VCEESetup

Note: If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional, there is no need to apply any of the steps listed below.

The following install packages are required:

	ISO	IMG
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition	download	download
Microsoft ® Windows Server® 2003 R2 Platform SDK	download	download

Steps:

1. Microsoft VCEE

1.1. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition

1.2. Start the IDE and follow the instructions from the start page.

2. Platform SDK

2.1. Install Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK

2.2. Follow the instructions to add your source, include and library paths (Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories) and modify corewin_express.vsprops file.

2.3. Add the additional include directory : $(platformsdkdir)\\Include\\atl, where $(platformsdkdir) is where your SDK is installed. You can set an environment variable in vsvars32.bat to reflect that.

2.4. Modify the following in the atlbase.h (the file should reside in $(platformsdkdir)\\Include\\)

Starting at line 287 in the original file:

/*
PVOID __stdcall __AllocStdCallThunk(VOID);
VOID __stdcall __FreeStdCallThunk(PVOID);

#define AllocStdCallThunk() __AllocStdCallThunk()
#define FreeStdCallThunk(p) __FreeStdCallThunk(p)

#pragma comment(lib, "atlthunk.lib")
*/

#define AllocStdCallThunk() HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, sizeof(_stdcallthunk))
#define FreeStdCallThunk(p) HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, p)

2.5. It is a very good idea to try to create and build a simple Win32 project in order to verify that all the modifications undertaken are in place.

3. Service Packs

3.1. Download Visual C++ 2005 Express SP1

Using port forwarding with PuTTY

Using port forwarding with PuTTY

This page briefly describes how to use port forwarding using the PuTTY SSH client. Port forwarding is useful when you need to use certain services which are normally only available within the institute.

Suppose you want to setup your PC at home to use our internal proxy server.

First, start PuTTY, specify the host you want to connect to, e.g. shell.cs.uu.nl and the SSH protocol:

Then, click the "Tunnels" tab and specify local port, remote host and port and click the [Add] button:

Finally, press the [Open] button to start the session:

You can, of course, save your settings in the first tab (Session) before you press the [Open] button.

The above example is the equivalent to the UNIX 'ssh' command:

ssh -L 3128:proxy:3128 your_username_here@shell.cs.uu.nl

It will forward the local port 3128 to host 'proxy', port 3128, via the SSH connection. PuTTY is an SSH client, so it will still spawn a terminal window. When you're finished using your forwarded connection(s) you can close this window.

Setting up a PDF printer in CUPS (in my case in Slackware)

1. Create a sub-directory in CUPS directory sturcture

Code:

mkdir /usr/lib/cups/pdf

Put the following script into the newly created directory, e.g

Code:

vim  /usr/lib/cups/pdf/ps2pdf.cups
i

Then highlight the following script with the mouse, and middle-click into the terminal session with vim open.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# Convert PostScript to PDF.
umask 002
OPTIONS=""
while true
do
       case "$1" in
       -*) OPTIONS="$OPTIONS $1" ;;
       *)  break ;;
       esac
       shift
done

if [ $# -lt 1 -o $# -gt 2 ]; then
       echo "Usage: `basename $0` [options...] input.ps [output.pdf]" 1>&2
       exit 1
fi

infile=$1;

if [ $# -eq 1 ]
then
       outfile=$1
else
       outfile=$2
fi

# Doing an initial 'save' helps keep fonts from being flushed between pages.
exec gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
       -sOutputFile=$outfile $OPTIONS -c save pop -f $infile
exec chmod a+r $outfile

After the middle-click, press ESC, :wq to save the file, followed by a

Code:

chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/pdf/ps2pdf.cups

to make it executable.


2. Create the backend

The next bit of our PDF printer driver goes into /usr/lib/cups/backend
The back-end directory holds several binary executables that take care of varied printing methods, e.g. parallel, usb, ...

We're now going to add a shell-script that handles pdf-files!

