KWStyle binary for Windows? - utility

I'm trying to install the KWStyle style-checker utility for C++ on Windows 7. I seem to be stumped at building it with my existing system.
Anyone know of an existing Windows binary for that tool?

How to download Go on a pixelbook/chromebook/Linux(debian)

I use a Pixelbook for programming, and it uses Linux(Debian) (A beta version). It is however quite complicated to download certain software, and I was wondering if anyone could help. I am downloading Go, for Linux 64bit. I don't know what to write in the terminal in order to unpack it and open it. Thanks!
There is a detailed guide for ChromeOS Installation on Golang Wiki. It contains all commands you need to type in terminal.

How do I use 7zip in a .NET Core app running on Linux?

We've got a .NET Core app that was hosted in Azure Service Fabric. Now we are moving it to Linux-based Docker containers.
We need to be able to create 7zip archives for an external service (one of those fancy "drop your files here via ftp" interfaces which requires 7zip archives).
Until now we could use a CLI wrapper ported from .NET Framework to .NET Core. But that does no longer work once we switch to a Linux environment.
We can't change the external service (because it is not ours) and we don't want to use Windows-based Docker containers.
There is a large number of 7zip NuGet packages for .NET Framework. Very few for .NET Core (mostly outdated and no longer maintained). And none I could find for .NET Core on Linux.
Do you have any suggestions on how we could solve that issue?
UPDATE: I found one similar question among the open issues of the SevenZipSharp project. Sadly there is no solution included.
UPDATE 2: Unfortunately we can't use an alternative implementation of the LZMA algorithm. Our 3rd party requires archives in the .7z format :-(
This is not an answer as it doesn't really provide a solution to the question, but it does address why it unlikely there will come an updated 7Zip library for Linux and address the problem with a good LZMA OS-cross-platform compression engine. So it should be seen as a long Comment, I hope it's okay.
It seems 7Zip is not maintained on Linux at all, current library is rather old, and I don't trust it's compatibility with the current and newer Windows 7Zip versions, so in my view 7Zip on Linux is a no-go. It's my understanding that Igor Pavlov (creator and maintainer of Zip) only target Windows. And he's not the creator of the current and old Linux 7Zip library.
A LZMA compression engine with both Linux and Windows support is LZip (.lz).
The latest library (zlib) is 1.11 and in July 2019 I sent a request to Domani Hannes to compile a new Windows version and he was to kind to reply with a download link and the following message:
I just now built plzip-1.8 with lzlib-1.11 and mingw-w64-winpthreads-v6.0.0.
There are no longer modifications necessary to be able to compile for Windows, so it's pretty straightforward.
I guess it mean it's easy to compile newer Windows versions in the future too.
Download link to this binary: plzip_zlib_1.11.exe.
I haven't have time to test it thoroughly yet for my own project, so if anyone go down this path please share your experiences (with a risk of hijacking this thread, so maybe not :-P).

How to interact with One Drive using C++

I'm looking for a way to interact with OneDrive through C++. I need to log in and download/upload the file from a known location.
I tried to install curl in VS 2019/2017 using vcpkg but could not, it does not inclide to the code.
Have a look into Microsoft's "azure-storage-cpp"-sample under:

Unity 3d installing Standard assets for Linux/Ubuntu

I have installed Unity 3d on my Linux system.I have downloaded the Window version of the standard assets (.exe) since there is no option for installation in Linux, I tried installing the Standard assets(.exe) through wine... but im getting an error that unity requires windows 7 or more... But since this is Linux i cant help it.Is there any other way?
You can't expect .exe program to work on Linux out of the Box without the help of visual machine or some other software such as Wine. You don't even need the exe program to install the Standard Assets. You can get it directly from the Asset store from your Linux.
It's recommended that you use other OS at this time because the Linux version of Unity is still in experimental mode and you may have problems with it in the future.
You just download unity using the following link,
Unity 5.1 for Linux
It will contains standard asset also. Don't forget to select standard assets while installing.

Xuggler for Linux

I am trying to configure Xuggler on my Linux machine by following this tutorial: http://blog.xuggle.com/2009/01/23/how-to-install-xuggler-on-linux/
In one step it says "Download the latest Xuggler .tar.gz file for Linux from here" but i dont see any file or link there. Can someone please share the link from where I can download xuggler.tar.gz? I tried google but could not find anything.
Thanks much in advance!
That post is pretty old, and refers to the older versions of Xuggler where you had to actually install it.
There's a "no-install" version now (since 5.2 or 5.3), and you can download the JAR files here.
Just download the one for the architecture of Linux you are using and add it to your project and you should be good!
