Evening all. I'm a longtime Stack Overflow user but am new to Super User. Quick question: is a question asking how to build a piece of software or an SDK from its source on-topic for Super User?

Journeyman Geek

Its a bit vague. Specific issues during building might be. Expecting the whole process to be explained might be too broad

JAL

Hey @JourneymanGeek, thanks for the reply. It would be similar to my question over on retrocomputing: retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/q/1394/621 (which is at risk of getting closed over there)

I'm trying to build some old legacy software that had bundled executables for a different processor arch

I basically need to go and fetch all of the dependencies and build them from scratch

lol clippy

Journeyman Geek

erf. Yeah, I think you'd have the same problem here

allquicatic

01:41

You're not contemplating cross-posting, are you? (Don't cross-post!)

JAL

I figured. Maybe if I get to a specific dependency I'm having trouble building. That would narrow down the issue

Journeyman Geek

Its less a scope issue than a 'breadth' issue

JAL

No no, I was not planning on that

allquicatic

compilation issues are honestly probably better on Stack Overflow than Super User, IMO

though they're loosely on-topic here for sure

Journeyman Geek

Now, if you're looking for a drop in alternative for a specific library maaaaaaaybe SR might work

JAL

01:42

Yeah it's tough, sometimes I feel like SO is better for the programming problems but folks are tempted to close stuff like that for SU over there

allquicatic

I think he just needs to run CentOS 4 in a VM :P

JAL

lol

or Windows. I'm really trying to build a legacy Game Boy development kit so I can build the newly open-sourced Infinity codebase github.com/infinity-gbc/infinity

Journeyman Geek

would it work on wine? ;p

JAL

some of the tools might, half of them don't even build with a modern C compiler, so there's that to fix too lol

one of the assemblers they use in their toolchain only has a windows shareware build. a linux build existed at one point behind a paywall but the source, site, and company have long since dissolved

The Telemark Assembler: http://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/1389/was-the-telemark-assembler-available-for-the-unix-or-mac-environments

I don't think there are even any posts about that on SO or SU

allquicatic

unless you fancy writing an assembler from scratch or wrapping the assembler in wine and hoping for the best, you probably should listen to the readme

> Currently the game only builds on a Windows host

JAL

01:47

@allquicatic Yep I'm well aware of that, hence my project and fork to build the game and tools on Unix/Mac

Journeyman Geek

03:13

Or rewriting the asm bits in more modern asm dialects.

bwDraco

@JourneymanGeek Is the program so performance-sensitive that it absolutely needs assembly code?

Journeyman Geek

03:28

or rewriting the ASM bits in a more modern, portable, high level language?

Also if it's a wifi one why are you using it on USB?

I swapped my desktop yesterday for one with wifi

Sorta, plus £100 for the difference. And much smaller case.

Had a 30KG watercooled XL ATX case and swapped for my flatmate's tiny mini-ITX thingy. Which pretty much fits inside the motherboard compartment of my old case.

In fact, literally fits inside the motherboard compartment of my old case.

If it's the one thing that has everything you need, I'd be finding somewhere else to buy it from than continuing this futile search for another "perfect" device :-P

Do you believe in equal rights for women?
                 Yes: You are a feminist
                 No:  You are not a feminist.

Egalitarianism by necessity would be a superset of feminism based on that interpretation

Bob

@Dog It should be.

By modern definition, it pretty much is.

By historical definition, afaik feminism used to be used to refer to equality in general. At least commonly enough that I can find a few references to it.

A: Feminism being referred to as equality for all, as opposed to equality for women

The earliest reference I can find to feminism is from 1841. At that time it referred to feminine quality or character. Examples of that use exist from 1841 to 1915. (OED sense 1) In the late 19th century the word begins to take on a new meaning with the emergence of the suffragette movement. Th...

Humanism

Humanism is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, and generally prefers critical thinking and evidence (rationalism, empiricism) over acceptance of dogma or superstition. The meaning of the term humanism has fluctuated according to the successive intellectual movements which have identified with it. The term was coined by theologian Friedrich Niethammer at the beginning of the 19th century. Generally, however, humanism refers to a perspective that affirms some notion of human freedom and progress. In modern times...

Wait, no

Secular humanism

The philosophy or life stance of secular humanism (alternatively known by some adherents as Humanism, specifically with a capital H to distinguish it from other forms of humanism) embraces human reason, ethics, social justice, and philosophical naturalism while specifically rejecting religious dogma, supernaturalism, pseudoscience, and superstition as the bases of morality and decision making. Secular humanism posits that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion or a god. It does not, however, assume that humans are either inherently evil or innately good, nor does it...

For the fictional religion in the Marvel Universe see Church of Humanity (comics). For the fictional religion in the Honorverse see Church of Humanity Unchained Church of Humanity was a positivist church in England influenced and inspired by Auguste Comte's religion of humanity in France. It also had a branch or variant in New York City. Richard Congreve of the London Positivist Society was important to the founding of the English church in 1878. Despite being relatively small the church had several notable members and ex-members. For example, Anna Haycraft was raised in the "Church of Humanity...

Elite (video game)

Elite is a space trading video game, written and developed by David Braben and Ian Bell and originally published by Acornsoft for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron computers in September 1984. Elite's open-ended game model, and revolutionary 3D graphics led to it being ported to virtually every contemporary home computer system, and earned it a place as a classic and a genre maker in gaming history. The game's title derives from one of the player's goals of raising their combat rating to the exalted heights of "Elite".

It's like the Administrative Templates part of gpedit.msc but for all Windows editions and with more features!

Got a server with SSH access? Here's how to set up a SOCKS proxy for browsing on Android. Enable compression for the SSH connection in ConnectBot to reduce mobile data usage, especially when browsing with images disabled.

This is what I do when I'm really squeezed for data.

Bookmark this URL for quick access to the configuration: about:config?filter=network.proxy

Set network.proxy.type to 1 to enable the proxy and 5 to disable.

Add domains to network.proxy.no_proxies_on to exclude sites from using the proxy. I personally exclude Google because of the potential for CAPTCHAs and Wikipedia because they disallow the use of proxies for editing. Besides, they use HTTPS so there's little to be gained from proxying in the first place.

Sanity check:
I got to windows 7 Ultimate DVDs. One with 32bit version and one with a 64 bit version. I got one key which will work on either of them.
(and yes, I know I can only legally install one at the same time)

As far as I know this is the case for all non-OEM windows 7 ultimate setups.

Q: Am I right?

Mostly checking since superuser.com/questions/1116040/… seems to disagree

And I am considering a comment with 'You are wrong!"

Ben N

This MS community thread says yes you can

The answer is by a forum moderator (though not an MSFT employee), so it's probably right

Thank you. Good to know I am not loosing it

@bwDraco if you have root

Then sshtunnel is easier

It uses redsocks under the hood and a bunch of iptables rules

bwDraco

I have root but would prefer to just use this workflow for the time being. I'm not looking to proxy everything.

Again, there are some things you don't want to run through a proxy.

@Bob Oh yeah, that's what it's officially listed as. Not sure what they've implemented specifically, but the underlying modem is Cat 12/13: samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/Exynos/w/solution/mod_ap/…

LTE Category 12(600Mbps DL), Category 13(150Mbps UL) / FDD-TDD Joint Carrier Aggregation
