My company is using an old CentOS6 and they wont update it before months (years?). This is totally out of my control and it obviously makes using up to date software a nightmare.
I would like to use Visual Studio Code as a C++ IDE but its intellisense plugin is running with glibc >=2.14 and Centos6 comes with glibc 2.12.
It also needed some more dependencies I managed to recompile and load with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I tried compiling a new glibc and load it as well but it segfault, as expected.
I used the compiled version of VSCode from the official website.
I tried compiling it myself but it requires to download many files and my virtual machine does not have Internet, I can only transfer files through ftp. I created a local yarn repository, compiled all appropriate version of Yarn, NodeJS but a compiled binary is trying to download electron and I have no idea where to put the file to trick him into thinking it's downloaded already (assuming I could).
There are standalone solutions to run software on old distribution, like AppImage but VSCode is not part of their apps.
Would you have any idea on how to run VSCode on Centos6? Did you ever try to compile VSCode without and Internet Connection?
Currently the only viable solution I see would be to create an AppImage at home.
To run VS Code Server on CentOS 6, I followed the "glibc and libstdc ++ on RHEL / CentOS 6 update" article from here.
Perhaps this option will help you.

We’ve been trying to get SikuliX 2.0.5 to run on a RHEL 8 system, and not having much luck.
We went through the instructions on this webpage:
https://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.io/en/latest/newslinux.html#newslinux
We started on RHEL 7, but the OpenCV shared library required a newer version of GLIBC than is standard on RHEL 7 (version ‘GLIBC_2.27’ not found (required by ~/.Sikulix/SikuliLibs/libopencv_java430.so)), so we moved up to RHEL 8. We had to build OpenCV (v4.3.0) from source because we could not find a java companion package for RHEL 8, which required quite a few other dependencies, but in the end we got it built with most options enabled, and installed as root on the system. We also got Tesseract installed via a package, as well as xdotool and wmctrl.
We are setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ensure that the OpenCV libs are picked up, and when we run with the “-v -c” options to the IDE, there are no obvious problems reported. It seems to believe it is moving the mouse, though we can see that it is not, and when we try to capture a screenshot, the “canvas” from which to capture is either uninitialized/garbage frame buffer memory, or a totally black screen. On rare occasions we have seen the actual desktop, but most times we do not.
Originally the system had 2 monitors, but was subsequently reconfigured to a single display system. We were originally running remotely over NoMachine, but have also tried running locally and observed no difference in behavior.
Any pointers or suggestions would be most welcome. Given that no error messages are being reported, we are out of ideas for how to proceed in debugging the problem. It appears that more native support is provided for Debian-based systems, but we’re attempting to validate a product which only advertises support for RHEL systems, so we’d prefer to get it working in this environment if at all possible.
I am trying to create an extension. The catch is that I am doing this on a server to which I am connected with the ssh extension.
I am using yo for the boilerplate and I follow the basic steps here to create a hello world project.
When I launch the debugger with F5, a new VS Code instance on the remote server is launched, but the extension is not installed in that instance. I am also not able to execute the command.
As side-information, this is a raspberry Pi, so its 32 bit arm.
So the question is, is this generally possible to develop extensions on a Remote Host and if so, could the issue be related to the architecture of the Pi?
I could probably delete this question, but I will answer instead, maybe one day someone has the same problem.
When running yo code, the generated manifest will mark the extension as compatible with the latest VS Code engine. This may or may not be the version that is actually installed on your system.
"engines": {
"vscode": "^1.56"
}
For this example, the version is 1.56. When I check for the installed version I see its 1.55.2 though.
$ code -v
1.55.2
3c4e3df9e89829dce27b7b5c24508306b151f30d
arm
When setting the engine in the manifest to at max the version in your system, it works as described in my question above.
Logically, if the version is too high, the extension won't be installed in any workspace.
I found this page also helpful, for the topic in general -> https://code.visualstudio.com/api/advanced-topics/remote-extensions
I am trying to deploy a Java project into Google App Engine from Eclipse and am blocked by JSPs.
Everything JSP makes my app not capable of deploying due to "'utf8' codec can't decode byte" error.
Not trying to insert any strange (not UTF-8) character, everything Eclipse is set to UTF-8.
Tried to send archives which were OK with the Google App Engine Tools for Eclipse (soon to be deprecated), won't deploy.
I've seen threads regarding reverting the Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse plugin to previous version (1.58 seemed to avoid a few problems) being a possible solution to these recent errors but I have a problem installing, the batch just tells me "Install will exit" ?!
Tried to uninstall previous (latest) versions before, made sure I was launching the bundled-python batch, still not capable of installing an old version of the Google Cloud SDK shell.
Would be glad if anybody had any suggestion at what makes my install fail.
Thanks in advance.
There are a few ways you can get older version of Google Cloud SDK.
Download versioned archive
(If you are on windows) Grab google-cloud-sdk-XXX.0.0-windows-x86_64-bundled-python.zip file.
Unzip it to some\dir
Add some\dir\google-cloud-sdk\bin directory to your system path
Restart your command prompt (or other apps which depend on gcloud) and run for example gcloud info, it should be fully functional installation, no need to run install.bat.
Alternatively, use existing SDK installation and gcloud component manager to go back to previous versions. For example
gcloud components update --version 158.0.0
target by version number using apt-get :
sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk=294.0.0-0
I have installed netbeans in my PC (windows 7), wrote a javaFX application program and generated executable jar file
I finally need the executable jar file to be working on Raspberry pi linux and I want to use only openjdk since oracle java for Rpi doesn't support AWT and Swing and my application majorly includes that.
When i tried to execute the jar file using openjdk, i am getting an error - you need to install newer version of JRE to execute this file. I have also tried to execute the same file in ubuntu to verify if there is something wrong and its showing the same error
But, the jar file was executed properly through oracle java in ubuntu. I also tried using Oracle java on RPi, but it opened but didn't work properly.(expected, because it doesn't support AWT and Swing)
So, I think i have an issue opening the file using openjdk. Can somebody help me with this
Thanks in Advance
I am in the process of buying my Raspberry Pi but have already started looking at the development environment I will need. You may find what you are looking for in these very clear resources I found:
http://adf4beginners.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/how-to-get-java-embedded-suite-running.html
http://docs.oracle.com/javame/config/cldc/rel/8/rpi/html/getstart_rpi/toc.htm
As Ryanteck mentioned, you will probably have to be running Raspbian (item number 1, the tutorial, uses that OS).
Good luck
The Raspberry Pi's recommended OS does not support Java at all. The main thing to try is to test it using the Debian Soft float image which should support Java on the Raspberry Pi fine. But it is still in development so may not work.
So I have made GUI frontend for latex with QT5 using QT creator. The application works fine, but I'm unable to deploy it. The deploy option in build is grayed out. I have also tried following this guide but I can't even configure my QT to use static linking. I was able to configure the source, but when I try to run mingw32-make sub-src, it says nothing to do here.
I downloaded QT from here using the link Qt 5.0.1 for Windows 32-bit (MinGW 4.7, 823 MB). I have also downloaded microsoft visual studio express for Windows 8 to get tools required for building c++.
I also tried to install mingw32 manually. I have also installed Strawberry perl, because one guide told me to do that, but that did nothing.
I managed to fix this problem. There was one .dll. Reason why I didn't find it earlier was that my application did not need it by itself, but one of libraries I used was dependaple from it. The missing .dll was icuuc49.dll.
