[SOLVED] Is it necessary to use `make $MAKEFLAGS' with a PKGBUILD?

I'm sorry if this question has been asked many times before, but I'm curious to know if it is necessary to run `make $MAKEFLAGS' when compiling a PKGBUILD; the C{,XX}FLAGS specified in my rc.conf seem to be used when I compile packages, but is it necessary to specify `make $MAKEFLAGS' rather than just `make' in order to utilize the flags I've placed in the config file?

That's what I meant

[Solved]using 'make oldconfig'

Hi, I'm running my own kernel (mainline) , when rebuild, I use this order:
sudo /usr/bin/modprobed-db recall
make localmodconfig
make oldconfig
make nconfig
Now I come to the conclusion, things ain't the way I think they supposed to be.
When F.I. ISDN support was removed from the previous kernel, shouldn't this be left out using 'make oldconfig'?
Because every time I edit the config with nconfig, these things are still present, and I remove them , again.
Now, I'm sure this ain't how it's supposed to be , am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks qinohe

Does this `modprobe` a list of modules? It's probably unnecessary, as you can:
make LSMOD=<insert path to file> localmodconfig
where file contains a list of modules, or is an executable that outputs such a list.
Ah, that's a nice one, gonna use it. Yes, it's Modprobed-db, a tool that keeps track off all modules ever used on the system, I could uninstall it, I know all modules, and can add one to the list myself if necessary.
Depends on what your ".config" file looks like at the time you run `make oldconfig`.
Probably not the edited config, but the new one.
Do you have the file ".config" in the directory when you run `make localmodconfig`? If so, did you remember to update the file from which this file is copied? Alternatively, you can bypass creating ".config" before `make localmodconfig`, in which case /proc/config.gz will be used as a base.
A new one is in 'src' but not in the the 'build dir. Should I copy the old config to it?
I need to create me a nice work flow for this, gonna try a few sequences, and check which is the best for me to use, thanks.
edit:adding this line before- solved it all,
zcat /proc/config.gz > ~/builds/abs/core/linux/src/${_srcname}/.config
Thanks again lolilolicon

Saving each image as different size - is it an option for you? I would save images with their name as: 20x30.png, 16x20.png etc etc.
Or explain whether you want these in a webpage in which case only one image is necessary and different sizes are displayed with good CSS code. this is question for Dreamweaver forum if this is what you want.

Local Mac shop said to hold down "c" after inserting disk to get "disk utility" to come up in order to wipe hard drive. I can't seem to get it to do this.

This W7 was purchased for using Fusion, as others did - per reviews from amazon. The technician today called their contact at VMWare - Fusion not officially for use with Lion - even though I read at the VMWare support site that others have made it work. Apparently my setup doesn't work.
Do you know how to do the proceedure for bringing up the disk utility when starting the disk?
BTW, some of the windows applications I want to continue using are Incredimail, Calendarscope, Stamps.com and a few others I have used over many years. What do you use for email and calendar?
Wow, sounds like another reason to not use MS Windows.
Regarding your Disk Utility question, please elablorate I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Disk Utilty is just that...a utility, it's something most users never have to use especially on a new computer. Let me know what you're trying to do there before I give you some instructions.
As for as your Windows apps I would recommend using Mail and iCal, both come as part of OS X and are very robust tools. Don't discount the software built right into OS X it's very robust and powerful not all like the bloatware most Windows boxes ship with. Stamps.com well I'd look for another alternative. It's clear they don't support OS X which makes me a little suspicious that they're so behind the times.
Also if you have not been exposed to these links before I'd strongly recommend bookmarking them and using them. They're extermely useful!

So what is your question?
If you forgot your encryption password:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

:-(Hi! You're not alone :)
We tried to record some load tests (OpenScript 12.2.0.1 Build 223) for our ADF R2 application.
But during the playback I had the same error: "Failed to solve variable web.framesrc.afrPushIframe using path .//IFRAME[@name='afr::PushIframe']/@src ".
Haven't you found the solution yet?
By the way, when I use operation "Revert to Recorded" for all nodes of my test and playback it again, I see in results that the script has passed without errors, but nothing has changed in database.

[SOLVED] Network connection issues - need to make connections twice

I've a strange issue with my network connection that has recently started to appear where if I:
- Attempt to install a package with pacman.
- Visit a webpage in chromium.
- FTP a file using Thunar.
- SSH into a server.
Then I quite often have to attempt the connection twice i.e:
- Pacman will return "error: failed retrieving file" on a first attempt, but be fine on the second.
- Chromium (or any other browser) will partially load pages or will show a 'Server Not Found' message on the first attempt but be OK after a refresh.
- FTP will not resolve the server on the first attempt but will on the second.
- ssh will return "Could not resolve hostname Name or service not known" on the first attempt then be fine on the second.
This issue just used to occur with pacman & ssh and I just put it down to 'one of those things I needed to fix when I had time'. Yet the issue has recently started occuring with chromium as well so is making browsing the web a real pain.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to track down the issue so would appreciate any tips!
I'm using netctl to connect over wifi & just as I tried to post this message an error appeared in Chromium which may give me some hints as to how to fix this:
The server at bbs.archlinux.org can't be found because the DNS look-up failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Chromium from accessing the network.
I'm using netcl to connect over wifi.
I also recently installed dhcpd which I occasionally start and stop though the issue with pacman & ssh was occurring before this.
Thanks