Code:

vim  /usr/lib/cups/backend/pdf
i

As before, copy & paste time

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
umask 002
PDFBIN=/usr/lib/cups/pdf/ps2pdf.cups
FILENAME=
# filename of the PDF File
PRINTTIME=`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S`
# no argument, prints available URIs
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
       if [ ! -x "$PDFBIN" ]; then
               exit 0
       fi
       echo "direct pdf \"Unknown\" \"PDF Creator\""
       exit 0
fi
# case of wrong number of arguments
if [ $# -ne 5 -a $# -ne 6 ]; then
       echo "Usage: pdf job-id user title copies options [file]"
       exit 1
fi
# get PDF directory from device URI, and check write status
PDFDIR=${DEVICE_URI#pdf:}
if [ ! -d "$PDFDIR" -o ! -w "$PDFDIR" ]; then
       echo "ERROR: directory $PDFDIR not writable"
       exit 1
fi
# generate output filename
OUTPUTFILENAME=
if [ "$3" = "" ]; then
       OUTPUTFILENAME="$PDFDIR/unknown.pdf"
else
       if [ "$2" != "" ]; then
               OUTPUTFILENAME="$PDFDIR/$2-$PRINTTIME.pdf"
       else
               OUTPUTFILENAME="$PDFDIR/$PRINTTIME.pdf"
       fi
       echo "PDF file: $OUTPUTFILENAME placed in: $PDFDIR" >> $LOGFILE
fi
# run ghostscript
if [ $# -eq 6 ]; then
       $PDFBIN $6 $OUTPUTFILENAME >& /dev/null
else
       $PDFBIN - $OUTPUTFILENAME >& /dev/null
fi

exit 0

And as before, this script needs to be made executable, too.

Code:

chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/backend/pdf

3. Download and install distiller.ppd

The printer definition file for distiller is freely available from the adobe-website, if you have a windows-installation handy follow steps 1 to 5 of the instructions...
If you don't: there's some other sites on the web that hold just the ppd rather than an installer. Google is your friend.

Once you have downloaded it add it to your CUPS' printer-model
directory:
cp distiller.ppd /usr/share/cups/model/distiller.ppd

and then, the second to last step:

4. Create the printer object

To be able to use all the pre-requisits that held us up ....

Code:

lpadmin -p PDF -v pdf:/directory/of/your/choice/ -E -P /usr/share/cups/model/distiller.ppd

5. Re-start CUPS

Now that all the set-up and installation is done, we need to let the CUPS daemon know about the new printer, too.

To achieve that we restart the daemon.

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.cups restart

And if all went well we should now have a printer-object that will create PDFs for us.

Using cygwin to view a remote xwindow

Using cygwin to view a remote xwindow

1) start cygwin vask shell
2) type startx
3) in the x~ window that appears, type:
xhost
where is the IP address of the server that hosts the window to which we want to connect
4) connect to machine using nortel
5) check the IP address of this machine in the nortel connection (e.g. 143.5.x.x)
6) launch a terminal window and connect a terminal window to Host machine ie JOE, REPETE
7) type export DISPLAY=:0.0 (where is the value from step 5)
8) you can now run the x application on the remote machine and all going well, it should appear on the local box (try xclock)

PHP Compile process in HPUX and Linux

a) Fix configure script. Somehow this does not detect right APACHE version on HPUX in case of APACHE2. I did not find the better way of doing it hence replace APACHE_VERSION=`expr $4 \* 1000000 + $5 \* 1000 + $6` to APACHE_VERSION="2000048" for version 2.0.48.

b) run
./configure --enable-libgcc --with-apxs2=/opt/hpws/apache/bin/apxs --with-oracle=/opt/oracle/rtcis/product/9.2.0 --with-oci8=/opt/oracle/rtcis/product/9.2.0 --with-dom -with-zlib

This builds the PHP with support of Oracle (tested with 8i and 9i), XML and Zlib.

c) vi ./libtool
search for deplibs_check_method and replace that with deplibs_check_method="pass_all"

d) make

e) Module build. :)

PHP 5.1.2 on Windows with ICE Enabled

Install Guide for PHP 5.1.2 with ICE on Windows 2003
=======================================
Install Process mentioned below is tested under environment.
Windows 2003
IIS 6.0
PHP 5.1.2

In order to install PHP 5.1.2 on Windows Server 2003 & configured the PHP on IIS.Here are the steps -

01. Download the source code, installer & binary of PHP 5.1.2 for windows. These are available at http://www.php.net/.
02. Run the installer in order to fetch all the dlls, which are unavailable in the binary, it will ask for the path use C:/PHP.
03. Use the binaries, extract the zipped folder & copy all the stuff to C:/PHP, you can check C:/PHP/ext will conatin all the dlls.
04. Move php5ts.dll to c:\windows\php5ts.dll.

