I have been using R Studio 0.98.983 in Debian Wheezy until yesterday. But today, when I opened R Studio it complains saying that couldn't find the .Rproject file and afterwards when I browse the files through the file panel all the files are grayed out and I cannot load anything.
I went to the official website to download a new version and it is just for Debian Jessie (and it doesn't work at all in Debian Wheezy. All the UI elements are in blank). In addition, R Studio cannot be found anymore in the Wheezy repositories.
I'm getting the impression that R Studio guys are getting Windowized in the sense that they are pushing people to move to the latest version of the OS. For those that we use computers to work (and not just to play), we trust more an old last stable version than a new buggy fashionable version of anything with which we have to spend hours figuring out how to make thinks work again. It's really a pity.
Any suggestions? Is there any working alternative to R Studio?
Thanks in advance.
We do in fact do our best to preserve backwards compatibility. Unfortunately, the newest release (0.99) builds on Qt 5.4, which requires a glibc newer than is present on Jessie. If you can't upgrade your glibc, then you can install an older RStudio build (try 0.98.1103):

We've heard that Qt is considering restoring compatibility with older glibc in an upcoming release, so hopefully we can too.

A project I worked on 15+ years ago as need additional work. Unfortunately, my build & kit environment has long ago been taken down. I have recreated the build environment but am seeking a boxed, licensed copy of InstallShield 5.5. Does anyone know where I can find one. I have the old .ipr files but updating it to a newer Install Shield has proven very difficult. I just want it to work again and allow me to generate a self extracting .exe. I'm doing this all on an old XP laptop with VS6 and VB6. Everything compiles and links. Just need to create a kit. Thanks for your help
Ideas:
Look on eBay - it typically has lots of obsolete items like this. You can search internationally and also save your search so it will email you when new matches are found. (I don't see any copies on there as of this moment).
Contact the current InstallShield owner - Flexera Software. Maybe they can help you out.
Post on VBForums - possibly someone has a copy they can sell/send/lend you.
Depending on your comfort level, you might find it on a download site / torrent download site. Since you do own a license this seems legit to me, but you need to be careful of malware, etc. (especially since you will presumably distribute the results of this installer build).

Willing to harness Tango library along with the very last release of DMD 1 compiler (v1.076), I searched the net in vain for the bundle.
How that can that be built?
Solved:
I've managed to build a DMD 1 v1.076 with Tango. See here my answer.
Why do you need a bundle, specifically?
Here is the official bundle download:
http://dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/TopicInstallTangoDmd
You could also download a newer compiler separately, but Tango may not work with the latest compiler out-of-the-box - you may need to update the code in a few places to get it to build.
Tango is no longer maintained by its creators, which is why the downloads haven't been updated in a while. Some volunteers may be maintaining forks of Tango which work with the latest D versions. For example, here is a D2 fork: https://github.com/SiegeLord/Tango-D2
To share my findings:
I finally end up building with success a DMD 1.076 with Tango as Library (Win32) Bundle.
I followed the detailed steps mentioned in the Tango's website regarding Win32 platform.
It works with DMD 1.071 version onward.
I had to fix one issue by just changing a private extern (Windows) line of code to protected extern (Windows) in one module.
I noticed that the Tango Library has undergone some changes since bundle I used before (DMD1.056/Tango 0.99.9).

I haven't come across any step-by-step guide (ones I've found are outdated, and one on riverbankcomputing is too confusing), and was wondering if I could get any help. I've been on a wild goose chase thus far
Go to the download page and install the executable there. That should help you get started.
Unfortunately the binary installer is no longer available (at time of writing). It looks like you've got install the QT SDK and then build PyQT
actually the page that download link goes to is pretty confusing. the latest version of pyqt4 is 4.10. about midway down the page there are what appear to be 'legacy' versions (i.e. 4.8 ). I noticed that when I click that link for the executable - it actually serves up 4.10 which is the latest fuly automagical installation.

I'm really interested in participating as a new developer in an OpenSource project.
My Problem now is - what is the best way to participate with a Mac on an OSS Project? (Without using a Virtual Machine or DualBoot.)
As there is no usual apt-get system, what is the best way of working on such an existing project? Would you use Xcode or Eclipse or something else completely?
The setup for all those steps (Building, linking libraries etc.) has always been the part that never worked properly for me. Is there a tutorial which explains how to set the stuff up properly with these IDEs?
Thank you!
Fink is a package system for Mac, it gives you most of what apt-get does on a Linux system.
Xcode is the best choice, I think, irrespective of project
I can give you a very simple recipe.
Pick a Java open source project.
Install Eclipse on MacOS.
Go to work.
No libraries, no linking, no fuss, no muss, no bother.
If you want to work in C or C++, the question is going to be whether you are the only person. For a project that has already been ported to mac, you just do what the others are doing. You run 'configure', and all is well, and you use and editor to edit and gdb to debug.

I am aware that scons implements the functionality of ccache, but I am stuck with another build system.
I also know there is a gocache project on SourceForge that aims to implement ccache-like functionality for other compilers, but it seems not complete.
A shameless plug, but I wrote a Python script which attempts to work just like ccache, except that it can wrap MSVC. See https://github.com/frerich/clcache
There's an unofficial patch to ccache to support MSVC, but I haven't yet tried it myself...
https://github.com/inorton/cclash
It is a bit more of a plug. I've been using it to shave about 35% off our Cygwin Visual Studio 2012 builds.
Incredibuild is very nice, though it is more like distcc for Visual Studio than ccache.
If you want both ccache and distcc for a Visual Studio environment, try Stashed along with Incredibuild at the same time. It works a lot like ccache + distcc for Linux, without the configuration or administrative overhead.
Stashed
It supports PDB, PCH, and has a nice dashboard.
