Comment on Rediscover QQ/TM by Raymond Wong

Raymond Wong — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:22:41 +0000

I didn’t know anything about QQ until I married my wife in Mainland China. Young relatives and her friends talked about QQ. I discover the ease of use when I started using the english 2009 QQ. It worked very well for about one month and it won’t let me use it again. I wonder if my Vista Window has something to do with it. I tried various other versions from QQ2003 to QQ2007. It worked in QQ2007 but quality and my voice were terrible. I had to tried other 2009 version (chinese ones) and they won’t work. I somehow bump into TM QQ 2009 and I can QQ my wife again. We communicate by Video and microphone chat. It is much better than telephone and the cost is free other than internet subscription.

@ Dat: I meant building Qt4 applications, not compiling Qt4.
@ Lol: care to elaborate?

Comment on Yay! CUDA SDK is running properly! by airfang

You were not able to use the official driver and the modified INF (inside the workaround link)? I would make sure the driver is installed properly because when things go wrong you have a better chance to rule out the driver issue first.

Sweet! You totally pointed me in the right direction, and now I have the Forceware drivers installed on my MacBook Pro, 8600M GT, in Windows XP 32-bit.
One thing is– I had to use this driver:

Only difficulty is that a couple of things didn’t copy during installation, but it works fine for me so they must have been relatively unimportant. The driver shows up as updated in the nvidia control panel.

Comment on Qt 4 + CMake + Visual Studio rules now by Apolo

Hi,
I would appreciate very much if you give me a hand with QT and VS2005… I can’t create even the simplest “Hello World” application. I’m not an experienced programmer and probably I’m doing some very basic error. I would appreciate very much if you give me a hand with a simple way of implementing at least the hello world app. I have downloaded the qt-win-opensource-4.4.0-mingw.exe file and executed, it was possible to see the demos and everything in the precompiled samples (there are several DLLs in the bin folder of QT4.4.0, maybe I should use this in some way directly).
When doing the “configure” step I think there was no problem, but when doing the “make” step it goes out with a couple of errors:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make[2]: *** [..\..\..\bin\rcc.exe] Error 1
mingw32-make[2]: Leaving directory `C:/yarpStuff/QT440/src/tools/rcc’
mingw32-make[1]: *** [release] Error 2
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/yarpStuff/QT440/src/tools/rcc’
mingw32-make: *** [sub-rcc-make_default-ordered] Error 2

Thanks in advance for your help.
Apolo

I know that this question might be a bit weird but what is the benefit of getting a VS9 solution for Qt4 with Cmake? Unless we are making changes to Qt4, can’t we just follow the conventional configure -> nmake?

Hi,

This should work. I have build QT applications with CMake and VS 9 with no problem. In fact the new version of CMake has a qt based GUI and it builds fine. If you could provide me with a complete example that should work, I could try and figure out what is wrong. Here is the cmake file for the cmake-gui in qt:

It works with VS 9.

Comment on New Google Calender feature: sync with Microsoft Outlook by Dat Chu

Dat Chu — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 06:09:31 +0000

Considering that many of Google users are Mac users, I think a version of two way sync for iCal is coming. I think that paying a premium is part of living life in the edge. No pay, no play as simply put. You should cherish the time that you have now. After all $65 is just a drop in the bucket comparing to the development cost of a piece of software.

Here is a hint, for one of your development class, why use this as a term program?

Comment on Google OS: the omega phase of Google’s monopoly? by Sammy Larbi

I wouldn’t doubt it one bit. A while back, I had wanted to do a web-based “OS” but it never got off the ground. I had the core user-management and plugin architecture built, but no apps.

On the other hand, the way I envisioned it was for enterprise, not for the common user. I can now see that the common user would work though.
