WangLu's Notes

最近需要在没有root的机器上配一个自己的编译环境，于是需要改一些环境变量，比如 CFLAGS="-I#/include" LDFLAGS="-L#/lib" PATH="#/bin" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="#/lib" LIBRARY_PATH="#/lib" MANPATH="#/man" C_INCLUDE_PATH="#/include" CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="#/include" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="#/lib/pkgconfig" 当然可能还需要其他的。 如果就按这么写明显有问题，比如PATH原先可能不是空的，所以应该写成PATH="#/bin:$PATH"，其他变量也类似。但是这样会有个更严重的问题，困扰了我一天。 问题出在C_INCLUDE_PATH,一般这个变量都是空的，所以按上面的方法添加自定义路径后变成了"#/include:"，而这个末尾的":"会被理解为末尾有个当前目录，即'.'，开头的':'以及中间的'::'会有同样情况。 另一方面，在使用automake编译的程序中，经常会出现-I.的编译参数，而且通常出现在最开始以保证当前目录是第一个被搜寻的路径。但是如果'.'出现了C_INCLUDE_PATH中，gcc会认为它是系统标准路径，于是命令行中的-I.会被忽略掉。这样搜索路径的顺序就改变了，就会出问题。 我是在编译binutils时发现的问题，很多目录里都有config.h，于是搜索路径的顺序很重要。 解决方法当然也很简单，就是麻烦一些，即判断一下原来的路径是否为空，避免添加多余的分隔符':'。 Recently I need to set up a development environment without root privilege, therefore I need to tweak several environment variables, for example:...

1. tidy, csstidy，两个小工具，可以优化html和css 2. perl安装模块： perl -MCPAN -e shell 3. python安装模块： easy_install 或 pip 4. gcc 查看本机CPU类型 gcc -v -mtune=native 5. bash 里面二重替换变量： eval B="$"$A, 举例来说如果A=X,X=100，那么这个语句之后B=100 6. Linux From Scratch: 详解从无到有编译一套Linux，值得一看 1. tidy & csstidy: 2 small tools for optimizing html and css files 2. to install perl modules: perl -MCPAN -e shell 3. to install python modules: use easy_install or pip 4. to view how gcc detects local cpu: gcc -v -mutune=native 5. to recursively substitute variables in bash: eval B="$"$A, for example when A=X and X=100, then the previous statement results in B=100 6. Linux From Scratch: describing how to build a complete Linux from nothing, worth reading.

尽管之前杂记里提了一下，但是现在还是特别再记录一下。 其实是偶然从linuxtoy里的脚本看到了这个主题名字，感觉很漂亮。然后深入搜了一下。 这个主题对比度相对比较低，或者说亮度上的对比度比较低，而主要靠色相来提高肉眼辨识度。 另外它的一个精妙的地方在于，颜色经过精心挑选，不论是深色背景还是浅色的，前景色都能很好的显示 以下是各种链接，除了我提到了还有一些其他的（我不常用的和没听说过的） 主页： http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized 主git源: vim,emacs,mutt,gimp palette,Xresources https://github.com/altercation/solarized sigurdga的fork: gnome-terminal https://github.com/sigurdga/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized seebi的fork: dircolors, tmux https://github.com/seebi/solarized 我的fork: 256color for gnome-terminal and guake https://github.com/coolwanglu/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized 我的fork: Guake https://github.com/coolwanglu/guake-colors-solarized 说明 1. guake和gnome-terminal用的gconf类似，手工copy一下就行。不过我打算写个脚本，顺便学学git 2.terminal的主题一定要配合dircolors一起用，否则ls出来会很难看 3.vim里有多种选项可以配置主题 4. 原来gnome terminal那个是16色的port，我fork并改出一个256色的，另外加入了guake的支持 5.256色是终端不使用这个主题时的临时方法，所以我原来的理解有问题，于是分离出一个单独的guake源 Although I've already mentioned this theme in the previous misc notes, but now I've decided to introdu...

我希望发邮件时显示中文名字，但是默认是名在前姓在后，修改方法: mail settings -> accounts and import -> send email as -> edit info When sending email, I want my Chinese name displayed with my email address, but by default the first name appears first, to change this: mail settings -> accounts and import -> send email as -> edit info

1. Firefox 全屏时显示地址栏和标签栏，设置browser.fullscreen.autohide=false 2. 禁用一个upstart的服务: echo "manual" >> xxx.conf，natty的upstart版本支持了override文件，于是可以 echo "manual" >> xxx.override 3. bootchart小工具可以分析开机时各程序启动，资源占用等情况，另有pybootchartgui可以将结果转换成图片查看 4. colortest 用于测试终端对颜色支持情况 5. synapse 一个 gnome-do 替代品，不依赖mono，重启compiz也不会崩溃 6. vimperator 最近又用了一下，比以往好了很多，装上以后多了各种快捷键，同时也不影响原来的界面。对gmail和google reader有冲突，之需要按一下ctrl+z 7. solarized 一个很不错的颜色主题，可以用于vim mutt terminal等等，很不错。也有对gnome-teriminal的移植，但是我这里显示效果不是很好 8. Terminus 一个很不错的终端字体，适用于小字号 1. To show the location bar and tab bar when Firefox is in fullscreen mode, set browser.fullscreen.autohide=false 2. To disable an upstart service: echo "manual" >> xxx.conf. Staring from Natty, upstart has supported the override files, so we may use: echo "manual" >> xxx.override 3. bootchart is a small tool to visualize the performance (of programs, resources) in the boot process, and pybootchartgui is availabl...

