Only for those who never read any license: it is not possible to "Stop using the GPL" on already GPL-ed software.. :wink: Of course you can, you just implement the parts you need. Anyone is free to implement anything they want from scratch for any reason they choose. Rob Landley, the form...

This way may be a little more work, but I have found that if you become an expert in a few areas, you will get enough PMs that the old ones get deleted automatically. Funny anecdote about PMs. My wife now sends me a PM on here if she can't reach me by phone because I am on here more often than I che...

Or you can just try "Muntzing" it.
Its a good learning experience and kind of a puppy right of passage.
I know at least amigo, ttuuxxx, goingnuts and myself all did quite a lot of muntzing back in the day and basically how Barry started the whole thing.

Do you have a github project page?

Get a bunch of them and use them to tile your bathroom.

Many of the projects I have linked are single header C libraries, while others are one header file and one .c file. These work a bit different than the traditional C project. Normally a compiler command line would look something like $CC main.c -lmylib For the 2-file projects (1 *.h and *.c file), t...

Most people will only need the client unless they want to share resources on their linux box with windows computers. Samba's default build options are ridiculous and regurgitates tons of useless garbage by default. IIRC, I posted some saner build options quite a few years back. Newer versions can co...

Uggg. Llvm is so frustrating. It has no simple way of removing support for architectures that it supports, but are completely useless for 99% of people. For example most x86_64 linux users don't need to build Qualcomm's hexagon or Microsoft windows binaries much less jit build them. On top of that i...

When L18l was using my alternative to gettext, I wrote up a shell function that used Google translate to automatically generate translated strings. That function could be useful to add to your app for .po files. Let me know if you are interested and I will dig up the thread. One part that I know wil...

I've been working on a next generation version of puppy for a while that will incorporate many of the lightweight libraries but I am so unsatisfied with the X and C libraries, that I got sidetracked on reimplementing those first. Both will be single header libraries designed for static builds of mul...

Is it possible to limit the list displayed by a combobox? See screeny. I would like to only display about 10 items. Is there a better way to do this in gtkdialog, maybe with another widget? Thanks You can always use programming to limit the entries to X and have an additional entry for next X and/o...

To be continued... posting from my phone, so it's hard to edit.

For many Linux developers, exposure to antiquated "truths" has brought about an ecosystem of build systems that require gigabytes of RAM and approaching terabytes of disk space just to compile a single program (see chromium). Much of this it is due to the large number of dependencies that ...

Why does the swriter script use the full path anyhow? - totally unnecessary.