Installation of PHP 5.1.2 on Windows Server 2003 is over. PHP5 is now installed on your computer, but you still need to configure it to work with IIS, which we will do in the next step.Now, configured the PHP on IIS -

01. Under Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, right-click on "Web Service Extensions" in the menu on the left.
02. Then select "Add a new Web service extension..." from the list.
03. Put extension name as "PHP".
04. Browse the file, by clicking at ADD, use C:\PHP\php5isapi.dll for php extension( Used php5isapi.dll for php extension, to avoid CGI error ).
05. Make sure you check the "Set extension status to Allowed" checkbox.
06. In "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager", left-click on "Web Sites" in the menu on the left and select "Properties". Next, select the "Documents" tab and click on "Add".To ensure that index.php documents open as a default they should be added as a "Content Page".
07. Copy php.ini-recommended from c:\PHP to C:\windows\phpini.

We have to upgrade the PHP for XSL and XSLT by entering the following into

c:\windows\php.ini - extension=php_xsl.dll & set extension_dir= "C:/PHP/ext".
After, this we will do the following for Ice extension for PHP:-

01. Install ICE Ice-3.0.0. This can be downloaded from http://www.zeroc.com/download.html.
02. Build the "IcePhp 3.0.1". (Use the source code for PHP5, for including the library paths) Dependency: Requires Ice for C++ and PHP 5.0.5 or 5.1.2. Here we are using PHP 5.1.2.IcePHP is available at http://www.zeroc.com/download.html.
03. Copy the php_ice.dll to the folder "C:/PHP/ext" from "IcePHP-3.0.1\bin\release".
04. Also copy all the dependencies of IcePhp Use Dependency Viewer Tool to identify this.
- icecpp.exe
- bzip2.dll
- msvcp71.dll
- msvcr71.dll
- ice30.dll
- iceutil30.dll
- slice30.dll
to c:/windows/system32.
05. After, this add the following lines in php.ini -extension=php_ice.dllice.slice = "-IC:/Development/APAL6/D3 C:/Development/APAL6/D3/D3I.ice -IC:/Development/APAL6/APAL3 C:/Development/APAL6/APAL3/APAL3I.ice"so that, the web pages can interact with the C++ APAL6 engine through ICE.
06. Also, make sure that, the PHP pages are using 07. Start the Service & enjoy the web pages on IIS!!.

Wiki - Three simple rules to edit pages

Here are three simple rules when people should know who edit pages on our Wiki server (not the basecamp server):

WordsWithCapitalLetters: All words with embedded capital letters are automatically treated as links to other documents. In this case, wiki would initially show the word wordsWithCapitalLetters like so (WordsWithCapitalLetters)? and allow you to click the hyperlinked question mark to edit/create the page. Once created, wiki would show the word like WordsWithCapitalLetters. The rule goes: if the first lowercase letter is preceeded by an uppercase letter and the word has more uppercase letters following the first lowercase letter the word will be hyperlinked.

((words between double braces)): All words enclosed with double braces are automatically treated as links to other documents. In this case, wiki would initially show the expression ((words between double braces)) like so (words between double braces)? and allow you to click the hyperlinked question mark to edit/create the page. Once created, wiki would show the word like words between double braces

D''''''ontLinkThis, A''''''ndThis, APAL3Test, allOrNothing, APAL3T''''''estCase, APAL3isCool: The six single quotes rule can be used to stop wiki from hyperlinking expressions which should not be hyperlinked. In these examples, wiki would strip the six single quotes simply display: DontLinkThis, AndThis, APAL3Test, allOrNothing, APAL3TestCases, APAL3isCool. The rule goes: if the first lowercase letter is preceeded by an uppercase letter and the word has more uppercase letters following the first lowercase letter the word will be hyperlinked unless you insert six single quotes immediately preceeding the first lowercase letter.

J2ME

Hi,

Got a chance to learn the J2ME from Experts. I hope it happens on Saturday (05/20/2006).
Looking forward to this.

Cheers
