Linux by example – Building a real compiler

I’m trying to solve all the Advent of Code puzzles in this video series.

We look into setting up an RBD pool and running an SQLite database directly against the cluster. We check what languages have built-in support and how to work with the tools available.

I write a lot of small java applications and need a good command line interpreter. Apache Common CLI helps me keep track of options and arguments. Apache have a lot of great tools in their tool chain and even if some of them are common they have a great track record of usability.

I will look into the PineTime watch and the code for the heartrate monitor. PineTime is a “smart” watch that you can be a part of building the software to. The code is pretty small and pretty easy to follow.

In this video series, I try to challenge myself with the Advent of Code trials. Each solution will be published to Github, and I hope you will learn something from my coding mistakes and perhaps send some code my way on how you have done these challenges. I know by reading code, so this is…

We are in our new Linux environment and create some more packages. tar – create file packages vim – editor with a lot of functionality procps – check and manipulate processes texinfo – text manipulation used for documentation
