New-Make ready for hyperjump and KDE Menu's How-To
This is somewhat advanced stuff but.. maybe not. It might also appeal to anyone who has a little talent for tinkering who needs to set up a KDE menu for an application that doesn't have one. See warning below, however.
Today's features
Last of the first generation new-make installer/uninstallers (probably).
Usage example that installs and uninstalls a dummy application and icons into the KDE menus.
After that last rant about screwy software, I found some GREAT software. mpg123 is outstanding.
Today's Features
Me eating my words, even about assembler coding. ;-)
Famous last words galore! I even have to eat my words about asm. In fact this app is so cool I had to add the ability to compile asm and C sources in the same directory to the mc2 code.
MPG123 (sandboxed relocatable binary installation OR compile from code, modify, experiment, etc.) is linked...
If you're curious about what the hash32_enum thing in the previous blog entry would look like in assembler, this is the output using the --save-temps gcc flag.
We've resurrected some dead code that was pretty ugly but the only worse MESS (officially sanctioned, no less) than STL that we've ever seen is the spaghetti in lex/flex output. -- The Computer Mad Science Dept.

Behind the scenes, some of the more complex tools are getting incorporated into lq-qt-mc2. Should have an upload in a day or two. lq-find will kock your socks off.. now tuned up and ready for the big time. :-) v. 3.0.14 coming soon.
Today's Features
Create a shortcut with a shortcut icon, directories - OK!
Another new.<utility> using the mc2 extras demo (env-replace)
Revisiting the utility to create a self extractor using base64
