How to build facebook's scribe? - c++

I just downloaded the source code of facebook's scribe. I'm new to it and having read the readme.build file , I can say I could barely understand how to build it. Could anyone give me the step by step procedures? thanks... :)

All you need to do is follow the readme/build instructions that came with the package. If you don't have Linux installed in your PC, you can simply use a VM and install linux in it...

I wrote a detailed tutorial on how to build Scribe from the source on Linux (Fedora) here:

It is pretty complex to install frankly, so hopefully the steps above will help you out.

FindOpenCV.cmakeConfig.cmake

I'm new to Unix and trying to get OpenCV running on a Raspberry Pi.
Have copied a file called FindOpenCV from github and installed that in usr/shared/OpenCV and now get a message from the interpreter saying it can't find FindOpenCV.cmakeConfig.cmake.
Been going through the stuff on the internet for 4 days now and no further ahead. Can anyone help a complete beginner please.
Thanks in anticipation.

This file should be installed as part of OpenCV installation along with many other files. You need to install OpenCV, not pick random files from the repo. How to do it depends on what OS your Pi board is running.

Inno Setup - Setup.exe works locally, but not as a download

I compiled my first program this with Inno setup for a python 2.7 script with connections to opencv and numpy. The setup.exe works perfectly on my computer locally. It installs, it runs, there are no detectable errors.
When i go to make the setup.exe available through github:
https://github.com/bw4sz/OpenCV_HummingbirdsMotion/tree/master/Installer/Output
I can download the setup.exe, but on the SAME computer, it won't install: Error reads, the Windows version of the software is not compatible with the version you are running, check with the system if you need a x86 (64) or 32 bit version.
This is confusing to me, since the program was designed on this machine, and i just need to distribute it. Do i fundamentally not understand what Inno Setup does, i.e that a user needs to do more than download the setup.exe. I can provide scripts if needed.
Can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Ben
It depends on github. In a quick way I found this link, hope it help.

OpenCV - How do I get started?

I just don't seem to be able to get OpenCV to work properly. Here's what I want to accomplish:
Use CodeBlocks (which I installed using codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe) with OpenCV (installer: OpenCV-2.4.2.exe) on my Windows x64.
I've tried a lot of different configurations which will only bother you if I posted them all, so I hope you don't mind if I just ask the simple question: how do I get this to work?
I think I'm missing the smallest detail right now, so a detailed description of how to get started would be welcome.
If the OpenCV installer did the job, you should have by now OpenCV libraries and headers already installed in your system.
I would then go ahead and try to compile a hello world basic code, like the one you can get from here. If you would like to program using an IDE, like VisualC++ in Windows, you can follow this guide that will help you setting up the environment.
OpenCV team just introduced their new web site. There you can find Introduction to OpenCV section with installation instructions, including detailed instructions for Windows. Don't forget to cleanup your system before installation to avoid problems with mixing different install options. If you still can't get it working with CodeBlocks, follow Dan's advice and try compiling from command line.
When you are done with installation, go on and read there great new tutorials!

Compile NodeJS C++ modules on Windows?

Is there a documentation to follow on this subject?
I wonder if I need to go to download Ubuntu and install it on a Virtual Box or if I can just skip that time wasting process and compile directly on Windows.
Has anyone tried compiling with Visual Studio or with some other tool?

Trying to install boost libraries, not working?

I download the file where it says 'download now' from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/
when i unzip, there's a small .exe file. I run this (and also as administrator) a command prompt pops up and disappears instantly.
Yet everywhere i read i should be getting licence agreement etc.
Im on Win 7 64?
Help :)
That's just the boost jam build tool. You probably want the complete boost source archive. Then to build it, say for VS 2010, see my answer here.
Open cmd.exe as an administrator, then run the .exe. That way, you can see the output.
Use one of the installers provided by BoostPro computing. It is going to be much easier for you.
