup parameter, -nodisplay
you have to connect with a serial connection to get to the console of the VM.

too)?
you can do that by using a bash script to start the VM, that script can also be used to stop the host.
satishk wrote:3. Whether Windows would be able to detect USB drivers and other devices by default or i need to do anything special in qemu-kvm?
USB devices are normally detected, although you have to test how well they work.
You may have to use udev rules to prevent the host from using those devices, they can't be used by both host and guest at the same time.
Network cards will not be detected, but you can link a physical network device with qemu-kvm virtual network devices.
search for qemu documentation, it also applies to qemu-kvm.

Problem when try to use ACSE+ Windows AD to authenticate two kind of WLAN c

I met a problem when try to use ACSE+ Windows AD to authenticate two kind of WLAN clients:
1. Background:
We have two WLAN: staff and student, both of them will use PEAP-MSCHAPv2, ACSE will be the Radius server, it will use Windows AD's user database. In AD, they create two groups: staff and student. The testing account for staff is staff1, the testing account for student is student1.
2. Problem:
If student1 try to associate to staff WLAN, since both staff and student WLAN using the same authentication method, the auth request will be send to AD user database, since student1 is a valid user account in AD, then it will pass the authentication, then it will join the staff WLAN. How to prevent this happen?
3. Potential solution and its limitation:
1) Use group mapping in ACSE(Dynamic VLAN Assignment with WLCs based on ACS to Active Directory Group Mapping), but ACS can only support group mapping for those groups that have no more than 500 users. But the student group will definitely exceed 500 users, how to solve it?
2) Use methods like âRestrict WLAN Access based on SSID with WLC and Cisco Secure ACSâ: Configure DNIS with ssid name in NAR of ACSE, but since DNIS/NAR is only configurable in ACSE, don't know if AD support it or not, is there any options in AD like DNIS/NAR in ACSE?
Thanks for any suggestions!

I think the documentation for ACS states:
ACS can only support group mapping for users who belong to 500 or fewer Windows groups
I read that as, If a user belongs to >500 Windows Group, ACS can't map it. The group can have over 500 users, its just those users can't belong to more than 500 groups.

A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

We have a 10 person office - all either use Acrobat XI or Reader XI. One person is on Windows 7. The rest are on Windows 8 (not 8.1). I say this because I thought it was a Windows 8 issue, but having the same problems on the Windows 7 machine. We are all having problems opening pdf's sent to us from other firms. This has increased in frequency over the past two months. We've checked with the various firms, and their other clients are not having problems. Some pdfs open but with a lot of missing content and strange formatting, others won't open at all. There are different error messaged depending upon the doc. Some are regarding the fonts, for example "can't extract the embedded font...." Others are "insufficient data" errors. There are more, but for purposes of keeping this short, I won't include them. Another unrelated issue is that we are having trouble printing excel files to pdf. The files end up with bad formatting. I've worked with adobe "chat" support, our IT consultants with no resolution. I also haven't found any similar "known issue" online Would very much appreciate any assistance. Thank you

The font embedding can be a problem if not done and you are trying to view the PDF and do not have the font on your machine. Acrobat will often try to find a replacement, but it is not always a good choice. Sometimes the "Use Local Fonts" button can be changed in state to resolve some of the viewing issues.
If you are trying to copy or export info, then it is important that you have the fonts on your system. Otherwise, the message you are getting about embedded fonts would not be showing up.
As for Excel formatting, be sure that the Adobe PDF printer is selected in the printer screen before you look for the paging and formatting of the file. In most OFFICE programs, if you change the printer the application will reflow the document to best match the printer (called "using printer metrics"). So check before you create the PDF that the layout is correct.

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

HELP! Problem using HPSCAN.exe or TWAIN driver for HP Laserjet Pro cm1415fnw using Windows 7

