How to build .deb package from source

Instructions for building a .deb file from source files. Most errors you get while compiling is that you might have to install some packages from aptitude.

Copy files to temp:

cp -r '/dir/of/the/source/files' /tmp

Go to the copied files:

cd /tmp/source-dir-name

While doing dh_make press "s" for the first question and "enter" for the second one:

dh_make --createorig

Build the package:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

.deb file should appear into your /tmp directory if building was successful.

How to install ssh with sftp server?

I wanted to install ftp server on my little home server. So I googled it. I found out that it would be safer to use sftp instead of ftp, which would be file transfer for ssh. It's also easier you can just type ssh://username@www.example_domain.com in your nautilus and if you see your files then you have successfully logged in. You can easily make new users and give them permissions through ssh configuration files.

To enable it you need ssh server, if you don't have it:

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

Then you have to change a row in your OpenSSH server configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Replace the line:

Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

with:

Subsystem sftp internal-sftp

NB: This works on Debian and all distributions based on it, like Ubuntu. The default port is 22 for ssh so you probably want it to be opened, if you want to access your sftp outside lan.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable...

This is the error I got while compiling:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK_CFLAGS
and GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Installing "gnome-core-devel" was the solution for my problem:

sudo apt-get install gnome-core-devel

How to use diff and patch in bash script

Diff and patch commands can be used to compare differences of files and change the content based on that. You can see something similar in SVN or wikis.

How to make and use .patch script:

You have to have the original version of file and the edited version of the same file. Then you can make .patch file about the differences with this command:

diff -u /original/file/location /edited/file/location > patch_file_name.patch

You can use the created .patch file on any file with this command:

patch /file/that/will/be/patched < location/of/patch/file.patch

How to get self directory in bash script

This makes variable $SELF_DIR where is location of that script:

SELF_DIR=$(cd $(dirname $0); pwd -P)

This does the same thing as the first one but it adds the script file name to the variable:

SELF_DIR=$(cd $(dirname $0); pwd -P)/$(basename $0)

Differences between echo and print

There are 2 commands called echo and print. Both do practically the same thing. There are some differences. Print behaves like function and echo is a bit faster.

Display string:

1 <php
2 //Echo displays this line faster.
3 echo 'This will be displayed.';
4 //Print is a bit slower.
5 print 'This will be displayed.';
6 ?>

Difference between ''(single quotes) and ""(double quotes):

1 <?php
2 $string = 'dog';
3 //This prints: This is a $string.
4 echo 'This is a $string.';
5 //This prints: This is a dog.
6 echo "This is a $string.";
7 //This prints: This is a dog.
8 echo 'This is a ' . $string . '.';
9 ?>

There is no point to use double quotes if you dont have any string in it, it just makes the code a bit slower.

Display html code with echo or print:

1 <?php
2 //The right way
3 echo '<img src="picture.png" border="0" />';
4 //The wrong way
5 echo "<img src='picture.png' border='0' />";
6 ?>

Parameters:

1 <?php
2 //Echo can take multiple parameters
3 echo 'parameter1', 'parameter2', 'parameter...';
4 //Print can't take multipleparameters
5 print 'No multiple parameters possible, because I behave like a function';
6 ?>

Some day here will be some examples, about prints function like behaviour being a useful thing.

Add user to a role using CreateUserWizard.
