Hello all!
I'm lurking in this group for some time now, hoping to find some input
concerning
the gcc compiler.
I'm a Mac convert and would like to do some programming under Linux' CLI but
I don't know where to start. I am used having an integrated development
environment
( CodeWarrior ) where working with files and making/ linking of programs is
quite comfortable
a thing to do.
Using Linux however, I'm facing difficulties. Is there any good i.e.
comprehensive tutorial
on the gcc compiler including the binutils and the debugger apart from the info
files?
Any link greatly appreciated
Martin

Hi,
my question is about programming the /dev/dsp device with the open,
close, read, and write commands.
I am currently working on a project that should be able to handle
several subsequent play commands, i.e. it should queue up all the
buffers it has to play and play them one after the other.
I am doing this by just calling the function write for each play command
and it works.
My problem is, I have to control or at least to know when each buffer
starts to play (i.e. when the dsp device starts to play the samples in
the buffer) and when it stops playing to control my own queue.
Is there any way to get feedback from the dsp? Or is there a way to make
the calling program stop until the write command finished, as it does
with the read command?

Yeah, it was linking with gcc I meant - I have never had the need (under
Linux) to use ld directly.
-rdynamic switch to gcc adds -export-dynamic to linker flags.
I have no idea where I found about about the -rdynamic flag.. but you can
get a bit out of reading the specs file for the compiler, which is
in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/$PLATFORM/$VERSION:
*link:
-m elf_i386 %{shared:-shared} %{!shared: %{!ibcs: %{!static:
%{rdynamic:-export-dynamic} %{!dynamic-linker:-dynamic-linker
/lib/ld-linux.so.1}} %{static:-static}}}
if rdynamic is set, then -export-dynamic is added to linker flags (but
only if static is not set nor is ibcs nor is shared).
Oh - the comp.unix.programmer FAQ describes this too in some more depth (
especially for other non-Linux platforms).

However, the user need-not know that they are compiling software. When

I did complain when they phoned me a month ago to ask if I was
satisfied. Actually, it turned out to be easier than I thought -
I just copied the final bit of HTML to http://jon.thackray.org/ib.html
and (as I suspected) it works fine under Linux (hurrah for Java!
yah-boo-sucks to ActiveX and Microsoft)
But they ought to provide a link which says 'Click here to use at
your own risk' if they can't be bothered to support every platform.
At least it's not ActiveX like some other mis-guided corporates use.
Thanks for all your responses...
Jon (happy again :-)

After installing a new drive (old one dying) last night, and recompiling
the kernel to 2.2.1, it doesn't want to boot.
When I get through lilo, it says "Ok, booting the kernel" and stays
there.
Before the old HD failed. 2.2.1 was working on this system, as does
booting into 2.0.36.

Some of us do.
So we have built applets with Java Studio (all beans no coding,
luverely)
I use Netscape. All works fine.
I try to run them in IE and IE announces error java.lang.NoClassDefFound

It's true that ultimately the bank should fix this, but in the mean
time, if changing uname() would really fix the problem, this should be
easy to do so that it only affects netscape. Simply put your modified
version of uname in a shared library, and use LD_PRELOAD to get
netscape to use your version of uname instead of the libc version.
Email me if you don't know how to do this.

I start the kernel with 'root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=<host>:<path-to-root>'. It
do the BOOTP handshake to get it's IP number, and then crashes with

Of course, I know this quite well. How ever, IMO, the GUI in MacOS X
Server is the best GUI ever developed for a Unix-like OS.

Just because someone might have ideas and opinions which might conflict
with yours regarding an OS (big shock), does not qualify them as a

Okay, I am flip-flopping:
If there is any one single cause that will hinder Linux's growth and
acceptability over M$, it is the population of self-righteous morons in
linux.advocacy and their attitudes of "if you don't agree with me 100%

It's not an OS. It's a user interface. This alone
is enough to clue in the rest of us that you have
none (clues that is) or are just trying to be
inflammatory. The trollishness looks the same either
way.

I understand your problem but changing the output from uname is
not the answer. There is no good reason why Barclays internet banking,
or any other such service, should need to check what OS is being used.
The fault is theirs and messing up uname will only break software that
does need to know what OS it is running on.
It's time website designers realized that people do use computers
other than Windows. Non-portable stuff such as Shockwave and
non-portable uses of Java/JavaScript should therefore be avoided.

Oh, and there isn't anybody like that in the windows advocacy groups?
I've heard shit like "Windows NT is robust", "Windows is reliable", "You
have cheap memory" quite a few times from windows advocates. It usually
makes me laugh, but sometimes it pisses me off. Those are just plain
lies! If that stuff is true, then why has the old Packard Bell that
used to crash under NT once a week at least, been up for 80 days under
Linux?

Hi,
i'm working on a project for my operating systems class, where we
attempt to emulate a unix-like system in software. Processes are
represented in multiple threads and the entire OS runs as a single
UNIX process. It uses UNIX text file to simulate a file system.
I was wondering if someone could point out to me several priority
based scheduling algorithms to schedule threads within my program.
There are a few threads that handle networking and interprocess
communication that run all the time and need to be given higher
priority then user "processes". But i don't want them to hog up all
the cycles. especially things like FTP daemon.
If you could reply by e-mail i would be much obliged.
Thanks in advance.
