openSUSE and GCC part 10: Distributing to other distributions than openSUSE with OBS

January 7th, 2014 by

Last time I talked about OBS and how to compile your application that you have developed with GCC. OBS is much more than just a tool for compiling openSUSE additional packages. You can also compile Debian, Ubuntu, Arch and Fedora (and couple more) but why on earth you want to do that? Short answer: because you can! Little bit longer answer: because you can and freedom is two way road. You can’t guess what Linux distribution or OS your user wants to use but you can make sure that you application is first class citizen in that Linux distribution. (more…)

openSUSE and GCC part 8: RPMs and how to write them

December 3rd, 2013 by

It seems this it’s already 8 of this 10 part series of using GCC with openSUSE. This time topic is: RPM. RPM started as Redhat Package Manager and then it involved to RPM package manager (self explaining acronym like GNU). RPM packages are just files containing all the needed stuff to install application, font or something else in to openSUSE system. (more…)

openSUSE and GCC part 6: Introduction to autotools

November 12th, 2013 by

Autotools, autotools and once again autotools. Years ago I started with autotools I thought, ‘Hey someone has really get into linking and compiling’. I was sold for a while and tried to learn it inside out. Then I understood that I will never be good at autotools (So I started to go to gym instead). M4 macro language it is not my thing.
It’s just something that should be put on one way Mars shuttle and send to gray ones to figure out. I think mr. Spock’s brains functioned with M4 but mine won’t. If there is some M4 specialist. Send me e-mail or post comment about it and tell why M4 is best macro language on earth. If nobody stands up for poor M4-macro language I’ll keep unloving it. I can start liking it because I was so wrong with Rexx. (more…)

openSUSE and GCC part 5: Make love me do

November 5th, 2013 by

In this point of time if you haven’t any idea what is pkg-config or GCC you should be reading this. Or if you still do please make sure you read about them from these blog posts. ‘Make‘ as a tool doesn’t do anything easier it just hides not-so-easy-part from eyes of public. ‘Make’-tool executes (in default) Makefile-script that should tell how to build your applications step by step. There is no guaranties that it’s easier to understand how it’s build or you to understand that after a while. (more…)

openSUSE and GCC part 4: Pkg-config and what one can do with it

October 28th, 2013 by

When I re-booted my blogging habits with very UN-sexy and technical topic ‘GNU C Compiler and how to make it with openSUSE’. I thought nobody bothers to read these because A) Everyone who reads openSUSE blogs are PRO B) everyone wants to do Javascript, Python or ‘Put your script language here not C. I can tell actually C ain’t that bad you just have to shoot yourself to leg and then learn how to walk again.
Last blog entry was about ‘openSUSE and GCC part 3: RPM devel packages‘ someone (thanks for pointing that out really!) noted that I should fix C-Code example I was stunned! There were someone that really readied blog entry. Okay he/she didn’t say did he/she like it but some one read it.
I have one real reason to this blog-stuff. I hope I have found something like this when I young and I was starting my journey in Linux land. Currently there is so many more people now in populating it and it’s coming up fast. So If you find errors or don’t understand something be welcome to ask or want to know about something specific let me know! Now we get on today’s topic that is ‘pkg-config and what one can do with it’. (more…)
