The Digital Machine hive has moved, after massive disturbance to the nest. To chronicle the story… (continued…)
Team Foundation Server (TFS) continues the long Microsoft tradition of horrible source control. It’s getting more annoying every day working with proprietary tools where some corporation decided how I should get my work done. Or in this case, not get my work done. TFS works, for the most part (which is more than you can say for Visual SourceSafe, its predecessor). But if you have a large number of shared projects under one directory, don’t even think about grabbing just one of them. Awesome. Here’s why… (continued…)
I have been so happy with my gentoo boxes lately, having had zero problems for the past few months, and no itch to bump. I must have lucked out and hit a really stable spot in the ever-changing world of open source.
But I don’t want to get too comfortable. Much longer and I probably won’t have a clean upgrade path. Besides, I think I smell something shiny out there somewhere… Seriously, I am looking forward to the latest XBMC changes. That software absolutely rocks.
Here we go! (continued…)
msysgit sucks.
Here‘s how to get it to work with your ssh key.
UPDATE: CDB (the Qt name for the Windows debugger) sucks – no variable monitoring, etc. Useless. If you can, switch to Visual Studio to build Qt apps under windoze. See these posts instead.
The last time I set up to build my Qt apps under Windoze, I just selected the Mingw option and everything seemed to work just fine. For some reason I fell down the rabbit hole of using Visual Studio this time. I could give two craps about that, I just want it to work and get out of the way. But I had to stumble through these steps first:
- Install Visual Studio 2010
- Install LGPL Qt SDK for Windows
- Also install Visual Studio Add-in from the same page
- Add c:\Qt\4.7.1\bin to the PATH variable.
- Build Qt from a Visual Studio prompt:
cd C:\Qt\2010.05\qt rm /S /Q c:\Qt\2010.05\qt\tmp nmake confclean nmake clean configure -debug-and-release -opensource -shared -no-qt3support -qt-sql-sqlite -phonon -phonon-backend -webkit -platform win32-msvc2003 nmake
- Install Debugging Tools for Windows 32-bit Version. Only install the shit in the red circle:
- Then browse here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Redist\Debugging Tools for Windows
and run dbg_x86.msi to install the 32-bit stuff…
- Then run QT, select Tools->Options, and select this path in the CDB tab:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86)
… what bs…
- Write some freakin’ QT code, geesh…
