Platform Builder - File System File (.dat) - not working - windows-ce

I am working on touch screen drivers from Touch Base. I have the drivers working, but I am having a problem with the calibration utility. It requires some external bitmap files and they have to be located in \Application Data\updd. I have tried this:
root:-Directory("Application Data")
Directory("\Application Data"):-Directory("updd")
Directory("\Application Data\updd"):-File("calib_cr_32_1.bmp","\Windows\calib_cr_32_1.bmp")
Directory("\Application Data\updd"):-File("calib_cr_32_2.bmp","\Windows\calib_cr_32_2.bmp")
Directory("\Application Data\updd"):-File("calib_cr_32_3.bmp","\Windows\calib_cr_32_3.bmp")
I thought that maybe something was coming along and deleting the folder after the fact, so I tried this:
root:-Permdir("Application Data")
Directory("\Application Data"):-Permdir("updd")
Directory("\Application Data\updd"):-File("calib_cr_32_1.bmp","\Windows\calib_cr_32_1.bmp")
Directory("\Application Data\updd"):-File("calib_cr_32_2.bmp","\Windows\calib_cr_32_2.bmp")
Directory("\Application Data\updd"):-File("calib_cr_32_3.bmp","\Windows\calib_cr_32_3.bmp")
In either case, the Application Data directory exists, but nothing is in it. I tried looking at the initobj.dat file and I don't see anything else that is using Application Data. For the configuration file I was able to put it here:
root:-Directory("touch")
Directory("\touch"):-File("tbupdd.ini","\Windows\tbupdd.ini.orig")
That works just fine. The touch directory is created and that file is copied. So it seems to be something specific to Application Data. Does anyone have any ideas on what my problem could be?
This is Windows Embedded Compact 7.
Thanks!

autogenerating ".uuid" files in linux directory

OS - Debian Stable
I downloaded fonts from a website (that seemed legitimate to me) and transferred the contents to /usr/share/fonts/directory. There's a .uuid file being generated for every directory with a string like this as its sole content:
f25e9432-c6f1-4bbe-a33c-89289a8d17f1
This file regenerates right after I delete it. Is this a malicious program? Is this indexing by the OS itself or is it something like fc-cache running in the background? What could be the cause of this?
This has nothing to do with the fact that you've downloaded your own fonts. This is simply just fontconfigdoing it's job. It very well could just be the cached data created. Only rather, the binary data is being converted into a uuid string/unique ID.
So, I would say no. I do not believe this to be the cause of anything malicious. Nor are any of these occurrences a result from you downloading fonts from your web browser.

Suave with netcoreapp2.0

I've been following this Suave tutorial:
https://legacy.gitbook.com/book/theimowski/suave-music-store/details
And in general this looks good. However, I was trying to make it work with Linux and for some reason I was unable to compile it with code when TargetFramework was set to "net461" (Target Framework not found), so I tried changing it to "netcoreapp2.0". It compiled, but I hit a problem later on:
https://theimowski.gitbooks.io/suave-music-store/content/en/css.html
At the end it says to add a WebPart:
pathRegex "(.*)\.(css|png)" >=> Files.browseHome
which fails for me. All compiles, but I get
This page isn’t working
localhost didn’t send any data.
I took a look at Suave's source code and it turned out that "Files.browseHome" searches for a file under "ctx.runtime.homeDirectory".
I noticed that this is set on my machine to:
/home/<my_user_name>/.nuget/packages/suave/2.2.1/lib/netstandard1.6
and obviously, that's not my project directory, so no wonder it couldn't find the file.
My question here is: what shall I do in order to make my Suave app handle my css/png files correctly using Files.browseHome ?
EDIT:
Just found out that replacing the WebPart with:
pathRegex "(.*)\.(css|png)" >=> Files.browse "/home/<my_username>/<path_to_my_project>/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/"
works fine, but it looks ugly. Any idea how to make it better ? Basically I don't want to be forced to hardcode the absolute path anywhere.
I think the answer is to be found in https://suave.io/files.html, which suggests creating a config as follows:
let config =
{ defaultConfig with homeFolder = Some (Path.GetFullPath "./public") }
The path returned by Path.GetFullPath will depend on the current working directory that your app sees when it's started (which will, in turn, depend on how you start the app: from the command line, from a systemd unit file, etc.) There are too many possible variables here for me to be able to give you exact instructions, but if your startup method can cd into an appropriate folder before starting your Suave server, then that should solve your problem.
If you run into difficulties with getting the current working directory set correctly, then you could just hardcode the full path in the config:
let config =
{ defaultConfig with homeFolder = Some "/home/<your_username>/<path_to_your_project>/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/" }
But that's kind of ugly, and not really portable (you'd have to modify that path again once you deploy the app). So I'd recommend the approach of making sure your start script does a cd to the right location, then using Path.GetFullPath with a relative path. Alternately, you could have a config file that gets read in at app startup where you specify the home path, or pass it in as an environment variable... All kinds of possibilities. Just make sure that your code can be handed some information on startup that specifies the correct "home" folder, and then put that in your Suave config as I've shown, and that should solve it.

