Raylib Easing Functions Header Implementation - raylib

I'm a newbie coder and decided on using raylib to learn c / c#.. I saw an example with reasings.h header file and wanted to run that example on my local machine. I installed raylib via https://github.com/raylib-extras/game-premake
Everything worked perfectly and the raylib game runs, however I'm not sure how to use readings.h in the include sections because it says file not found, was curious how I could use this header?
Also I do see the reasings.h in my C drive C:\Users\Hoyos\Desktop\m_c_t\RAYLIB_proj1\raylib-master\examples\shapes.
Any help would be appreciated. ty!

Short answer: Just put the reasings.h in the same folder as your shapes_easings_ball_anim.c file (I suspect you are using this example).
Here you can find a longer answer: Reading the header of a file

Freeling Python API working on sample, get Import error on other code

I'm trying out Freeling's API for python. The installation and test were ok, they provide a sample.py file that works perfectly (I've played around a little bit with it and it works).
So I was trying to use it on some other python code I have, in a different folder (I'm kind of guessing this is a path issue), but whenever I import freeling (like it shows on the sample.py):
import freeling
FREELINGDIR = "/usr/local";
DATA = FREELINGDIR+"/share/freeling/";
LANG="es";
freeling.util_init_locale("default");
I get this error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'freeling'.
The sample.py is located on the ~/Freeling-4.0/APIs/Python/ folder, while my other file is located in ~/project/, I dont know if that can be an issue.
Thank you!
A simple solution is to have a copy of freeling.py in the same directory as your code, since python will look there.
A better solution is to either paste it in one of the locations where it usually checks (like the lib folder in its install directory), or to tell it that the path where your file is should be scanned for a module.
You can check out this question to see how it can be done on Windows. You are basically just setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable, and there will only be minor differences in how to do so for other OSes. This page gives instructions that should work on Linux systems.
I like this answer since it adds the path at runtime in the script itself, doesn't make persistent changes, and is largely independent of the underlying OS (apart from the fact that you need to use the appropriate module path of course).
You need to set PYTHONPATH so python can find the modules if they are not in the same folder.

Modifying gethostbyname (res_search) source code - Linux Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I am trying to modify the behaviour of the DNS lookup functions in Linux for my project by setting it to write a random string in a file as a test.
Linux use some DNS resolver functions, mainly gethostbyname. Looking forward, I found out that the resolver functions are within the glibc6 library. So, I downloaded it, compiled, generating the libresolv.so, libnss_dns.so dynamic libraries. Then, I replaced the existing ones on my system, at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.
Note: I found out these libraries are the ones that resolves queries by modifying gethostbyname code and compiling again. Then, I saw which dynamic libraries changed.
By creating a program that uses res_query directly (a resolver function) and compiling with -lresolv, it works (I used ldd command and it uses the resolver library I created). But, using gethostbyname directly from the code, using wget or browsing the web I can't get it right.
What am I doing wrong?
I discovered what should I do:
Firstly, the function called isn't gethostbyname. It is _nss_dns_gethostbyname3_r, defined in resolv/nss_dns/dns-host.c. Looking at the source I realized that this function called another one to resolve DNS names, __libc_res_nsearch, defined in resolv/res-query.c. So this is the function! I added some file writting commands there and it worked like a charm. I called it from C code using gethostbyname, used wget and Firefox, all worked. When you compile the code you should replace the libresolv.so of your system by the new one.
Note: my glibc version is 2.19.
I hope this helps someone.

