OK I don't really have a good title yet but I figure I can post works in progress and other tips I've come across or other interesting things.

slackware64 multilib QT issues

Posted 09-17-2009 at 06:13 PM by lumak (Lumak's Guide to Random Things)

Tags cmake, multilib, qt4, slackware64

UGH! ok I was trying to compile q4wine for god knows what reason and half the variables in the build/CMakeCache.txt were pointing to /usr/lib64/qt and the other half were pointint to /usr/lib/qt.

I solved my issue by adding

Code:

CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX/qt \

on the line right before
cmake \

Hope this helps somebody else with cmake and qt problems.

EDIT: I added a new script for 195.36.24 as well as a script to compile libvdpau-compat32 on a 64 bit system. I never hear any feedback on this stuff... is it working for other people? Do I have errors anywhere?

ORIGINAL POST:
I'm one of those people that personally don't like installing things on my system without having proper packages made for tracking the files. As such I edited the scripts on SlackBuilds.org for an additional package to support this.

man to pdf converter

EDIT:
while it was fun to do, this was actually completely useless. Just hotkey your terminal and type "man'! Original post as follows.

I recently got a tablet PC and instantly wanted to fill it with a wealth of knowledge. This lead me to want PDFs of the man pages. Luckily, man can output in post script and there is a ps2pdf converter on most Linux distributions... But you may not want to convert them manually and you may want a nice folder structure for them....

Fluxbox/Openbox - calendar in menu

Tags calendar, fluxbox

MOVED: added this to the fluxbox wiki as "Calendar Menu" updates may be posted here or there.

Here is a nifty thing to include a calendar printout in your fluxbox menu. It currently coded in bash and is very crude. The print out only looks best when your menu is left justified and the text is mono spaced. An optional fix for this may be to convert spaces to underscore (not yet implemented).

create a directory ~/.fluxbox/cal and place the attached script...

Fluxbox - Terminal Window PC Game Style

Tags fluxbox, fps terminal

MOVED: I added this to the fluxbox wiki under "Category:Configuration howtos" Any changes may go on either. Enjoy.

Warning. I tried this on my much older 32 bit laptop and it didn't respond that quickly to toggling the consoles. I'm guessing that long bit of code for the key command actually takes more processing than I thought.

OK I realized I could make xterm (any terminal?) act like the command console in a FPS game. So here are all the settings...
