• I have tried so many times to make windows recognize the java and c compilers using environment variables and it's not working. windows is not recognizing the compilers

• Updating CLion Compiler to use C++ Modules

  Looking at the Compiler Support page on cppreference.com, it shows GCC version 11 as having partial support for modules. I went to mingw-w64.org website and saw they had MinGW-w64-builds with version 12.1.0/10.0.0, so I figured I'd download and install that, which is where I am having issues. Source: over 1 year ago

• Discussion Thread

  If I wanted to build and run a MASM syntax Win32 assembly program on Linux, I would indeed probably use jwasm to assmble but then I would use mingw-w64 to link (despite the name, it supports 32-bit and 64-bit, it's more up-to-date than pure 32-bit mingw), and then run using WINE.

• I'm having problems installing Raylib for Go

  I finally got the Mingw-w64 for my pc, and of course, I got Golang and all. I have been working with it and (for the most part) has been working alright! But when I try used Go get, nothing weird happens but the compiler still tell me this :. Source: almost 3 years ago

• How legit is the compiler and how likely can a compiler be malware and how hard it is to be detected?

  However, what is preventing you from getting the thing from its website, http://mingw-w64.org/ ? Source: about 3 years ago

• The Awk Programming Language, Second Edition

  AWK runs everywhere. Perl and Python do not. Busybox has their own independent AWK implementation. https://busybox.net/ https://frippery.org/busybox/ Also see the first edition of the AWK manual online here: https://archive.org/details/pdfy-MgN0H1joIoDVoIC7. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• This would have made my life so much easier in the beginning....

  A majority of routers are already based on the Linux kernel. Many are just BusyBox. The most common Linux firewalls are iptables and nftables. With the latter being the most popular one due to being around longer. They are really fine grained and powerful. Source: 12 months ago

• So Im working on making my own OS from scratch. Im using a linux based os for reverse engineering but I need help in understanding how to use the tools that are in rar/zip files. If anyone can direct me to some tutorials or resources to read that would be a big help.

  Https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/booting.rst This was my guiding light for a project a while back. It describes what Linux expects "time zero" looks like for the system; whatever operating system is going to boot needs that kind of contract between the boot environment and its own entry point. You can develop a lightweight linux-based OS with that document and a package like https://busybox.net/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Do you think Linux will become more supported and eventually be able to play every game that windows can? If so, how far in the future?

  For libc, we have musl as an alternate implementation. For most coreutils, we have busybox and the BSD coreutils. For desktop environments, you can use something like xfce. Source: over 1 year ago

• Hello Embedded World - booting a minimal Linux with Busybox on RISC-V, from source