CMake Help find_path find_library - I just don't understand

I am trying to learn CMake. I have the Mastering CMake book and I'm trying to go through my first "easy" tutorial. Using CMake: Hello World Example
I made it through the first part alright, but when I tried to add the sub folders for the "Building a library" part of the tutorial I'm just not getting it. I followed the instructions all the way to the very end.
**We've seen an example of how to build a program. Now let's make a library as well. The library will be called "namer" and it will have a single function "getWorld" that returns the name of the nearest planet. We choose to put this library in a subdirectory called "namer" - it doesn't really matter where we put it, this is just an example.
I made it a subfolder in my HelloWorld project. Should I be making this a separate project?
**One way we can help CMake find the Namer package (which will be our namer library) is by writing a helper script called FindNamer.cmake. This is just another file written in the CMake language that pokes around in all the places our library might be hiding. Here is an example (put this in "hello/FindNamer.cmake"):
This is my FindNamer.cmake file:
find_path(Namer_INCLUDE_DIRS world.h /usr/include "$ENV{NAMER_ROOT}")
find_library(Namer_LIBRARIES namer /usr/lib "$ENV{NAMER_ROOT}")
set(Namer_FOUND TRUE)
if (NOT Namer_INCLUDE_DIRS)
set(Namer_FOUND FALSE)
endif (NOT Namer_INCLUDE_DIRS)
if (NOT Namer_LIBRARIES)
set(Namer_FOUND FALSE)
endif (NOT Namer_LIBRARIES)
**The important parts here are the "find_path" and "find_library" commands, which look for the header file world.h and the namer library.
I followed the next instructions and at the very end the tutorial includes this:
**If we try again, configuration will still fail since the search path we gave for "find_path" and "find_library" doesn't actually include the needed files. We could copy them, or have added a hard-coded directory to find_path and find_library pointing to where the files are on our hard drive - but better, in the CMake GUI on windows or by running "ccmake ." on Linux, we can just fill in the directories there.
At this point I am completely confused (Newbie!!!!). I don't have a NamerConfig.cmake or namer-config.cmake file and I don't know what the find_path and find_library is supposed to be pointing to.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Severely Confused :-(
I said I was a newbie. I guess I'm a little tired too! Yes, these must be in two separate projects.

What should we install to include "D3dukmdt.h" in my VC++ code?

I want to use D3DDDIFormat enumeration in my code. So I included "D3dukmdt.h" as given in the link "D3DDDIFORMAT
But when I do # include "D3dukmdt.h" in my C++ file, I see that the header file D3dukmdt.h is not recognized at all.
Can anyone kindly help me in this. Should I install anything in order to include this header file.
Thanks in advance.
It looks like you need the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) to get access to such things. It seems unlikely to me that you are trying to write a driver and don't appreciate you need the driver kit so you may be better off explaining what you are trying to do to get a workable alternative explanation

how to distribute a Flash component for use with MTASC?

I have a Flash component that's just a library of compiled code with some exposed API calls. Normally we distribute this as a SWC or MXP, and it works just fine. Recently I had a client express interest in using my component, but they do all their development in MTASC only. MTASC doesn't support SWC files, so ss there a good way to send precompiled code that would work in MTASC? I'm not able to send them the original source code, but if there's some other method I'd appreciate it. I do have access to the source, so I can recompile it however necessary. Thanks!
I did find an answer, and I'm not 100% sure if this is exactly the process since I'm no longer at that job and don't have the computer/process in front of me anymore. It was a bit of a hack.
What it involved basically was unzipping the SWC file and getting a .swf and a bunch of .asi files out.
The .asi files are really just ActionScript files, but they contain intrinsic definitions, or just prototypes or footprints of whats actually there. The real meat of it is still in the .swf.
So you rename all those .asi files to .as and then put them into your MTASC classpath. Since they contain definitions, you shouldn't be getting any more "undefined variable" or "undefined function" errors at compile time. Now you just need to pull in the SWF, where the actual function bodies are defined, using loadMovie. once the loadMovie is complete, you should be able to use all of the functions.
The only caveat of course is that you have to wait for that SWF to load before calling of any of the functions from the SWC.
so step-by-step, it looks like this:
1.) unzip the SWC file. this can be done using WinZip or OS X terminal unzip command
2.) Rename .asi files to .as
3.) add new .as files to MTASC classpath
4.) add AS code to load the .swf in and make sure none of the SWC functions are called before the SWF is loaded
5.) compile
I'm pretty sure this is what we did, but i'm not in a spot to try it out right now.,
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions and I'll see if I can help figure it out any more.
