When compiling several static libraries into one shared using Android NDK I ran into a problem and fixing it required changing the NDK. Here is what the problem is. Let say I use this Android.mk: LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir) include $(CLEAR_VARS) LOCAL_MODULE := mod1 LOCAL_SRC_FILES := libmod1.a include $(PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY) include $(CLEAR_VARS) LOCAL_MODULE := mod2 LOCAL_SRC_FILES := [...]

I have been using Fedora 14 as my primary work desktop for a while. I like it a lot for many reasons and one of them that it easily runs as a virtual machine. Oracle Virtual Box version 4 has been my choice for running desktop virtual machines because it is fast, robust, simple and [...]
There are subtle differences in all Linux platforms and when I got to run VMware SDK Java samples on Ubuntu 10.04 I found there is something that is worth to share in addition to my first post about it. First of all, there are very convenient “default” packages for JRE and JDK that have openjdk-6-jre [...]
During initial installation of Ubuntu 10.04 it detected my audio chip (integrated with my Gigabyte motherboard) without any problems, but after a couple of hibernations or for some other reason it lost it: aplay -l no soundcard found I actually was surprised it found it at the first place as on any platform this kind [...]
When I removed a failed to load Kubuntu partition on my dual boot laptop, I did something stupid: I rebooted the computer. Of course I ended up with Grub “Error 22″. Fortunately I had a recovery DVD with system files and after booting from this DVD and getting into the command line, I found file [...]
I’m a Emacs guy and this is how I got it printing on on of my Windows boxes (XP SP2) where I already had Cygwin. 1. Install PDF Creator. 2. Update .emacs file with the following: (setenv “PRINTER” “PDFCreator”) (setq ps-printer-name “PDFCreator”) (setq ps-printer-name-option “-d”) (setq ps-lpr-command “/cygwin/bin/lpr”) 3. Print into a PDF file with [...]
Every developed needs a profiler. When I worked for Cognos our internal standard was Rational Quantify; I think it was alright. Now when I deal with .NET and want to see a physical proof of my internal vision of how my application works I use a profiler from Eqatec: simple and effective if the only [...]
I have been looking for a PuTTY replacement for awhile now not just because it is so old and ugly looking but also because it would drop connections from time to time. Last week I installed a free-for-personal -use version of Tunnelier from Bitvise on my corporate laptop’s stripped down (meaning kindа usable) Vista Home [...]

VMware SDK a.k.a. vSphere Web Services SDK 4.0 comes with Java and C# samples. This is what it took me to get them running on Ubuntu 8.10. 1. Download the SDK from vmware.com into a separate directory: > mkdir vi-sdk-4.0.0-161137 2. Install Java and Axis: > apt-get install sun-java5-bin sun-java5-demo sun-java5-doc \ sun-java5-fonts sun-java5-jdk sun-java5-jre [...]
Setting multiple values to ignore by svn is something I had to dig for: svn propset –recursive svn:ignore -F valuefile . Where valuefile lists directory/file names.