Thanks for that Strike0. It prompted a thorough reading of a number of man pages, though while I 'think' I understand the general concept of how things should be working, I'm finding the configuration confusing!!
I created and added some nameserver settings to the following config file '/etc/resolv.conf.head' (googles 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 also work):
$ vim /etc/resolv.conf.head
# OpenDNS servers
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
Then I reload /etc/resolv.conf and view its new content:
$ resolvconf -u;cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by resolvconf
# OpenDNS servers
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
domain home
nameserver 192.168.1.254
And this seems to make everything work, where network connection are being reached after the first attempt!!
Though I'm confused why 192.168.1.254 is being used? Am I right in understanding that 192.168.1.254 is a broadcast address so all network devices on 192.168.1.* are being queried for a DNS server? If I use the host command on 192.168.1.254 it seems to fail. Does this fail mean that my home router is not working correctly or theres' an internal config issue?
$ host www.archlinux.org 192.168.1.254
Using domain server:
Name: 192.168.1.254
Address: 192.168.1.254#53
Aliases:
www.archlinux.org is an alias for gudrun.archlinux.org.
gudrun.archlinux.org has address 66.211.214.131
Host gudrun.archlinux.org.home not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
What does the "Host gudrun.archlinux.org.home not found: 2(SERVFAIL)" output mean? Where is it getting the .home name from?
As comparison
$ host www.archlinux.org 8.8.4.4
Using domain server:
Name: 8.8.4.4
Address: 8.8.4.4#53
Aliases:
www.archlinux.org is an alias for gudrun.archlinux.org.
gudrun.archlinux.org has address 66.211.214.131
In one of the man pages I saw that you can test an internal DNS with:
$ host www.archlinux.org 127.0.0.1
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
Though wouldn't a dhcpd4.service need to be running for that to work?
Lots of questions I know, but I would like to understand exactly what's happening so I can easily trouble shoot in the future.

Is it necessary to use the standard function modules always?

Hi All,
Suppose i can retrieve the BUSINEES PARTNER ID from the table BUT000 with the help of 'BP_GUID' field through a select query statement.
Now is it necessary to use a standard function module to retrieve the same data. what about the performance? which is the better solution. to implement our own code or to use the function module available.
Please someone clarify me about this issue.
Regards,
Sharry.

If you'd ask the question in general it's obvious that there is no good answer as it always would depend on the circumstance. However, as you've posted your question in the performance tuning forum, let's look at your question in this context first. I think it's fairly safe to say, that in almost 100% of the cases a standard function module will not be as fast as any well implemented and custom tailored code. If in doubt, just try reading the code of the function module you want to read; most likely you will find lots of unnecessary fluff in there, often they read data that you don't even need.
And as far as buffering is concerned, that can also be an issue. E.g. let's say you do a massive read of distinct business partners and you only need the data once for each partner. Obviously buffering is silly in this case and it might even slow down your program, because the implemented buffering is not necessarily well implemented. I've come across a few cases, where the buffer tables where standard tables with no efficient read access (so no sorted table or hash table) and once tons of data were buffered, it actually took a moment to look up if the record already was buffered (just to find it wasn't there yet).
Now most of the times this slowdown is not an issue as the lookup is still fast compared to the (usually) prevalent database accesses with their slower IO timing. But another factor to consider is memory consumption and why buffer data in memory (and waste it), if you can't use the buffer anyway? So when I do use standard function modules, I usually try to see what they retain in global memory, to better understand if I need to call some initialization/clearing/refresh function...
Note also that often you need to process lots of data, but don't find a standard function module for "mass access", so you need to read your object one by one. Obviously that's another good candidate for implementing your own queries, where you can process the data in packages.
So what might be the reason to use a standard function module? Well, often it's required because the logic is so complex that it would take you too much time to implement it (not to mention that we often simply don't know all the logic that's coded in there). Another advantage is that you might get independent of the data model. E.g. for IDoc interfaces SAP switched in some release the tables where the data is stored. So if you had coded your own queries to get IDoc data, they wouldn't have worked after this particular release upgrade. The standard function on the other hand, checks both the old and new tables, so by using it you would have been fine.
The one major caveat I'd give though is to always check whether the function module is released or at least documented to some degree. I.e. if it's not released, SAP won't support it and does not guarantee that the interface or logic stays the same. In my experience lots of functions I do want to use are not released (or documented), but I will still use them because they seem to be the best alternative in certain scenarios.

Is it necessary to use a rs232 interface?

Hi, I have a AL104 mass scale and I'm trying to read the weight on labview, I hook it up to the computer using a rs232 cable, but I don't really understand how the device and the computer is communicating, I use VISA to write the program, but I can't locate the resourse name (address of the input) . Some one told me I might need to use a rs232-GPIB converter, because the computer is not detecting the hardware. I want to ask, is it necessary to use a converter in order for the computer to send and receive signal from the device? becasue it seems to me that even the pc and the device is connected thru the cable, the data still not transfering between the two... or how do I check the computer knows the device is "attached"??
Really appreciate if someone can go thru what I should do from the beginning to when I'm able to read the output from the computer!!!
Thanks!!

RS-232 and GPIB are two different things. Looking up AL104 by Google, I came across this page that as a link to the manual http://balance.balances.com/scales/1114
The manual shows it is using RS-232. That means you write a command to the Com port and read back the response. There is no hardware to detect. Your VISA port will be whatever com port you have it connected to. Com1, com2, ....
That manual told to look for the command set. I found this link http://us.mt.com/mt_ext_files/Editorial/Generic/1/PL-S_SICS_0x0002467000027246000b531d_files/B-S-AL-... That should tell you all you need to know about communicating with the balance.

Can anyone tell me if there is any difference at all in the display between the 4 and 4s. It appears they are the same from the specs but I dont want to make an expensive mistake. I can use the 4 with no problems but the 5 makes me feel ill and I am hoping I can upgrade to a 4s with no issues. Any help appreciated.

In a technical sense, the differences between the displays on the iPhone 4 vs 4s are vast. I'm mean, they are both attached to 70 - 90% of the internal components and far from interchangeable. There are no differences however, that are noticeable by the user.