Finding and saving present directory of a SAS-Studio-program in a Linux server

I am trying to make a macro variable in SAS Studio which saves the "present working directory" as a macro variable.
The SAS-program is run in a "CPF" process flow file in SAS Studio, and the whole SAS-file and processes are saved and run in a Linux server.
In SAS-Studio, the location of CPF-process flow file seems like in the directory /sasdata/model_v1, and when I run a Linux command like X "pwd" then I expect that the result will give /sasdata/model_v1, but I get another directory instead like /sasinstall/sasconfig/Lev1/SASApp instead, I guess the the process flow file with CPF-suffix is run from this directory.
So the question is how I can find and save the working directory of my cpf-file and save as a macro-variable, or even maybe for my other sas-files too, I may need the solution for both SAS-files and CPF-files.
If I find the directory, then I guess it should be enough to save them as macro-variable by using %let macrovariable = "/directory"
I don't think SAS will show you the path of the process file. It doesn't in SAS/Studio 3.5.
It will set the path for a normal program file (as long as you have saved it) in the _SASPROGRAMFILE macro variable.

Typo3 linux server error: Could not load layout file

After I uploaded my Typo3-Website onto a linux server and tryed to call the homepage, I get the error: "Could not load layout file. Tried following paths: "/Main.html", "/Main" "
I checked the correct spelling (uppercase) of my layout file: It seems to be correct and in the right place. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot. I have checked the file paths and noticed I had to delete the two slashes after the equal signs.
This works on a windows platform:
partialRootPath = /fileadmin/Private/Partials/
layoutRootPath = /fileadmin/Private/Layouts
But on a linux server it has to look this way:
partialRootPath = fileadmin/Private/Partials/
layoutRootPath = fileadmin/Private/Layouts
You seem to be using TYPO3 before 7 and the StandaloneView. In this case, identify in your code where you use this view and check the calls to setTemplatePathAndFilename or the templateRootPath. You are probably having an issue with the root path being set to something that does not exist.
This might be a situation of incompatible cAsiNg of the directory name. This is especially possible if you are testing locally on MacOS (case insensitive) and then uploading to Linux (case sensitive).
If this does not help, please provide us with more information about your scenario (code, settings, environment where it works, etc).

Understanding how libzip works

I have started working with the libzip library today. But I do not understand the principle how libzip works.
My focus is on zipping a directory with all the files and dirs within
into a zip-file.
Therefore, I started with zip_open(), then I read the directory
contents and add all the dirs with zip_dir_add() to the archive.
After that, I closed the zip-file with zip_close(). Everything was
fine. The next step should be to add all the files to the archive with
zip_file_add(). But it doesn't work. The last step closing the file
fails.
OK, I forgot to create a zip_source to get this done. I added a
statement a line before to get this source (zip_source_file()). But
still it doesn't work.
What is wrong in my thinking? Do I have to fopen() and fclose() the file on the filesystem also?
And what is the difference between zip_source_file() and zip_source_filep()?
Do I have to fopen() and fclose() the file on the filesystem also?
No, you can just use zip_source_file().
From your comments I think you have the right general idea, but there is probably some detail that is making it fail. Make sure you perform all the error checking the documentation suggests after each libzip call so you can get more information about what is causing it to fail.
You could also compare your code with https://gist.github.com/clalancette/bb5069a09c609e2d33c9858fcc6e170e
