Hey, another wiki. Great!
Here, you will find things. You may notice that anonymous edits are firmly DISABLED. Yeah, THAT'S RIGHT. I am intentionally destroying the communal benefits that wiki was designed to provide. Why? I friggin hate spam, and my two previous wikis were consumed by friggin spambots. You may also notice that you can't create a user account. COPE! :) If you really want to contribute, please mail me at dreNOSPAMPLSKTHX@mac.com, and I'd be more than happy to let you in.
Here is the page of User:Dre, your esteemed information broker.
You may want to scope my other, less sandbox-like presence: http://www.dreness.com

Installing and using unix software in userland:
In your shell init file, set the following (for bash / zsh compatible shells):
export LDFLAGS='-L/path/to/your/home/lib' export CPPFLAGS='-I/path/to/your/home/include' export PATH='/path/to/your/home:$PATH' export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/your/home/lib export LD_INCLUDE_PATH=/path/to/your/home/include
Log out / in, so that the above takes effect.
- Configure any dependencies with --prefix=/path/to/your/home, and make / make install as usual. They will be installed into your home directory (~/lib, ~/include, ~/bin)
- Configure your desired software with --prefix=/path/to/your/home and make /make install as usual. It should pick up all your new libs / includes due to the environment variables.
When you execute your new binaries, they will be able to find your userland libraries thanks to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
How to make and apply patches
Once you have the needed changes, apply them (pre autoconf) to a copy of a fresh source directory. You should now have a 'patched' directory sitting alongside an unpatched direcetory. Now generate the patch...
diff -ruN old new > my_patch
To apply this patch to a fresh source directory, place the patch alongside the source dir:
patch -p0 < my_patch
... and then of course, the requisite links to the mediawiki docs, hosted at wikipedia:
Please see documentation on customizing the interface and the User's Guide for usage and configuration help.
