- For building shared libraries on the MAC the following need to be set
-
- The shared library file extension should be .dylib
- The compile flag is -dynamic
- For accessing the shared libraries at runtime
-
- DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH needs to be set to the location of the shared libraries
- Useful utilities for shared library support
-
- The following command will display the table of contents of the dynamically linked library
otool -TV sharedlibraryfile.dylib
In this article Barry Mavin, CEO and Chief Software Architect for Recital, details how to use the Recital Database Server with Visual FoxPro.
In this article Barry Mavin explains step by step how to setup a Linux HA (High Availability) cluster for the running of Recital applications on Redhat/Centos 5.3 although the general configuration should work for other linux versions with a few minor changes.
Recital Web Getting Started
If you have software packages which you wish to share with others or simply between your own personal machines, a neat and easy solution is to create your own YUM repository and provide your .repo file for download.
YUM is by far the easiest method of installing software on Red hat, Centos and Fedora. Not only does it mean you don't need to trawl the web looking for somewhere to download the packages, YUM does a great job of satisfying any package dependencies. As long as the required packages are available in the enabled repositories on your system, YUM will go out and get everything you need.
To create your own YUM repository, you will need to install the yum-utils and createrepo packages:
yum install yum-utils createrepo
yum-utils contains the tools you will need to manage your soon to be created repository, and createrepo is used to create the xml based rpm metadata you will require for your repository.
Once you have installed these required tools, create a directory in your chosen web server's document root e.g:
mkdir -p /var/www/html/repo/recital/updates
Copy the rpm's you wish to host into this newly created directory.
The next step is to create the xml based rpm metadata. To create this use the createrepo program we installed earlier.
At the shell type the following command:
createrepo -v -s md5 /var/www/html/repo/recital/updates
This will create the required metadata in the repodata directory of your /var/www/html/repo/recital/updates directory.
root@test repodata]# ls -l rwotal 44 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28996 Jan 13 21:42 filelists.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 284 Jan 13 21:42 other.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1082 Jan 13 21:42 primary.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 951 Jan 13 21:42 repomd.xml
To do a final consistency check on your repository run the following command:
verifytree /var/www/html/repo/recital/updates
We now have a fully functioning YUM repository for our hosted rpm packages.
The next process is to create a .repo file in the client systems /etc/yum.repos.d directory.
Navigate to the /etc/yum.repos.d directory on your system as root.
Using your preferred text editor to create the .repo file. In this example I will call it recital.repo.
Now paste in the following lines:
[Recital] name=Recital Update Server baseurl=http://ftp.recitalsoftware.com/repo/recital/updates enabled=1 gpgcheck=1
Once that is saved, at the shell prompt on the same machine (YUM client system).
$ yum repolist Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit repo id repo name status Recital Recital Update Server enabled: 1 adobe-linux-i386 Adobe Systems Incorporated enabled: 17 fedora Fedora 12 - i386 enabled: 15,366
As you can see the Recital repo is now being picked up and we have access to all the packages it is hosting.
See how easy that was!
The getUIComponentBitmapData method can create bitmapdata for a given IUIComponent. Pass any UIcomponent to get its respective bitmapdata.
public static function getUIComponentBitmapData(target:IUIComponent):BitmapData {
var resultBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(target.width, target.height);
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
resultBitmapData.draw(target, m);
return resultBitmapData;
}
Now convert the bitmapdata to a jpeg bytearray.
private static function encodeToJPEG(data:BitmapData, quality:Number = 75):ByteArray {
var encoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(quality);
return encoder.encode(data);
}
Now encode the ByteArray into Base64.
public static function base64Encode(data:ByteArray):String {
var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.encodeBytes(data);
return encoder.flush();
}
Upload the base64 encoded ByteArray to the server.
public static uploadData():void {
var url:String = "saveFile.php";
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var urlVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlVariables.file = jpgEncodedFile; // as returned from base64Encode()
urlLoader.data = urlVariables;
urlLoader.load(urlRequest);
}
The saveFile.php file on the server.
APPEND FROM TYPE CSV <file-name.csv>The TYPE keyword has now been enhanced to support a comma separated values (CSV) format
