Hey folks,
I was wondering how the C pre-processor interfaces with make. Let's suppose
that I have a little C program, something along the lines of:
#include
int
main()
{
#ifdef FOO
fprintf(stdout, "Hi, my name is foo.\n");
#endif
#ifdef BAR
fprintf(stdout, "Hi, my name is bar.\n");

You probably are wrong, it's more a case of you
I'm trying to batch-rip audio files from a bunch of video files.
I have a directory full of *.vob files:
ls *.vob
01.vob 03.vob 05.vob 07.vob 09.vob 11.vob 13.vob
02.vob 04.vob 06.vob 08.vob 10.vob 12.vob

One of my machines is suddenly complaining that it can't find libxcb.so.2.
This is probably an issue related to a recent attempt to update the software
on this machine, so I figured I'd just rebuild the port that provides this
library, but I can't figure out how to determine which on that would be.
