Is Numerical Recipe is a header only library ?
I have only the header files. I am not sure do I need to buy the license ?
For C++, the answer is yes. This library is not free. You can buy the dvd that has the source files from Amazon.com. In Windows, basically you need to include the path to the library. I usually do
cl /EHsc main.cpp /Fetest.exe /I D:\CPP_Libraries\NR\code

I'm linking some compiled code with icpc, e.g.:
icpc -o my_executable f1.o /path/to/f2.a -lfoo -lbar
I want icpc to tell me exactly which files it uses for the linking - which .a, .o and .so* and where. If possible, I want to be able to filter out files it looks at but eventually does not use; but even a superset of the files actually used is good enough.
How can I do that? I tried finding an appropriate command-line option for this and failed.
Note: I'm looking for a solution which doesn't depend on the link succeeding...
You can use the ldd ./executable to know the files that are used. It will list all the dynamic libraries that are dependent.
Thanks
I would like to include multiple header files placed in different folders in a single step other than Going in Properties-->Includes-->Add and linking each include folder of modules. C files are placed in different folders and tool takes all C files without any manual inclusion. Is there any possibility for header files. Thank you

Is there any possibility for header files
The short answer is no.
Header files and source files are different beasts and cannot be compared that way. C files can all be included because there is only one thing to do with them, compile them. But header files may be referenced from within C files in numerous different ways.
Consider a directory structure like this:
can/
header.h
can.c - has #include "header.h"
usa/
header.h
usa.c - has #include "header.h"
mex/
mex.c - has #include "header.h"
In that case if the tool automatically added can and usa to include paths the behaviour would be incorrect.
Another case:
include/
sys/
bits.h
The tool needs to be told if include/ should be on the include path, include/sys or neither.
I have an exe file(eg naming.exe) on my Solaris server.
I want to see the contents of the exe file.
Is it possible ?
See the strings command which will extract readable text from a file. See the article on wikipedia for more about it.
Although Solaris and Unix in general doesn't care that much about suffixes, especially for executables.".exe" isn't a common file suffix there, it looks like a Windows thing to me.
Start by running file naming.exe to get an idea about what kind of file it is.
Often data beyond simply strings is packed in too. (For example software installers sometimes have useful cross-platform data files embedded within executable files). On linux you can extract this using cabextract. I can't see any reason why porting this to Solaris would be hard if it isn't already working on Solaris.
I was wondering if there is a way to create a '.exe' file from ' .m' file in MATLAB, such that it can be run in machine which does not have MATLAB (like it can be done in C, C++).
I know writing a MATLAB function is one way, but I am not sure if it can run in machine without MATLAB.
Also I would like to hide my code and just create a script which can be run by a user using his own data files.
The Matlab Compiler is the standard way to do this. mcc is the command. The Matlab Runtime is required to run the programs; I'm not sure if it can be directly integrated with the executable or not.
If you have MATLAB Compiler installed, there's a GUI option for compiling. Try entering
deploytool
in the command line. Mathworks does a pretty good job documenting how to use it in this video tutorial: http://www.mathworks.com/products/demos/compiler/deploytool/index.html
Also, if you want to include user input such as choosing a file or directory, look into
uigetfile % or uigetdir if you need every file in a directory
for use in conjunction with
guide
Try:
mcc -m yourfile
Also see help mcc
If your code is more of a data analysis routine (vs. visualization / GUI), try GNU Octave. It's free and many of its functions are compatible with MATLAB. (Not 100% but maybe 99.5%.)
mcc -?
explains that the syntax to make *.exe (Standalone Application) with *.m is:
mcc -m <matlabFile.m>
For example:
mcc -m file.m
will create file.exe in the curent directory.
It used to be possible to compile Matlab to C with older versions of Matlab. Check out other tools that Matlab comes with.
Newest Matlab code can be exported as a Java's jar or a .Net Dll, etc. You can then write an executable against that library - it will be obfuscated by the way. The users will have to install a freely available Matlab Runtime.
Like others mentioned, mcc / mcc.exe is what you want to convert matlab code to C code.
The "StandAlone" method to compile .m file (or files) requires a set of Matlab published library (.dll) files on a target (non-Matlab) platform to allow execution of the compiler generated .exe.
Check MATLAB main site for their compiler products and their limitations.
I developed a non-matlab software for direct compilation of m-files (TMC Compiler). This is an open-source converter of m-files projects to C. The compiler produces the C code that may be linked with provided open-source run-time library to produce a stand-alone application. The library implements a set of build-in functions; the linear-algebra operations use LAPACK code. It is possible to expand the set of the build-in functions by custom implementation as described in the documentation.
I'm trying to grok gettext.
Here's how I think it works -
First you use some sort of po editor and tell it to scan a directory for your application, create these ".po" files, the application makes a po file for each file scanned which contains a string in a programming language, then compile them to binary mo files, to which gettext parses, and you call a method using a high level API such as Zend_Translate and specify you want to use gettext, it can be setup to cache translations and it just returns those.
The part I'm really unclear about is how the editing of po files is done really, it's manual - right? Then when the compilation is done of course the application relies on the binary mo files.
And if someone could provide useful linux applications for editing .po files I'd be grateful.
The tutorial on NLS using GNU gettext should help you understand the process.
As for editing .po files, there's at least two applications (apart from vi :-): gtranslator and poedit.
