Thanks, using "gcc ~/src9/SpaceMap.c -oSpaceMap 2>&1 | ~/shex/NoAnnoy" worked just fine.

BTW, the real problem to be solved was how to get "gcc" to talk to "NoAnnoy"; it was never about how to resolve the missing prototype.

Hi Aki,

I tried "gcc ~/src9/SpaceMap.c -oSpaceMap |& ~/shex/NoAnnoy"

and what I got was

/home/user/shex/Build9.sh: 11: /home/user/shex/Build9.sh: Syntax error: "&" unexpected

Is that what you meant?

When I compile a program using gcc, I sometimes get annoying error messages like: /home.user/src9/SpaceMap.c:126:3: warning: implicit declaration of function 'sleep'; did you mean 'strsep'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] No, I did not mean strsep . I have no ******* idea what strsep is. All I kno...

I need to build up a table of structures kept in sequence by ascending key. I want to search the table to find the structure with a matching key, or failing that, something close so I can insert a new structure in the right location (insertion sort). I looked at bsearch() but that just returns zero ...

I need to select and install a video player that doesn't trash my system upon installation. All the ones I looked at deinstall oodles of packages first, including some tools like KWrite that I use heavily and depend on. (I don't see why a video player should conflict with a text editor -- they are t...

Why do you want to use Clonezilla to copy a few megabytes? Just copy the source data to an external device and paste to the target. Or if the 2 computers are networked you could use rsync to copy over the network. I have used Syncthing to sync data between 2 computers. Your options 2 and 3 would wo...

Dear reinob, Perhaps an example is in order. The most common structure is: struct ELEMENT /* 328 */ {struct ELEMENT* chain1; /* chain of all tasks (excluding bogus) */ struct ELEMENT* chain2; /* tasks that are part of this project */ struct ELEMENT* chain3; /* tasks with due dates in order by same ...

I'm not sure if this belongs here. I backed up a 40 GB (home) partition on my boyfriend's laptop, and tried to restore it to another 40 GB partition on a different laptop. But it said the target partition was smaller than the source. Checking further, I saw that the source partition was 40001 MB, an...

Ready for this -- it's EBCDIC!!

Dear tomazzi,

I like the idea of "_t" data types -- I was never really comfortable with the "native to the system you're running on" idea.

I have some structures that have short ints in them. These short ints are "aligned" meaning a multiple of sizeof(short int) from the beginning of the structure. But to save storage, I want to malloc() a "hunk" of storage and chop it up with as few slack bytes in between as possib...

Grrr. Mate-tweak was no help at all; there is NO OPTION for what-to-do-when-a-plug-and-play-device-is-inserted. And there was no mounted volumes option either; like I care if an icon for a mounted media device shows up on the desktop. I'm just trying to get it quietly mounted, for pity's sake! Caitlin

On my BF's laptop, Debian 10.10 with MATE, if I plug in a device such as a memory stick or an external optical drive, nothing gets mounted. I can mount it by entering a mount command on a terminal with root privileges, but it doesn't mount automatically. What I want is to have the device automatical...

Hi p.H, I did the mount/umount test and it worked. I also did the udisksctl test and that worked too. On my tower case there is an applet, under System > Control Center > Look and Feel, called Removable Drives and Media. On my tower case, the two options, Mount removable drives when hot-plugged and ...

As I plugged in a USB device (a memory stick), here is the output as seen by dmesg: [ 315.413210] usb 2-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci [ 315.701845] usb 2-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=058f, idProduct=6387, bcdDevice= 1.00 [ 315.701853] usb 2-1.1: New USB device strings...

I love it myself!!

My BF's laptop is an Acer (a few years old) on which I installed Debian 10.10. It has 4 USB ports, but they do nothing at all. When I plug in a device, like a printer, memory stick, or external hard drive, there is no "what do you want to do?" message, no change to mtab, no response in the...

Grrr -- I DON'T NEED NO ******* SLIDESHOW! That's not even close to what I'm trying to accomplish. To restate it -- I want to be able to have a program do something to change the desktop background. It will be IN RESPONSE to an event; not something mundane and trivial like it's been 3 hours since th...
