Roger's woze

wow. looks like my idea of providing at wide users with a free shell account has been thought of before. Rock on!

let’s see…so go to godaddy and find a domain name, register it, ignore all the extra offers, then go your control panel, go to dns, click on the image ‘name servers’ and then add them in as ns1.bluehost.com ns2.bluehost.com [or whatever yours are]. Then set it up at bluehost.com [cpanel] that it is a host you want to host.

git checkout branch_that_wants_to_get_stuff_merged_into_it
git merge branch_with_some_stuff_that_wants_to_be_merged_in # merges it into current branch

[24:2313][rdp@ilab1:~]$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can’t open display:
xterm:  DISPLAY is not set

when attempting to forward using putty + xming ran into this.  This means that DISPLAY isn’t set [did you check ' Enable X11 Forwarding'?], which is usually set automatically to localhost:10.0 or something [from this thread http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-July/154334.html 's previous posts].  However, it may mean that it isn’t allowed by the host.

[have to setup as specified by http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/trouble.php ]

so…not knowing that, it suggests using xhost, however doesn’t supply an executable of it, so we appear stuck at all ends.   Ahh well

download the ‘tools and clients’ to get xauth

here looks good
although a little old

this page, search for ‘ignore’

got this installing svn:

fix:
it meant
that I should export CPPFLAGS=’-fPIC’ && make clean && make

I do love console [google for it on sourceforge] as a replacement for the normal windows prompt. Haven’t tried this one, but it might be good, too
