cmake.nanorc

Submitted by dan on Wed, 02/24/2010 - 14:08

This is a rough version of the cmake.nanorc it works for my uses for the most part there are a few areas specifically with nested variables that it doesn't quite display everything as it should.
It highlights all the command keywords, comments, variables and anything in quotation marks.

Nano Editor Tricks

Submitted by dan on Wed, 02/24/2010 - 11:38

In the rounds of looking for a specific syntax highlighting mechanism for Text Wrangler ( a fairly nice but large text editor for OSX). I found what I was looking for there but realized there was a problem with Text Wrangler, it would only start the syntax highlighter based soley on the extension of the file. This is a problem because I was looking for a syntax highlighting for cmake, and the primary build files are usually denoted as CMakeLists.txt files. I really didn't want to start the syntax highlighter for all txt files as I end up processing a large variety of files.

Cross Platform Logging in C++

Submitted by dan on Thu, 02/18/2010 - 11:24

The usual Developer's dilemma here, I went on a hunt to try and find a decent open source cross platform C++ library that offered a good logging system. One that would write proper text logs on mac/linux and write either to the event viewer/text file on windows machines. Well all the systems I found out there worked really good on one platform but seriously lack in other areas. So in typical open source fashion I figured I would write my own that would be generic and fit my current needs.
