Net::DBus with ActiveState Perl - perl

Apologies If I misunderstood anything incorrectly, I am very new to DBus having beginner experience in Perl.
I am working for a project where I need to connect to a remote dbus (running on linux) from a window machine. I will be connecting to the remote system bus and will be invoking method calls, signals etc. I can not change the host machine to Linux as we have other development which is developed on windows platforms.
Perl provides a support for dbus using Net::DBus module, but this module is not available for window platforms.
http://code.activestate.com/ppm/Net-DBus/
It seems that there is also a windows port of dbus available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/windbus/
I am trying to build the Net-DBus module using this windows port of DBus, but's not working.
Appreciate your help, how to build such module.

How To Get Windows Run Time Environment with Code Server

Clearly, you can run Code Server on a Linux host, or with WSL on a Windows host. Either will provide a Linux run-time environment for your code. I have 2 projects with 3rd party Windows binary dependencies which will not run on Linux. So, is there a way to get a Windows run-time using Code Server?

postgresql on HP NonStop system

I want to install postgres on HP NonStop J series server.
Can someone who is having experience on similar configuration help me out?
I did not found any postgres libraries/installation packages/patches for NonStop servers.
I am new to NonStop systems but have worked on linux and unix (HP-UX) environment.
NonStop systems provides Open System Services (OSS) environment which is an open computing interface to the HP NonStop operating system and is based on POSIX standards.
Postgres package is available for HP-UX system; can it be configured for OSS environment on Non Stop server ?
You will almost certainly have to compile PostgreSQL - and possibly its dependencies, depending on what's available pre-packaged for HP-UX - from source code. See installation from source code in the docs.
PostgreSQL is pretty well behaved and reasonable to compile, and there's a HP-UX ia64 buildfarm member so builds are tested on HP-UX.

Remote C development on a UNIX machine from a Windows machine using eclipse

I have terminal access to an AIX machine using ssh/telnet (No root access). I need to develop programs using C and compile it using the xlc compiler. Currently I can open remote files in eclipse(Juno) using RSE and edit files, but code-completion and error checking won't work. Can anyone please, help me to setup eclipse, so that code-completion would work and also, I would be able to compile the code from my Windows machine. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

How to build a c++ project on a remote computer in Eclipse?
Somewhat similar. If you look at the 3rd answer.
Also you could try X11 Forwarding -

Instead of trying to setup Eclipse and CDT to do remote development, you may want to consider purchasing IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software (RDP), which is an Eclipse-based remote development environment that allows for C and C++ (and COBOL) application development on AIX from a Windows or Linux system.

What are (dis)advantages running POE (Perl object environment) under Windows?

I need to build a production critical system for networking using the POE module under Windows system.
As I see from some source in the Internet that POE is not behaved well under Windows, could someone give feedback for bad or good about the usage of POE framework under Windows?

Does anybody have any experience installing the KDE for Windows port?

I come from a Linux/Unix development background and my latest job uses a Windows XP based development environment. I find that I'm missing a lot of functionality that I got used to when working with Linux and KDE 4. Particularly the Konsole application. I noticed that there is a beta of KDE 4 with several ports of KDE applications for Windows XP/Vista/7. Does anybody here have any experience with these ports?
Konsole is not available as part of the Windows KDE port, because Windows doesn't provide the Unix "pseudo terminal" (pty) interface that terminal emulators need to communicate with the programs running in them. For that, you need Cygwin (or one of the other Unix layers for Windows, but I'm not aware of KDE ports for them). Cygwin of course also gives you all the usual Unix command line utilities.
The Cygwin distro itself does not provide KDE, but an additional package collection called Cygwin Ports does. This includes Konsole. You'll need an X server, with x.org provided by Cygwin being the obvious choice.
Note, however, that getting the X server and KDE working with Cygwin requires quite a bit more fiddling than it does with the likes of Kubuntu or OpenSuse. For something simpler, although lacking tabs, you might want to have a look at Cygwin's mintty, which is an xterm-compatible terminal with a native Windows user interface that doesn't require an X server.
