Suffix rules in Makefile
5.4-STABLE #0: Sun Apr 24 08:30:32 MDT 2005
Hi:
I am having trouble with a .SUFFIXES based Makefile. If I use this
Makefile containing .out:
INCLUDES= -Wall -I/usr/local/include
LINK= -L/usr/local/lib
LIBS= -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm
.SUFFIXES : .c .o .out
.o.out:
${CC} ${LINK} -o $@ $ ${LIBS}
.c.o:
${CC} ${INCLUDES} -c $
$ make complexPow.out
cc -O2 -pipe -march=pentiumpro complexPow.c -o complexPow.out
complexPow.c:4:29: gsl/gsl_complex.h: No such file or directory
snip
it's not finding it's includes.
However if I change the .out extension to .OUT it works:
INCLUDES= -Wall -I/usr/local/include
LINK= -L/usr/local/lib
LIBS= -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm
.SUFFIXES : .c .o .OUT
.o.OUT:
${CC} ${LINK} -o $@ $ ${LIBS}
.c.o:
${CC} ${INCLUDES} -c $
$ make complexPow.OUT
cc -Wall -I/usr/local/include -c complexPow.c
cc -L/usr/local/lib -o complexPow.OUT complexPow.o -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm
Why does the .SUFFIXES definition for .out, in the first Makefile
not work? I looked in /usr/share/mk/sys.mk and did not see a
definition for .o.out either.

Licensing fees aren't necessarily the largest or even a significant expense for a business. Ted and others: This guy is a troll plain and simple. From his website: http://www.atkielski.com/inlink.php?/main/TechnicalFAQ.html FreeBSD currently is a winning solution for servers from a technical standpoint. Unfortunately, FreeBSD is unsupported, and trying to deal with other users of the OS or the people who control it is a nightmarelike the Linux community, they are fanatically devoted to their OS and will tolerate no differences of opinion, or even any questions that they find less than gushingly complimentary of the system. If you think the FreeBSD community is a nightmare then why are you sticking around except to stir up strife ? For another you can lay off half your IT staff that you hired to spend their days running around and cleaning viruses and trojans off the systems that get past the AV filters. No, you have to keep them and hire more to keep the open-source stuff running, since it is less likely to work on unusual configurations and there is no support for it. With open source you save the licensing fees, but you must pay out at least as much (in most cases) for qualified IT staff to support the open source, because there is no formal support for it and it is far less likely to work out of the box on all the configurations you might wish to use. I'm looking at proof of this right now. Windows NT installed on this HP Vectra without a hitch, and ran flawlessly on the machine for eight years. FreeBSD installed okay, but it won't boot (unless I boot from the installation diskettes and then switch to the hard drives), and it generates SCSI errors continually, occasionally terminating in a panic. And when I tried Mandrake Linux, it wouldn't install at all--it died after the first screen. Multiple this by 30,000 seats, and you begin to see the problem. And this is to say nothing of now you don't have your IT staff running around putting machines back to rights because the employee has brought a disk of something in from the outside, and tried installing it and it blew her system. You'll have that problem no matter what you install on the machine, particularly if you have an OS installed that cannot be locked down against local users. Why do you think that Gates announced a few weeks ago that Windows AntiSpyware will be free after the beta period? I don't know. Do you think that the large corporate customers all are sitting around wondering why everyone else is so upset over the amount of lost time consumed by viruses? Large corporate customers that don't want problems lock down their machines. However, I'll grant that if a large enterprise truly wants a problem-free desktop, it might be better off installing Linux or UNIX. But to make this work it would have to customize the OS a lot so that the end user can do absolutely nothing beyond what the system allows him to do. For example, you could build and configure it to support a few key corporate applications, and nothing else. By carefully configuring and building the OS, you can make it impossible for users to add anything new without completely reinstalling a different OS. This essentially turns PCs into workstations or terminals, but in many organizations, that's exactly what one needs. This is not an out-of-the-box installation, though. You'd have to develop your own tweaked version of the software and install it specifically on certain hardware configurations for which it had been customized. This could cause problems with hardware acquisition since it requires a great deal of central control. This can be done with Windows, but it requires a lot of work up front, and the option of customizing the OS to completely exclude certain functionalities isn't there. Provide support for this statement. That's the key word: support. For open source, there isn't any. Many companies cannot afford to use unsupported products, even if they are free. -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Mark: The Epson Stylus C20UX is fully supported according to LinuxPrinting.org: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_C20UX Use the gimp print drivre they suggest at that URL. That means that you can use CUPS and Gimp Print in FreeBSD. 1) Install cups and gimp print (in /usr/ports/print) 2) cd (as root i.e. #) to /usr/local/etc/rc.d and copy the cups.sh.sample to cups.sh 3) Make sure that cups.sh is executable. 4) do: # ./cups.sh start 5) now that the cups daemon is started do: # lynx http://localhost:631/admin (you can also do this from a user account using a regular browser). In both cases you will have to log into root. The web browser will pop up a login. 6) You can now add a new printer through your browser. See the screenshots here for an example: http://www.silbsd.org/CUPS-NetBSD_landscape.html I know this is for NetBSD but from step 5 to 15 it's the same on FreeBSD. As for the USB part, that is handled during the web browser configuration.

Re: Printer problems
Hello Earl: Linux Printing Org does not show your particular printer: All Compaq printers http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Compaq Linux Printing Org lists the availability of CUPS drivers. You may be able to get it working with CUPS. I have a short tutorial here for NetBSD. It is almost the same in FreeBSD. http://www.silbsd.org/CUPS-NetBSD_landscape.html On Sun, 11 Jul 2004 22:58:54 -0500, Earl Larsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tried to get my printer to work.

Re: Moving my Outlook PST file to any BSD E-mail client
From the Ximian Evolution support knowledge base: http://support.ximian.com/cgi-bin/ximian.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=yOj4eYfhp_lva=p_faqid=59p_created=995655179p_sp=cF9ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTg1JnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9JnBfcHJvZF9sdmwxPTImcF9wYWdlPTE*p_li= How do I import my Outlook .pst files into Evolution? Question As my previous email client, I used Microsoft Outlook. How can I import my old email and contacts from Outlook? Answer Evolution cannot import these files directly into Evolution because the .pst format is a proprietary format, and access to it requires the use of the MAPI.DLL library, which can only be read by applications running in Windows. However, there are two applications that can convert the files for you: Outport and Mozilla. You will be running these applications under Windows and we cannot guarantee that they will work, nor can we support them. You can also export address information to CSV format and then convert it to a format that Evolution understands.

Re: GUIDE
Hi: You can follow the instructions here: http://www.silbsd.org/cvsup_instructions2.html However in step B change: # src-all tag=RELENG_4_8 # to: # src-all tag=RELENG_4_9 # I also urge you to read Section 9 of the FreeBSD handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html and section 22: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html The FreeBSD handbook is the authority on accepted admin and configuration practices. I would also suggest reading this before updating your ports collection: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html In fact the entire FreeBSD Basics series is quite good: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/ct/15 Books I would recommend : FreeBSD: An Open-Source OS for your PC http://www.bsdmall.com/freebosforyo.html The Complete FreeBSD http://www.bsdmall.com/cofr.html On Tue, 06 Jul 2004 07:14:10 +0800, snoop dogg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hello there, i have FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE installed in my machine.. but i need to upgrade my 4.9-RELEASE to 4.9-STABLE. any help? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello Chintan: In addition to Chris' advice I heartily recommend the tutorials at FreeBSD basics: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/ct/15 I also find Greg Lehey's The Complete FreeBSD to be a very good reference book.
