In a Unix world I've been happily using gdb for debugging and valgrind for memory analyzation.
Are there open-source quality alternatives for Windows?
I'm looking for lightweight pieces of software that do what you need, and never get in your way (just like gdb and valgrind).
Hi all,
on a windows mobile 6.x phone, is there a way to instruct the connection manager (or whatever other component) to establish a data-link through a particular APN?
Thank you very much.
What is Windows' best I/O event notification facility?
By best I mean something that ...
doesn't have a limit on number of input file descriptors
works on all file descriptors (disk files, sockets, ...)
provides various notification modes (edge triggered, limit triggered)
I am curious if there is any history behind why the ^ character is used to escape the special characters <, , |, &, and ^ in environment variable names in Windows instead the '\' character that is typically used to escape special characters.
Please note that I realize there may be no reason for this, but I'd be interested to hear if there is a reason.
I'm looking for a way to host a web UI in a windows service so that I can configure and control it within a browser. I'd like a simple and lightweight solution, and I don't want to use IIS.
I could probably hand-roll most of it but I was wondering if there was something already made to ease the process.
I'm having trouble getting command line arguments passed to Python programs if I try to execute them directly as executable commands from a Windows command shell. For example, if I have this program (test.py):
import sys
print "Args: %r" % sys.argv[1:]
And execute:
>test foo
Args: []
as compared to:
>python test.py foo
Args: ['foo']
My configuration has:
PATH=...;C:\python25;...
PATHEXT=...;.PY;....
>assoc .py
.py=Python.File
>ftype | grep Python
Python.CompiledFile="C:\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %*
Python.File="C:\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %*
Python.NoConFile="C:\Python25\pythonw.exe" "%1" %*
Hi Folks,
I'm trying to run a virtual host on a WAPP stack. My virtual host has the FollowSymLinks option, but in Windows, all those symbolic links (I'm using shortcuts, and I think this may be the problem) have the .lnk extension. So if I'm trying to access settings.html, Apache can't find it because all i have sitting there is settings.html.lnk. Apologies if my question is unclear.
Hi, the problem is, im using a leased windows server, and im trying to create a directory using php function mkdir, whichever path i try gives the same result.

mkdir('D:\Hosting\3105674\html\lepsiprisma\hola',0777);
I'm trying to attach to a windows service I am running to debug it however the "Available Processes" list under "Attach to Process" it shows as disabled and won't allow me to attach. What am I missing?
Hello,
I've installed:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
and got the following folders:
x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_bcb86ed6ac711f91
x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4926_none_508ed732bcbc0e5a
I allready uninstalled the redistribute package but they continue overthere.
I want to remove them because I want to test my program without installing nothing (I've included those dll's when building it in another computer).
So, how can I remove those folders from C:\Windows\winsxs?
Thanks in advance :D
I have a feeling I should be able add a directory to the PATH environment variable on an application-lifetime basis, but I can't find out how to do this. Is it possible to add a parameter to a Windows shortcut that appends a directory to the current value of PATH for use by the application being linked?
Cheers.
I have a known shared folder on another Windows PC and i have to transfer files using my ANSI C program to that shared folder using an FTP connection. I need some directions - please guide me.
Hi, in Mac or Linux, we can simply define IP and hostname in /etc/hosts. Then we can call another local computer with hostname (not with IP) we defined. But in windows, How can I do that? Where can I edit such configuration?
I have the problem I just installed the new Monodevelop 2.2.2 on Windows but I haven't the database add-in and I cannot add-in with the basic repository.
Are-there other repository for that ?
Thanks with advance.

Hi,
I've Motorola Symbol Handheld Model MC3090 (from symbol MC3000 series), having Windows CE 5.0.
Is it possible that i can upgrade the Handheld OS from CE 5.0 to CE 6.0?
I was wondering (if possible) if there was a program/tool/utility that when I create a new file and provide it with an extension that it creates the tags automatically?
For example, a new file I create called index.php would have the appropriate tags auto-generated inside:
<?php
?>
I hope you get the idea. Does one, or could one, exist, preferably Windows based?
Any information regarding this would be helpful.
In Windows the Dropbox client uses python25.dll and the MS C runtime libraries (msvcp71.dll, etc). On OS X the Python code is compiled bytecode (pyc).
My guess is they are using a common library they have written then just have to use different hooks for the different platforms.
What method of development is this? It clearly isn't IronPython or PyObjC. This paradigm is so appealing to me, but my CS foo and Google foo are failing me.
When will the .NET 4 Client Profile be pushed out over Windows Update? Is there a published timeframe, or do we have any educated guesses?

I'm disabling auto-complete and auto-suggestion on Windows Mobile 6.1 by setting the following registry keys:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip\SuggWords => 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip\SuggAutoCorr => 0
However it doesn't seem to change anything until I restart the device. The control panel applet that exposes these settings somehow tells the SIP keyboard to reload, but how?
Is there a way to take my C++ code and cross compile it to run on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux? Is there a tool to do this, or does it have to be manually compiled on each OS via Terminal/Cygwin?
