End of year resolutions

Not really, but sorta.

I finally figured out, ten years late in my career, that I need brush up on theory and just do side projects. Even if I'm no good at it.

Starting with coding up data structures and algorithms. In C++.

This past week, I did a basic doubly linked list (at least, I think... I'll need to check it against what I find in Google) and then will do a queue and stack, derived from the linked list. I'll also start binary search tree this week.

I've also begun reading up on Java 7 and need to start a project with it.

Compiling pgmodeler on Yosemite (with Homebrew)

Refer to  pgmodeler installation . Steps: Clone the pgmodeler git repo. Use Homebrew to install qt5 (5.4.2, see here ), libxml2, and postgresql. Edit the pgmodeler.pri (not .pro) file and change these variables: PGSQL_LIB = /usr/local/opt/postgresql/lib/libpq.dylib PGSQL_INC = /usr/local/opt/postgresql/include XML_INC = /usr/local/opt/libxml2/include/libxml2 XML_LIB = /usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/libxml2.dylib Follow instructions to compile pgmodeler (you might need to put Qt's binaries in your PATH. I was lazy and didn't). $ /usr/local/opt/qt5/bin/qmake pgmodeler.pro $ make $ make install $ cd /Applications $ /usr/local/opt/qt5/bin/macdeployqt pgmodeler.app -executable=pgmodeler.app/Contents/MacOS/pgmodeler-ch -executable=pgmodeler.app/Contents/MacOS/pgmodeler-cli Then I was able to do $ open pgmodeler.app

pgmodeler build in Debian Jessie

This is my qmake version: $ qmake -v QMake version 3.0 Using Qt version 5.3.2 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu I had to edit linuxdeploy.sh: 1. Add "-makefile" to the QMAKE_ARGS variable: $ qmake -h Usage: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake [mode] [options] [files] where mode is either "-makefile" (default) or "-project" QMAKE_ARGS="-makefile -r -spec linux-clang" 2. Right before "Running qmake...", I added another line to include pgmodeler.pro in the qmake invocation: QMAKE_ARGS="$QMAKE_ARGS pgmodeler.pro" Then I ran ./linuxdeploy.sh -no-qt-libs (https://github.com/pgmodeler/pgmodeler/issues/674)

Building and installing CAN bus bundle on Kura/Eurotech Software Framework

The documentation is incomplete as of 11/25/2015:  http://esf.eurotech.com/docs/how-to-use-can-bus . It shows you how to setup the can0/can1 interfaces. I think I finally figured out the real steps to getting the CAN bus service working in Kura. I found this website somewhat useful:  https://tobiddev.wordpress.com/2015/03/23/one-bundle-project-modbus-and-eclipse-kura/ . It didn't tell me how to build a bundle, but I took a chance with the following and now I'm able to see my module loading the CanConnectionService in the Kura logs. First, build Kura from source following this guide:  https://wiki.eclipse.org/Kura/Getting_Started . You'll probably want to build it in Linux (I am using Debian Jessie) or possibly OS X (I didn't test it). For sure, it fails in Windows 8 at the create_installer.sh part, so I decided not to waste any more time on it. You basically need Kura built just enough so that you can load everything into Eclipse. I was able to do this using Eclipse...