早就听说过Mutt,但是之前每个教程都是大长篇的关于mutt, fetchmail/getmail, sendmail的配置，令人畏惧。 最近下决心试试这个所谓最好的邮件客户端，搜了几个教程发现sendmail不怎么要配，而mutt有收邮件功能（我只用gmail），所以只需要配mutt。 研究了两天终于配好了muttrc，而后几天慢慢研究新功能，现在基本功能都会了，确实很好用！ 我的.muttrc放在了github上 然后需要提的一些 1.取消命令需要按Ctrl+g 2.默认w3m不能很好的识别编码，解决方法是在~/.mailcap里加入一行 text/html; /usr/bin/w3m -I %{charset} -dump -T text/html '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html 注意"-I %{charset}"这个参数 3.需要用smime_keys init建立需要的有关smime证书的目录，然后信任的根证书放在mutt的变量smime_ca_location里。我放到了~/.smime/ca-bundle.crt 4.mailto的配置，gnome有个小bug，preferred application选了mutt后不能默认勾上run in terminal，导致mutt不能正常运行。解决办法就是选custom，勾上run in terminal再选mutt 5.搜到了muttator，里面说mutt如何如何不好，呵呵。这个thunderbird插件也挺有趣的，回头再看看。 6.在全屏的guake里开一个tmux，然后再在tmux里开mutt，太爽了。 最后是一些link 关于muttrc配置 /usr/share/doc/mutt/* http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/howto/howto_setup_mutt_with_gmail_imap http://wiki.muttqq:s.org/?UserStory/GMailOverIMAP https://github.com/redondos/mutt http://therandymon.com/woodnotes/mutt/usi...

如下Latex代码编译会出错： \begin{eqnarray} a &=& b \\ [a] &=& [b] \\ \end{eqnarray} 原因是[a]被识别成了\\后跟的长度，于是报错，于是需要把[转义，写成{[}就好了。 The following Latex code won't compile: \begin{eqnarray} a &=& b \\ [a] &=& [b] \\ \end{eqnarray} and the reason is that [a] is recognized as the length parameter of \\. So [ should be escaped, if written as {[} there won't be error any more.

经常换鼠标主题，经常好奇的看看里面内容，然后经常发现里面诡异的名字，比如这个:'00008160000006810000408080010102' 一直找不到这种名字的命名规范，最近要做一个主题转换脚本，于是仔细搜了一下。在 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/EchoCursors/NamingSpec 找到了结果。里面之说说这些是hash，也没说是个怎样的历史缘由。 I used to change mouse cursor theme, and often I would like to peek at the contents in the packages. Well I always see weird names such as '00008160000006810000408080010102'. I've got no idea about this kind of names. Recently as I'm making a cursor theme converter, I googled for a while, then found something useful at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/EchoCursors/NamingSpec It says these names are hashes, but the reasons are not mentioned.

1. compiz 可以用alt+中键调整窗口大小，特别适合用窄边框的我，在也不用在那一个像素周围纠结了。 2. 软件 auto-apt， 可以自动安装 ./configure 报出的缺失的依赖包 3. 软件 simple-ccsm, 调节compiz特效一步到位，省时省力 1. In compiz, we can adjust the size of the windows by pressing alt+ , which is quite suitable for people like me who are using thin window borders. Now I'm free from struggling at that 1 pixel. 2. The software 'auto-apt' can install those missing packages reported by ./configure 3. The software 'simple-ccsm' can set the effects of compiz within one-click.

Some of you might see it; others might not. What's the deal with the J? The J started out its life as a smiley-face. The WingDings font puts a smiley face where the letter J goes. Here, let me try: J results in J . As the message travels from machine to machine, the font formatting may get lost or mangled, resulting in the letter J appearing when a smiley face was intended. (Note that this is not the same as the smiling face incorporated into Unicode as U+263A, which looks like this: ☺. Some of you might see it; others might not.) I recall a story (possibly apocryphal) of somebody who regularly exchanged a lot of e-mail with Microsoft employees and who as a result started signing their own messages with a J, figuring this was some sort of Microsoft slang.

Green Apparatus 是一个经典的 CursorXP 鼠标主题，有这很有创意的动画和很棒的美工。虽然 CursorXP 是给 Windows 的，但是网上有个 sd2xc 脚本可以把 CursorXP 主题转换成 X11 主题，很不错。 但是 Green Apparatus 转换后，等待的指针动画有问题，很多人也在抱怨。 很久以前我就在用这个主题了，当时从 http://d.hatena.ne.jp/tksmashiw/20080421 找到了解法。最近又想折腾，想起了这个主题和这个网站，看到这个网站很久没更新了，就转过来吧。 主要步骤是 把GreenApparatus.CurXPTheme解压（就是zip） 修改scheme.ini，找到[Wait]段，修改第二行为Frames=107然后[Wait_Script]段第二行改成27-107,40 而后重新打包，再用sd2xc转换就没问题了。 再次感谢原作者。 Green Apparatus is a great CursorXP theme, the artwork is awesome and the animation is creative. Although CursofXP is for Windows only, there has been a script called sd2xc which can convert them into X11 themes. However there's a problem, that the animatino of the wait cursor does not work well, many people had been complaining about this. I used this theme long before, I found the fix at http://d.hatena.ne.jp/tksmashiw/20080421. Recently I want to tweak my machine again, and I remembered this theme and that website. I found that web site had not been updated for a long ti...
