download ibpp and its documentation

Okay,

I think it's time to try make a real database application using C++ and WxWidget. The tools needed which I already have so far:



  1. C++: it is a native language with linux. Almost every linux distribution have it, and if you don't have it and you're using ubuntu, just install package base-essential with synaptic or apt-get.

  2. WxWidgets: the main library which supposed to make our life easier.

  3. Code::Blocks: the IDE

  4. Firebird database server.



We still need client library for accessing the database server. WxWidgets has database access functions using ODBC. But, I don't like ODBC, I prefer to have client library which access the database natively.


After some google research, ibpp seems the best c++ firebird client library. I downloaded the library from http://www.ibpp.org/. But, a library is no use at all without documentation and it's very unfortunate ibpp only provides online documentation. As we live in Indonesia we certainly need an offline documentation so we can work without internet connection.

Thanks to uncle google (again), I found a free utility which can save an entire website for offline reading from here: http://www.httrack.com/page/2/en/index.html. Installing under linux takes the usual route:


$ wget -c http://www.httrack.com/httrack-3.43-4.tar.gz
$ tar -xf httrack-3.43-4.tar.gz
$ cd httrack-3.43.4
$ ./configure


configure doesn't complain anything! I the proceeded


$ make
# make install


Great!, now I have "WebHTTrack Website Copier" in my Applications->Internet menu, unfortunately nothing comes up when I clicked it.... :(

Stuck? of course no! I tried to run it from terminal and here is what came up:


$ webhttrack/usr/local/bin/htsserver: error while loading shared libraries: libhttrack.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/webhttrack(6248): could not spawn htsserver


So it missed libhhtrack.so.2, it turns out that this file is located in /usr/local/lib. Make a soft link to it in the /usr/lib solves the problem:


# ln -s /usr/local/lib/libhttrack.so.2 /usr/lib/libhttrack.so.2


Next step is firing webhttrack, make a new project and point the url address to ibpp online documentation (http://www.ibpp.org/reference), and 2 minutes later I have the documentation in my harddisk.

Program timbangan elektronik, sebuah program Windows yang dijalankan di Linux.

Kemarin, mumpung hari libur aku setup program timbangan digital baru di kantor. Program yang lama merupakan program DOS yang aku tulis dengan menggunakan Clipper, program ini berjalan dengan baik di linux dengan bantuan dosemu. Program baru merupakan program Windows. Salah satu improvement dalam program ini adalah support untuk beberapa jenis indikator. Program diinstall di linux dengan wine versi 1.1.20. Beberapa catatan dalam instalasi program ini di wine: Pencetakan slip bukti timbangan dan laporan-2 menggunakan printer Dot Matrix. Apabila pencetakan dilakukan lewat printer driver, pencetakan dengan printer dot matrix akan menjadi sangat lambat plus hasil buruk plus boros pita... :) Oleh karena itu, program ini melakukan pencetakan langsung melalui printer port lpt1. Di windows, hal ini tidak menjadi suatu permasalahan, di linux dengan wine, maka lpt1 akan dimap ke /dev/lp0. Masalahnya, owner dari device ini adalah root dan group lp. Secara default user-user di Ubuntu (..nggak tahu

NOTEPAD++ SOURCECOOKIFIER SETTING FOR CLIPPER LANGUAGE

Notepad++ is a very excellent programmer editor for Windows. It has plugin system which enhances it's functionality. Sourcecookifier is a plugin I like very much, it is a simple plugin which shows the outline of your source code. The screenshot below shows a pascal (delphi) source code. We can easily see the structure of the source code, and we can go to a particular method/function just by one click. Sourcecookifier recognizes several programming languages, but it does not support Clipper language. Fortunately, it is very easy to add Clipper configure. Follow this step: Click setting icon (the yellow gear icon) on the sourcecookiefier window. Click Language Settings On the setting form, type Clipper on the language box and click add. Set the file extension setting, add .prg to the extenson box On Tag Type choose any letter you like. Here I add “f” for “function” (any letter will be fine) On Appearance box, you can write the de
