Locate vs Find

I was wondering about the different between the two. I found my answer here http://osdir.com/ml/linux.newbie/2004-11/msg00075.html. It basically say that find is meant to perform action on file and find is just a side effect if you will. Where as locate is just to find file.

1. Installing Compiler And Configuration Tools

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake libtool cmake-gui

2. Ogre Dependencies

sudo apt-get install libois-dev libfreeimage-dev libfreetype6-dev libzzip-dev libxaw7-dev libglew1.5-dev libxrandr-dev

3. Ogre Optional Packages

sudo apt-get install doxygen graphviz nvidia-cg-toolkit libboost-thread-dev libcppunit-dev

4. Install Ogre

You can get the latest source from here.Now create two folders. One will hold the source codes. The other one will hold the configured source code of Ogrea, ready to be compiled. I have it set up like this:

/home/username/dev
/home/username/dev/ogre_build

Extract the source to the "dev" folder. You should have:

/home/username/dev/ogre

Now open a terminal and run cmake-gui.

where is the source code: /home/username/dev/ogre
where to build the binaries: /home/username/dev/ogre_build

Once you have selected the folder click configure. In the new window that appears leave the setting at default. It should look like this:

unix makefiles
use default native compilers

Once you are done with that window just click finish. Now check this options to make fallowing the tutorials easier.

ogre_install_samples
ogre_install_samples_source

Once you're done click configure again then on generate. Now you can close the window. Go back to the terminal and enter this:

cd /home/username/dev/ogre_build
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

Note: you can use make -j 4 on duo-core processor to speed up the process.
Note: if you installed doxygen and graphviz you can make doc to generate html documentation.

5. Cegui Dependencies

sudo apt-get install libpcre++-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libjpeg62-dev

6. Cegui Optional Packages

sudo apt-get install doxygen graphviz

7. Installing Silly

Dependence needed by the editors. Get the latest source from here. Extract it to "dev" folder so it look like this:

/home/username/dev/silly-0.1.0

Now open a terminal and do:

cd /home/username/dev/silly-0.1.0
./configure
make
sudo make install

8. Install Cegui

Get the latest source here. Extract it to the "dev" folder so it look like this:

/home/username/dev/cgui-0.7.1

Now open a terminal and do:

cd /home/username/dev/cgui-0.7.1
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

note: if you installed doxygen and graphviz you can make html to generate html documentation.

9. Installing Celayereditor

Get the latest source from here. Extract it to the "dev" folder so it look like this:

/home/username/dev/celayouteditor-0.7.1

Now open a terminal and do:

cd /home/username/dev/celayouteditor-0.7.1
./configure
make
sudo make install

Now you have to select the datafiles folder from the source folder when the editor start for the first time.

/home/username/dev/celayouteditor-0.7.1/datafiles

Now you will need to copy to file to datafiles/fonts folder from the datafiles/font folder of cegui source. you need to copy this two file:

/home/username/dev/cegui-0.7.1/datafiles/dejavusans.ttf
/home/kamil/dev/cegui-0.7.1/datafiles/dejavusans-10.font

to

/home/username/dev/celayouteditor-0.7.1/datafiles/fonts

10. Installing Ceimageeditor

Get the latest source from here. Extract it to "dev" folder so it look like this:

/home/username/dev/ceimageseteditor-0.7.1

Now open a terminal and do:

cd /home/username/dev/ceimageseteditor-0.7.1
./configure
make
sudo make install

11. Installing Ode

Get the latest source from here. Extract it to "dev" folder so it look like this:

/home/username/dev/ode-0.11.1

Now open a terminal and go to that source folder like so:

cd /home/username/dev/ode-0.11.1
./configure
make
sudo make install

12. Using ogre, cegui, ode with code::blocks

To install code::blocks, open a terminal and run:

sudo apt-get install codeblocks

Start code::blocks and make a new ogre project. Now go to Project > Build options and make sure you select the you project name. In Compiler setting > Other options you should have something like this:

`pkg-config --cflags OGRE`
`pkg-config --cflags CEGUI`
`pkg-config --cflags OIS`
`pkg-config --cflags ode`
`pkg-config --cflags CEGUI-OGRE`
-fexceptions

In linker settings > link libraries you should have:

GL

In linker settings > Other linker options you should have:

`pkg-config --libs OGRE`
`pkg-config --libs CEGUI`
`pkg-config --libs OIS`
`pkg-config --libs ode`
`pkg-config --libs CEGUI-OGRE`

In Search directories > Compiler you should have:

/usr/local/share/OGRE/samples/Common/include
/usr/local/include/CEGUI/RendererModules/Ogre

Now you should be all set to start the tutorials.

