[OT] Porting Linux GCC code to windows
by Amish Mehta 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hi, Is there a easy solution to port GCC code to windows? Can it be done in VC++ without much change in the code? I tried DJGPP, but its missing few API's(rather functions), like message queues etc. Anyone have an idea? Amish. P.S. lots of C related questions are being put up recently. Is it allowed here? ;-)

Sorry I forgot to mention Cygwin. I checked it out too. But it doesnt support msg queues either. Or did I miss something? Or they are named differently? Anyway thanks a lot for help. Amish.

Hi Shahazad, Sorry that I didn't replied promptly(..I was offline for three days). You have to enable routing on the server.(If you are using linuxconf for configuration then you can do it by checking the checkbox in the Routing/Gateways option). You really don't have to enable ip_forwarding. The dns of the win98 client will be the ip of your proxy server(If you are running nameserver on the same machine and if you are not then the dns ip's provided by your ISP will work fine.) So in any case the dns order will be the proxyserver IP followed by the IPs provided by the ISP. Reply back if have any relative problem.

When you give MAIL FROM: someone(a)some.other.domain, the domain some.other.domain should be resolved by your local DNS or the DNS of your ISP. When you use some_other_login_on_my_linuxbox@localhost, sendmail knows that its a valid domain.

Installation Problem - Sun Solaris 8
by Soumen Dass 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

Hi ! First of all, this is a dedicated Linux group... but with so many Unix gurus, with lots of hope I'm posting this SMS (Save My Soul)... I have 20 X 2 HDDs... I installed Win2K on first on a dual boot basis with Lin 7.1 (the PCQ one - I guess youv'e got the same)... I left 1 GB as FAT16 for sharing the data between the two... The second HDD is lying idle... I tried installing Sun Solaris 8 on the 2nd HDD... on the beginning of the intallation itself (before scanning for hardware devices), it returned this error : ----------------- Warning : ACPI Tables not in Reclaim Memory (next screen) Warning : Resource Conflict - both devices are added Non - ACPI device : PNP0C01 Memory : 9FC00 - 9FFFF, FEE0000-FEF7FFF, FEF8000-FEFFFFF, FEC0000-FEDFFFF, FFF00000-FFFFFFF ACPI device : PNP0C01 Memory : 9FC00-9FFFF, E0000-EFFFF, 40FFC00-FEFFFF -------------- After this, all the hardware devices are scanned and no conflict sign is marked against each device found... it proceeds as usual and comes at the screen where it's about to start the installation with the option "Solaris Jumpstart" after which it's supposed to show the starting dialog box of the installation... but the screen goes white with a stationery cursor blinking at the top and the keyboard stops responding... Strangely, Linux or Windows do not report any such conflict and moreover, Solaris 7 itself did'nt give any such error and got installed normally... In the BIOS the ACPI setting has value S1 (which as the BIOS help consumes more power but is safe...) I tried after changing it to S3, but with same outcome... I'll be grateful it you guys can shed some light on this...

mail system queries
by abhijeet 30 Sep '01

30 Sep '01

hi i am using sendmail with fetchmail with procmail and pine......for my mail system on my linux box. 1.> Inspired by Philip's SMTP howto....i tried the following: i telnetted the port 25 on localhost......and tried to mail a message to my login....that's "abhije" now,i understand that the sendmail daemon identifies me as abhije@localhost(when i telnet the port 25)-- i get "IDENT:abhije@localhost.localdomain" as part of the response to HELO. when i say...... MAIL FROM:someone@some.other.domain ....it responds that the sender's address should resolve.....what does that mean??? i thought because it sends mail ......it should accept all sender addresses!!! At the same time.....if i say MAIL FROM:some_other_login_on_my_linuxbox@localhost the mail is sent....even if "some_other_login_on_my_linuxbox" knows nothing about it!!! my argument is that if it knows that i am abhije@localhost...and hence does not accept someone@some.other.domain....how does it accept mail from some_other_login??? i am new to sendmail..and smtp..could somebody help???? i know i could use something less scarier than sendmail.....but i need to know what's happening here...... 2.> Also is there some other mail client that has the address book facility???....i just need a break from pine..... 3.>I also have a yahoo inbox.....but the yahoo server doesn't flush the mail when polled!!!! could somebody explain that???? (yes..i have registered for pop3 access) bye abhijeet

Reminder: ACM Seminar on LaTex, Fri 28/9
by Durgesh D Rao 28 Sep '01

28 Sep '01

Dear Colleague, This is to remind you about the following event. Regards, - Durgesh, on behalf of ACM Mumbai ACM Seminar Friday, September 28, 2001 - 6:30 p.m. Title: LaTeX: A Document Preparation System Speaker: Vivek Mehta (NCST) Venue: Lecture Theatre, NCST, Juhu Abstract: LaTeX is a generic typesetting system that uses TeX as its formatting engine. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents, but it can be used for almost any form of publishing. LaTeX is especially great in a heterogeneous computing environment since it is not linked to any computer architecture or operating system. LaTeX is very flexible, easy to use, easy to learn and at the same time it allows professional typographic quality. UNIX users are fond of it, as it follows the ideology of most tools which were originally made for UNIX, i.e. a bit difficult to start with, but very fast (and smooth) once you get to know it. LaTeX has nowadays regained a lot of popularity irrespective of the fact that you have applications like MSWord around. This has a lot to do with the advent and the amazing spread of Linux installations in India and abroad. About the Speaker: Vivek Mehta works as a scientist in the KBCS division of NCST. He is interested in Natural Language Technology, Data Structures, tools for the UNIX platform and everything else :). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Durgesh D Rao (DDR) | Email: durgesh(a)ncst.ernet.in Research Scientist, KBCS Division | Ph: 6201606x372(w), 7563437(r) National Centre for Software Technology | Fax: +91-22-6210139 Gulmohar Rd 9, Juhu, Mumbai 400049, INDIA.| Web: www.ncst.ernet.in/~durgesh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It gives you a good idea of the current traffic and also weekly, monthly etc. I right now don't have the urls, but mrtg search in google will lead you to the right location.

hi everyone, as the Mumbai university has interoduced a subject called unix in C in the first year of engineering, our college ( Fr CRCE bandra) has got new computers (probably PIII with miles of disk space and ample of ram) which would be networked. now in the first year... there are 5 branches & 60 students per branch. disk space has to be alloted to these students... for their work. what would be the most efficient way of doing that ... -please suggest -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rahul Saxena: rahul"AT"inorg.org Fr.

Most importantly, you have to do some calculations regarding how much space to be alloted to each user. 5 branches and 60 per branch i.e max 350 users including misc. accounts. Thats not much. Partition /home and keep the max space on this partition so that future need may also suffice.

Philip wrote: >How do I tell rpm that I have installed some packages from tgz? It >refuses to install software that requires these files. AFAIK, you can't ... unless someone decides to write a utility which will do just that. The best way is to create an rpm out of the tarball - it's rather straightforward once you get the hang of how to create a spec-file. The only hard part is creating the list of files in it, which specifies what goes into the package. But that can be done by inspecting the output of "make -n install" in the tarball.
