Sorry if I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this sort of stuff, but thanks anyway.
Basically I've managed to install QT4.7 properly and it works and compiles stuff. (I'm using it conjunction with vs2010). However, I wanted to try something that requires libqxt. Unfortunately this seems to be the only installation guide out there. And I'm really not getting it. It mentions this little bit:
"configuration
Make sure qmake is in your PATH and run"
I think this is where I'm getting tripped up. Is this the qmake the same one I used for QT4.7? (If this is the case I shouldn't have to change anything right? It ought to look like this: "c:\Qt\4.7\bin". Which is added by going to >
Control Panel|System|Advanced|Environment variables menu. And which is already there from installing qt4.7)
Or is there a new qmake for libqxt somewhere? Am I understanding the term PATH incorrectly?
In any case right now clicking on configure.bat just echoes back "searching" and then closes before I can read what else it says. Would I be better off just opening a cmd prompt and cd'ing to the libqxt directory and running the configure file from there?
If anyone knows of an alternate install libqxt tutorial somewhere that'd probably helpful to me as well. Thanks to anyone who can take a minute to point me in the right direction.

I am currently working on a personal project using the Ruby language in Cloud9 IDE. Recently, I came across an environment/programming language called Processing. My goals is to make Processing available for my use in Cloud9 IDE.
I am a complete novice and have no clue what I am doing. I followed directions from the following website: Directions for setting up Processing
I entered the following commands into Cloud9's terminal:
rvm install jruby
rvm use jruby
gem install ruby-processing
PROCESSING_ROOT: "/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Java"
Entering in PROCESSING_ROOT: "/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Java"
outputted message bash: PROCESSING_ROOT:: command not found
I wasn't too surprised by this, since the last entry probably needs information specific to my setup. Here are my questions:
1.) Are these directions correct for what I am trying to do? (get Processing to work in Cloud9 IDE). If they are not correct, can someone please point me to the correct directions, or give me directions?
2.) If these directions are correct, how can I successfully finish the last step? I tried running DrawRuby.rb, a simple program copied from the internet that supposedly made use of Processing. When I ran the code, the message "You need to set PROCESSING_ROOT in ~/.rpsrc" appeared. I am not sure if this piece of information is relevant or not, but I figured I would add it.
This is where I am at, and I am completely stuck. If someone could give me some help, I would be very grateful. Also, please make your explanation easy to understand. I am relatively new to the programming world, and may not necessarily understand terminology or how things should work.
Cheers!
*** Edit: I created a new workspace in Cloud9 IDE and tried Jed's suggestion. This is what happened:echo 'PROCESSING_ROOT: "/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Java"' > ~/.rpsrc
:~/workspace $ rp5 run Draw.rb
WARNING: you need to set PROCESSING_ROOT in ~/.rp5rc

You need to add a file to your home directory (~/) called .rpsrc and then add that environmental setting (PROCESSING_ROOT) to your file. The following should work from the command line in your cloud9 environment:
echo 'PROCESSING_ROOT: "/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Java"' > ~/.rpsrc
I know it might be a bit late for you but ruby-processing is now deprecated, and will only work with processing-2.2.1. For processing-3.3.7 use either JRubyArt or propane latter does not even require processing install.
I'm trying to import or install MusicBrainz' database and I'm following this instruction.
My OS is Windows so I'm following Windows instruction. I've done up to number 4, but when I opened to configure settings.pl file(link) I couldn't understand what that file wants me to configure.
I think the lines looking like this
$g_schema_url = "$schema_base/admin/sql/CreateTables.sql";
is the part I need to change for the file to work, but I don't think I understand these lines.
I googled and found out that .pl files are the files written in a language called Perl. But I didn't download or install the language because the instruction didn't require me to. Should I? I really am a beginner so even I sound stupid I hope you can understand.
I'm working on Oracle 11.
I've never used MBZDB before, but I looked through the settings.pl and I don't believe for a standard install you should need to change anything. You should be able to move on to step 6.
Edit: I was incorrect: I failed to notice you are using an Oracle database. As a commenter posted, it looks like it will work best with MySQL. If you install that, though, you should be good to go.
I'm trying to just build webkit on windows. As usual I started with webkit site and trying to get developer tools setup. I'm struck basically at the cygwin Installation itself.
The cygwin-downloader gets all the packages and runs the setup normally.
As per the installation instructions, I selected the Install from Local Directory Option (cygwin install and source package directories are different).
There was some initial turbulance in finding the packages, somehow i could let it find the packages. The screen looks like this now.
I selected the packages (all) and then proceeded with next. It just ran very fast and exited saying nothing needs to be installed. It looked like this.
After I ran the cygwin shorcut from the desktop its shouting something is missing.
I don't understand what am I missing here. Also at some link it says we need a port to build webkit. If thats the case, how does anyone port webkit to their applications without building the webkit alone?
I know this is not a programming question. but this will help most of the people who are taking baby steps in understanding and build WebKit. Thanks!
According to this, it's seems a cygwin-downloader's bug.
However, there is a workaround...
Just copy {cygwin-downloader}\setup.ini file to a {cygwin-downloader}\x86\ directory. Then reopen setup.exe. It will show you a package list without turbulence. You don't need to click all from the package list. Just click Next.
I've tried to use MonoDevelop 2.4 and 2.6 with Ubuntu 11.04, but neither of them seems to actually provide any way of running the project. (As the picture shows, the Run, Step, and Debug items are disabled -- both on the toolbar and inside the menus.)
This is true for all project types I've seen so far -- C#, Python, etc...
But mono-debugger is installed. Is there some post-setup task that I need to do manually, for this to work?
Looking over https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/blob/master/main/src/core/MonoDevelop.Ide/MonoDevelop.Ide.Commands/ProjectCommands.cs
Perhaps you haven't selected a 'Project'? Open up the Solution pad and click on the Test1 project (not the solution at the root of the tree, but the project just below it).
I'm just guessing here since I don't have Ubuntu and can't actually test anything.
Edit: actually, it looks like clicking on the Solution would work as well.
From looking at the code, another possibility is that you don't have a build target? Not sure how that would happen, but unless you only opened Main.cs and not actually Test1.sln, I don't know what to suggest.
When you opened the project, which file did you open? Test1.sln? Test1.csproj? Or Main.cs?
Try looking for mono-mdb and more packages in synaptic, this may fix this issue.
Don't remember exact names, Linux box at home...
Did you really open the project? It looks like you just opened Main.cs. It won't work that way.
Make sure you installed the compilers (mcs etc)
I'm using msysgit on Windows 7, but it doesn't seem to come with make. Is there an easy way to get make running on msysgit?
I found a link to make.exe in the msysgit Google code issues section. I downloaded it and put it in Git\bin and it works perfectly.
Suprisingly, by using MSYS itself, or MinGW if you need the GCC compiler - see http://www.mingw.org or better http://tdragon.net/recentgcc.
did you try the netinstall ? It does come with make.
I'm going to guess that the msys.bat and initialize.sh step still needed to be performed.
The 'Full installer' isn't. It only gets you a minimum, and you then have to get it to do the remaining download - see MSysGit:InstallMSysGit. I just updated the wiki to highlight the steps I'd missed!
The Net Installer is a much better option as it is able to run through almost all the steps for you, downloading and compiling the latest version automatically. Once you have done so, have a look for the various release.sh files.
It can be a nervous first step choosing the right course of action - I'm only a few steps ahead, and still cautious.
