Apache Ant 1.9.0 Released

By Anonymous
The Apache Ant team has announced the release of Apache Ant 1.9.0

Several changes are made in this release of Ant that have the possibility of breaking older environments (although probably unlikely).  The main one if these is that this new release requires a minimum of Java 5. The others are described as:

  • FixCRLF used to treat the EOL value ASIS to convert to the system property line.separator. Specified was that ASIS would leave the EOL characters alone, the task now really leaves the EOL characters alone. This also implies that EOL ASIS will not insert a newline even if fixlast is set to true. Bugzilla report 53036
  • The CommandLauncher hierarchy that used to be a set of inner classes of Execute has been extracted to the org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.launcher package.
  • Any FileResource whose represented File has a parent also has a basedir.
  • Removing the Perforce Ant tasks replaced by tasks supplied by Perforce Inc.
  • Setting the default encoding of StringResource to UTF-8 instead of null
  • Upgrade JUnit 4 to JUnit 4.11

Full details of all the issues fixed with this release can be found here.

This updated version of Ant can be downloaded form the project's download site.

A Simple Makefile for a GTK/GTKMM Project

By Anonymous
When compiling small applications, its fairly easy just to compile using g++ from the command line. If you’re compiling anything more complex than a single file, its probably easier to use a Makefile. This example Makefile demonstrates how to compile an application that uses the GTKMM library. NAME=my-app CFLAGS=-g -Wall -o $(NAME) GTKFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-3.0` SRCS=main.cc myapp.cc CC=g++ # Do all all: main # Compile main: $(SRCS) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SRCS) $(GTKFLAGS) # Clean clean: rm -f $(NAME) rm -f *.h~ rm -f *.cc~ rm -f Makefile~ rm -f *.glade~

Changing Default Search Provider in Firefox on Linux Mint

By
On Linux Mint, the default version of Firefox is installed and configured to allow the following search engines to be queried directly from the address bar: Yahoo! Startpage DuckDuckGo Wikipedia Mint defines these as the default available set of search engines based upon 3 criteria (funding to Linux Mint, privacy support and whether the search engine is non-commercial). Other search engines such as Google, Bing or Twitter, etc. can easily be added into the default version of Firefox however. To add a different search provider, browse to Search Engines At the bottom of the page, click on the icon of the requested search engine, then click on the ... button in the URL bar and select the Add Search Engine option. You then have the option to change the default search engine within Firefox preferences to your new choice.
