I have created the world's greatest
OSS program. Here it is.
I defy you to compile and run it.
This will separate the trolls from the zealots.
HHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAH!!!!!
After a bit of fussing,
$ gcc `gtk-config --cflags` yoU.c `gtk-config --libs`
$ ./a.out
worked (fortunately, I've seen this before), displaying
a button labeled "!tihsmud olleH". Clicking on the button
reversed the text. Clicking on it again re-reversed
the text.
It's *so* nice to work remotely as well, on simple stuff like this;
I don't need to wait until I get home. :-)
(Note: this was on Debian. Other systems may vary slightly.)
ObCoffee: I think it's time for a third cup. With chocolate. :-)
(Yeah, I know. But it's institutional-grade stuff. :-) )
ObSeattle: Been there. Nice town but it's been quite awhile since I've
been up there. Not sure which I like better, Oregon or
Seattle. Of course I live in the SF Bay Area (aka Silicon
Valley); make of it what you will.
ObDotNet: It would be interesting to see how simple the actual compile
lines for C# are.
ObJava: I could write a simple Java program that does much the same
thing, but I'll admit Gtk isn't too bad, if one likes C/C++.
(Gtk-- might be useful for C++.)
