Re: Perl Modules from CPAN

Firstly check whether the module has been packaged for debian e.g. aptitude search lib | grep perl
will give a large list of packages. If the one you want is listed here then install it via aptitude install. If, however, it is not packaged, then as root, do perl -MCPAN -e 'install Name::Of::Module'

Re: llvm/clang maths libraries

I was comparing the relative speeds of programming languages on the Pi.

Re: Comparitive speeds of programming languages on the Pi

All linked from http://www.fourtheye.org/projecteulertable.html - I did not post this initially because I did not want to be flamed for posting the solutions to the problems (you are supposed to think through the problems yourself!).

Comparitive speeds of programming languages on the Pi

I wrote the first 25 problems from http://projecteuler.net/ in a few different languages (Perl, C, C++, Python, Java, Forth and ARM assembly language) using as natural a style as I could in each language and generally avoiding extensions e.g. boost in C++. I am interested in ARM assembly language, a...

Re: Programming C on the Raspberry Pi

Is there any reason why you want to cross-compile? You could use an ssh client from your desktop machine and use the native compiler on the pi?

If you install gcc (or clang) via "aptitude install gcc" or "aptitude install clang" then you can compile and run C programs natively.

That helps me. Now I can test the defaults of both compilers.

Re: llvm/clang maths libraries

Thank you - that works fine. This information is not given by 'man clang' as far as I can see. Do you have a pointer to where this (and any other useful information about clang) is documented?

Re: llvm/clang maths libraries

Maybe true - I lifted the code from the intarwebs to avoid the "oh..it was my fault" that I usually find after detecting compiler/linker/system anomalies :oops: Changing the code to use %f in the format string does, however, not alter the fact that clang still thinks that the square root of 4 is 4. ...

binutils-gold breaks haskell (ghc)

I installed binutils-gold because of some problem with clang not being able to link C files. I tried compiling some haskell code with ghc and saw errors in the linker (specifically [email protected]:~/src/project_euler/haskell$ ghc 001.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( 001.hs, 001.o ) Linking 001 ... /usr/bin/l...

Re: Learning ARM assembly

I wrote http://www.fourtheye.org/armasm.shtml about ARM assembly on my SheevaPlug - but all the code works on a RPi. I do not know if this helps?

I looked a bit more here http://www.fourtheye.org/armstrong.shtml

Re: ARM assembler tutorial for Raspberry Pi

I wrote an introduction to assembly language programming on the sheevaplug (which uses an ARM V5TE) at http://www.fourtheye.org/armasm.shtml . All the techniques used and code works on a Raspberry Pi too.
