All I had to do was turn on bluetooth on my Mac and my Razr v3m and now I am syncing via iSync!

http://www.libgd.org/DOC_INSTALL_OSX is a good page on all the steps one needs to get GD installed for perl. Is it worth it? Time will tell.

Well, I am real late for work now. It turns out my Mac did not have automake-1.9.6, which caused all sorts of issues. I got that from here: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/ more specifically here: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.6.tar.gz

Once I installed that, I got GD to make. Not pretty. Not pretty at all!

Bugzilla is written in perl. It can be downloaded here http://www.bugzilla.org/download/

You need to have a web server. I personally like MAMP.

As mentioned it is in perl. So, when you run 'checksetup.pl' you will get a list of things you need to install. You install these things with CPAN, today I found a way to always be running 'sudo make' instead of just make. If you ain't sudo, you ain't going to be happy.

at shell prompt:
sudo cpan
then you enter:

o conf make_install_make_command 'sudo make'
o conf commit
q

That should help!
These are the things I need to install!

GDGraph: /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "GD::Graph"'
GDTextUtil: /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "GD::Text"'
Template-GD: /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Template::Plugin::GD::Image"'
GD: /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "GD"'
Email-Reply: /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Email::Reply"'

http://richardsbraindump.blogspot.com/ has a good amount of information on Microsoft Team Foundation Server. Such as this: http://richardsbraindump.blogspot.com/2007/07/versioning-builds-with-tfs...

What I found interesting is not installing Developer Studio on the build machine. Just using the .Net framework msbuild. That is cool.

As you, the loyal reader of my blog, know, I love the DOS "FOR" command. Yet today I found out about MSFT's "Power Shell". You can see "Getting Started with Windows Power Shell" here:

seems to be a free virtualization tool. I haven't looked into it, but I found out about it from the Visual Build Professional site. ( http://www.kinook.com/VisBuildPro/?lqm ) I found that site from a banner ad on http://silverlight.net/

What is of note is they have videos! I have yet to see them, but I am from the TV generation.
