I'm using clisp on Windows8.1 64bit. The problem is that when I type
(ed "filename"), notepad comes foreground and I need to edit the file with it.
Since I've already installed vim and configured PATH (It's C:\vim),
I want to edit them in vim as I do in linux systems.
So, how can I run vim from clisp ed command?
Set *editor* in your .clisp or EDITOR in your environment.
This is described in the Fine Manual.
(You now owe me 1 zorkmid).

Is there a way to update/edit pycharm interpreters without the gui? IE editing some configuration file or something?
I am running pycharm community version 2018.2 in unix environment
The pycharm interpreter uses a defined python installation on the machine, either python or anaconda or something. I believe you can update the python via running it from it's installation location and piping or whatever you need from there.
On Windows, default terminal for Atom's Platformio-Ide-Terminal is Powershell (at least, that is what I get without any configuration).
I would prefer a terminal using unix-type commands. I already have MINGW and CYGWIN installed.
How can I avoid opening a Powershell and opening another terminal type instead?
Set the default shell in:
Edit>>Settings>>Packages>>Platformio Ide Terminal>>Settings>>Shell Override
You can use the git's bash as proposed here as you probably already have git installed.
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe
Step by Step Solution
Go the Setting-> Packages -> In Search Bar, search for the platformio.
Open platformio and go to Shell Override Option.
Put the following line as per as your Terminal Requirement
For cmd- C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe
For Power Shell- C:\\WINDOWS\\Sysnative\\WndowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe
For bash- C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe or C:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe (depending on how you install the bash). Be Sure, that you have already install the bash into your computer.
Now, you can integrate bash, cmd, git bash, Power Shell into Atom using platformio as terminal.
For CYGWIN users, the bash executable from the following location has proved useful for setting the shell override Settings >> Packages >> Platformio Ide Terminal >> Settings >> Shell Override
C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe
If you are now using Ubuntu for Windows 10 (downloaded from the app store), you can change it to that as well.
Ubuntu gets installed in Windows' PATH by default, so just change the default shell to:
ubuntu.exe
That's it. Just remember that to get to your code, cd to /mnt/(driveletter)/wherever/your/files/sit.
For someone who still can't get this to work because your git bash is installed in AppData. This worked for me.
C:\Users\saurabh\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin\bash.exe
I am trying to use Emacs instead of R on my Mac machine. I've been looking online how to install ESS so that I can use R in Emacs. But I am really confused by the installation manual which says,
Extract all the files from ess-VERSION.tgz into the directory PREFIX/site-lisp where
PREFIX is appropriate for GNU Emacs on your system; PREFIX will most likely be
either /usr/share/emacs or /usr/local/share/emacs (on Mac OS X, PREFIX will
most likely be something like /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources):
Where do I find this: /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources. I looked at Applications folder and it only contains the application file emacs.
Mac applications are bundled in folders with the .app extension. These folders are handled in a special manner by the finder which hides their contents. (See https://superuser.com/questions/78176/how-do-mac-app-execution-files-work for info). Specifically in you case /Applications/Emacs.app is really a folder. To get to its contents right click on it and choose "Show package contents". You will be able to get to /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources from there.
The ESS documentation recommends using a modified version of Emacs, which includes ESS and a few other packages. It is available for Windows and Mac.
Where does the Arduino IDE save the binaries on Mac OS X?
In the Arduino software: go to File -> Preferences and then select Show verbose output during -> compilation.
Finally, when you are compiling, the program will show you lots of data. At the last lines, you will find the path1 to the .hex file.
1Every time the path changes!
Arduino 1.6.5 has a new command: Under the Sketch menu, select Export compiled Binary, then Show Sketch Folder. There it is.
Arduino IDE uses the mktemp command to create the temp directory on Mac and Linux. However, on Mac the default $TMPDIR env var is not /tmp/ as it is on Linux. On Mac it's under /var/folders and it is randomly generated on boot. That complicates things a little, but here are tricks you can add to your toolkit (as aliases, functions, shell scripts, etc.) to help you find what you need.
To find the hex files
find $TMPDIR -name \*.hex -exec ls -lrt {} \; #<-- you need that backslash before and space after the semicolon
To find build directories
ls -ldrt $TMPDIR/build*
NOTE: The ls flags of r and t cause the listing to be "reverse" sorted by "time" respectively. This means that the newest will be on the bottom.
What UDalillu said. The trick also works on Windows. On XP it ended up in C:\Documents and Settings\Your_User_Name\Local Settings\Temp\buildxxxxx\ (the xxx number changes for each build, pick the most recent).
The arduino web page http://arduino.cc/en/Hacking/BuildProcess
described
During a "Verify" the .hex file is written to /tmp (on Mac and Linux) or \Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temp (on Windows)
I am using fedora19 64bit, and when i check my /tmp the build directory created is
/tmp/build8102....tmp/
I made a simple tutorial here with images
It is very beautifully explained in the following blog
Where to find Arduino Hex files or Output Binaries
I hope this helps :)
I'm trying to build an application from source in windows that requires some Unix tools. I think it's the apparently standard ./configure; make; make install (there's no INSTALL file). First I tried MinGW but got confused that there was no bash, autoconf, m4, or automake exes in \bin. I'm sure I missed something obvious but I installed Cygwin anyways just to move forward. For some reason when I run
sh configure.sh
I get:
platform unix
compiler cc
configuration directory ./builds/unix
configuration rules ./builds/unix/unix.mk
My OS has identity problems. Obviously the makefile is all wrong since I'm not on unix but win32. Why would the configure script think this? I assume it has something to do with Cygwin but if I remove that I can't build it at all. Please help; I'm very confused.
Also is it possible to build using MinGW? What's the command for bash and is mingw32-make the same as make? I noticed they're different sizes.
Everything is fine. When you are inside CygWin, you are basically emulating an UNIX. sh runs inside CygWin, and thus identifies the OS correctly as Unix.
Have a look at GCW - The Gnu C compiler for Windows
Also, you might be interested in this help page, that goes into some detail about the minimal system (MSYS), such as how to install, configure et. c.
That should help you get bash, configure and the rest to work for MinGW as well.
From the Cygwin home page
Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:
A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
A collection of tools which provide Linux look and feel.
Since configure is using the Cygwin environment, it is interacting against the emulation layer and so it is just like it's working on a Unix environment.
Have you tried building the application and seeing if it works?