I have been using the HP Laserjet Pro cm1415fnw for over a year without a problem. At the time when I first purchased the unit, I was using a Dell desktop with Windows XP and connected the printer via USB port. I was able to print and scan from my computer, including from within applications that use TWAIN scanning driver such as Word, Acrobat, etc.
I have since upgraded to an HP slimline s5-1160 computer using Windows 7. I installed the Laserjet software from my installation CD's without a problem. The printer is connected to the computer by USB port. I can continue to print without a problem. However, I no longer am able to scan using the HP software (HPscan.exe) nor from within applications that use TWAIN scanning driver such as Word, Acrobat, etc. When I attempt to do so, it takes a long time before it asks me what TWAIN scan driver to select. When I select the HP cm1410 MFP series, the program either crashes or reverts to the state it was before I attempted to scan an image into a document from within the program.
I can however scan successfully using the Windows Scan and Fax wizard or if I choose "Devices and Printers" from the Start Menu and select "Start scan" from the menu after right-clicking the HP printer icon. However this option limits my use of the scanner -- I cannot scan to a PDF nor can I scan multiple pages into an OCR application. I'm forced to scan to either a JPG or TIF or PNG.
As for attempting to resolve this problem I have done the following with no success:
Uninstall and reinstall the full software and drivers (and using the most recent version on the HP website)
Change USB ports and/or cables
Run the HP scan diagnostic utility, which seems to show an error at the WIA scanning step and then recommends that I uuninstall and reinstall the full software. When I skip that and allow it to check for TWAIN scanning, it gives me a similar error, suggesting that I use the most recent version of the drivers (the driver that I am using is v 3.0 dated 11/12/2009) Therefore in this case the HP scan diagnostic utility does NOT provide a fix for this problem other than uninstall and reinstall, which I have done several times to no avail
Contact HP support both for the computer and the multifunction printer (which as I understand are different support staff). The printer staff claims it's a software problem and that the computer staff should be able to resolve it (something about not having "launchpad" installed properly. When I contact the computer staff, they claim it's a printer driver issue. So I am at a standstill
I researched the HP support forums only to find from this link - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02661093&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4089468&tmp... - that if you cannot scan from HP software that you can use the programs that rely on WIA drivers (Windows Fax and Scan) which I already know I can do but implies that HP does NOT have a solution for how to scan using their own software!
My gut tells me that this is one of those problems that many others may have but for which there is no workable solution. It's possible that during the course of uninstalling and reinstalling the software, remnants may remain behind that prevent proper functioning of the drivers, but without knowing how to specifically "clean" those remnants before reinstalling the software, I am at a loss. Oh and by the way, I've also tried using CCleaner and Norton Registry Cleaner in an attempt to clean those remnants, but that effort didn't help.
My question is basically this... does anyone know of a fix around this problem or must I resign myself to using the Windows Fax and Scan wizard to scan in documents and images and forget about using TWAIN programs as HP seems to be suggesting? I would think that given that I am using an HP printer/scanner along with an HP computer with Windows 7 that this problem should NOT be a problem!
This question was solved.

Before attempting to install the printer on my computer (HP slimline s5-1160), I had been able to successfully install the printer previously on two other computers: a Lenovo T-410 laptop (work computer using Windows XP) and an HP Pavilion Elite HPE (wife's computer using Windows 7).
On those computers, I can use the TWAIN driver from within applications without a problem, and the HPSCAN.exe file works as well. Both computers connect to the printer wirelessly.
It is while trying to install the printer on my home computer via USB that I am having all sorts of difficulty. I have also tried to connect my s5-1160 to the printer wirelessly from my computer. I also checked the Windows Services, and all seems fine there. I also tried switching USB ports and cables. Again, no luck with the scanning using TWAIN driver.
One other point: when I use the original installation CD that came with the printer to install on the s5-1160, the installation seems to stop when it says "Checking requirements for installation" That didn't happen with the two other computers. However, that problem doesn't happen the s5-1160 when I used the more recent version of the full software from the HP website.
Let me reiterate. I have never had any problems with printing from any computer. The scanner works fine from my s5-1160 if I resort to using the scanner and fax wizard using the WIA drivers. What I am unable to do is to get the scanner to work from within an application using the TWAIN driver or if I use the native HP application (hpscan.exe). Nothing seems to happen. Because of that I cannot scan directly into a PDF.
And the only fix that the HP scan diagnostic utility continues to recommend is that I uninstall and reinstall the software. It shows errors in the WIA scanning step and TWAIN step.
Is it possible that because of behind-the-scenes Windows updates that my s5-1160 is receiving that a software conflict is created that prevents the TWAIN driver from functioning properly? Other than that I am at a loss to figure out why this is happening.

Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.
I saved a new workspace and it did not help.
No problem before I went to Maverick.

I found the fix, go to System Preferences and open Mission Control and uncheck the box to keep monitors as they were (When switching to an application...........)

Problem is:
Flash Player for IE11 (which is the worst browser ever developed - BAR NONE) is a Microsoft product, when it comes right down to it.
Adobe writes the base code and yes, they do collaborate on updates for it, but the gang in Redmond alter the plug-in and add "proprietary" code before embedding it, and at that point it's "their baby".
There are two (2) registry keys - 1 for 32 bit IE and the other for 64 bit IE, as well as a KB patch that prevent all but the most experienced Windows users from ever touching the Flash Player plug-in for IE. So there's NO WAY you could have done a clean install of the ActiveX plug-in in Windows 8. Unless you're an uber-geek, you can only update it through Windows Update.
WIn 8 is an abomination and IE11 made it worse. IE has always been the "problem child" of browsers, failing to handle CSS, Javascript, some PHP and most design "tweaks" that good webmasters can use with other browsers, trouble free.
I have IE8 on XP, 9 on VIsta, 11 on 7, 10 on 8 and 11 on 8.1... but they're all for testing only. I'd have to be out of my mind to ever think of using IE as my primary browser. ActiveX controls have to be disabled formost stuff and that opens millions of security holes in IE.
You've got a good video card and a decent sound card. It's a shame to waste them on a pile of garbage like IE, just because it came with Windows.
