Compiling Windows Programs on Linux
Fedora includes the mingw compiler, so we can port our programs to Windows (to share with our Windows friends) and we can test them on Linux using wine, so we don't actually have to boot Windows ourselves. By putting the commands into the Makefile we can remember them later.
This Makefile is a bit over-hacked. In particular, I don't recommend the $(shell basename `pwd`) for anything other than personal or hobby templates. We're not trying to pass this off as professional code or anything like that... No warranty! Just showing that anything can go into a Makefile!
The bash command line lets us make an alias for commands that we type often. We can put the alias into .bashrc and use them every time we log on. Fedora's package management commands are difficult for me to remember, so I have made aliases for them. In this video, I use an alias, rf, that is basically a command for Fedora to view the contents of packages:
alias rf='rpm -q --filesbypkg --nodigest --nosignature'
My other alias, qq is a .bashrc function:
qq() { grep -i "$@" /var/log/rpmpkgs | sed "s/\.rpm//" ; }
This just quickly lists all the rpms we installed prior to last night matching the name. It doesn't work on rpms that we recently installed because the database updates at night.
To see recently installed packages, I use another, slower command, rq, which is also an alias:
alias rq='rpm -qa --nodigest --nosignature | grep -i'
