Linux distro for devs?

<< < (8/8)

Pecan:
when I leave andLinux unattended for some time, like walking or feeding my pup,  all my terminals and pgms terminate; disappear.

Why is this and how can I stop it.

Yeah, yeah, I know, the dog ate it.

i'm still with wx 2.6.3 on my andlinux - has anyone built wxWidgets 2.8.4 and C::B already on andlinux ?

in the old ubuntu repository i can't find wx 2.8.4, is it possible to use newer ubuntu repositories also when running an older ubuntu ?

thanks,
brgds, tiwag

I did. But unfortunately my andLinux installation died.

Now I'm happy with VMware. :)

tiwag:
ok i've updated my ancient andlinux with wxWidgets 2.8.4

it was not very complicated,
on the wxWidgets download page there is a link to a repository,
with a few changes it works also with andlinux res. ubuntu 6.10 edgy

the repository

--- Code: ---    deb http://apt.tt-solutions.com/ubuntu/ edgy main

--- End code ---

has to be added to the file

--- Code: ---    /etc/apt/sources.list

--- End code ---

then run

--- Code: ---    apt-get update

--- End code ---
and you get some errors about untrustet public key.
the commands how to add the public key used for signing wxWidgets packages
to the list of keys trusted by apt are described in the /etc/apt/sources.list
just run them with the key you got from the last apt-get update command.

finally run another

--- Code: ---    apt-get update

--- End code ---

or use synaptic and update the repositories.

then all wx2.8.4 packages are available.

hth,
brgds, tiwag


ps. CB built fine !

I'm looking for a linux distribution (best would be a live-cd) that ships with the most important development tools - thus at least gcc/g++ and wxGTK (2.6.x). I don't have massive space so if there is a distro which is especially designed for this purpose I'd like to know. It doesn't need a fancy desktop but it should be able to run C::B. And if I can simply boot into this system without installation - great!!!
With regards, Morten.

Does anyone have heard of "puppy linux" is a great distro that runs from a live cd and use the ram as a file system (only 128mb needed) :shock:, also can run from a jump drive. It loads really fast, works with every Ethernet card, even with wireless, printers ,etc... very easy to configure. Is loaded with all the needed applications for everyday use, and very light applications (really fast for old computers).

The most important thing, it can be customized to make a custom distro of this one. For example graphpup a distro based in puppy linux that is for graphical artists (includes:gimp,inkscape,scribus, etc...).

One time I was thinking on making my own distro of puppy linux for development. It would be nice to create a distro of puppylinux loaded with codeblocks and other useful tools for developers. With some name like myDevPup, The perfect pet for developers.  :P

I just bought a 3.8 ounces 40 gigs hard drive that I can carry anywhere, and installed ubuntu and i forgot the whole thing, but it would be nice.  :)