15. Uninstalling Ogre Optional Packages

sudo apt-get remove doxygen graphviz nvidia-cg-toolkit libboost-thread-dev libcppunit-dev

16. Uninstalling Ogre

There isn't a way to uninstall ogre with make other then manually remove the file.At lest not that I found anyway.

Nix package manager

I've came acros an intresting software NIX. It a package manager that eliminates the dependency hell. The package manager is an non destroctive which mean that it doesn't overwrite the old version of software but they co-exist. There is also an os based os NIX called NixOS. Now only if the human could be the same.

E17 on Archlinux

E17 is a good but it doesn't come with alot of application. So now that I found all there program for a complit desktop I'll post them.

Desktop envirement: E17

sudo pacman -S e17-svn e17-extra-svn

Package manager: yaourt

You have to add a repository to the pacman config file like this:

sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf

then add at the end:

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686


then you can do:

sudo pacman -S yaourt

File manager: pcmanfm

Although E17 does come with it's own but i don't like it much.

sudo pacman -S pcmanfm

Terminal: xterm or lxterminal

Lxterminal has copy/paste so that why I like it xterm doesn't.

sudo pacman -S lxterminal

sudo pacman -S xterm

Browser: Firefox

sudo pacman -S firefox

File compresor: Xarchiver

sudo pacman -S xarchiver

CD/DVD burning: Graveman

sudo pacman -S graveman

Music player: cmus

sudo pacman -S cmus

Video player: VLC

sudo pacman -S vlc

Text editor/Programing: Geany

sudo pacman -S geany

Image editor: Gimp

sudo pacman -S gimp

Java IDE:

sudo pacman -S netbeans

Network manager: Wicd

sudo pacman -S wicd

Msn clone: Amsn

sudo pacman -S amsn

Office application Openoffice

sudo pacman -S openoffice-base

PDF reader: Acrobat Reader

yaourt -S acroread

Runing windows programs: Wine and/or virtualbox

sudo pacman -S wine

sudo pacman -S virtualbox

Task manager: lxtask

sudo pacman -S lxtask


And thas my complit desktop.

Archlinux and LG P1

I first started to use linux with Ubuntu. Then I explored all the posible distros that derived from Ubuntu but did find and think that I like. Then i explored alot of diffrent desktop environment like Gnome, Kde, Lxde, Openbox and a few more. I was looking something lightweight, good looking and have good support for laptops. As Ubuntu is very user friendly but is a bit heavy. Then I turned to Archlinux. It's very custemizeble and lighter then Ubuntu. It has a good community. At first I installed Gnome but then once I was more finilier with Archlinux I started to look for a liker alternative to Gnome. That when I found Enlightement and started to use the newest version E17. It look very good but I don't know about how light is it but it is more custumuzeble and easy at the same time with out taking out all the options. Now that a snopshoot E17 is in the repo of the Archlinux it easer to install. Althought, I am working on a script that would download and install the bleeding edge of E17 for svn repo. It's almost complite but still has bugs.

Now on my LG P1, the speaker don't work out of the box. To make them work I did:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.conf

Then add this line:

options snd-hda-intel model=lg

Now my speaker work flowlessly with ALSA.

To have the wireless card work I need to edit the /etc/rc.conf file:

sudo nano /etc/rc.conf

Then in the MODULES section add an ! to the ipw3945 module and add iwl3945 it should look like this:

MODULES=(!ipw3945 iwl3945 snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore)


The other modules are for sound. So far that the only this that I know about.

New place

I've change emails for my blog and tranfered the old post to the now home. Now I'm working on a few new thing so I'll have a script to install e17 from the svn soon ready. After that I'll start developing probram for e17 or improve the existing one.
