ios-cmake toolchain now supports Xcode 4.2 and below on OSX Lion

Just pushed a quick update to the ios-cmake toolchain project:

Now the iOS.cmake toolchain will search for all versions of Xcode: both 4.3 and older. It will choose the most recent unless manually set with CMAKE_IOS_DEVELOPER_ROOT. So users may run this toolchain with an older Xcode while on OSX Lion.

Fresh updates for Xcode 4.3 to ios-cmake

Just a quick note that we updated our ios-cmake project on google code to reflect changes in Xcode 4.3, mainly to deal with the new pathing apple switched to. (No more /Developer directory). http://code.google.com/p/ios-cmake

Opening the latest Xcode projects also requires a cmake patch, at least until 2.8.8 comes out. You can grab that here: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/10640

New ios-cmake google code project

One of our most popular code requests is a look at how we build toadlet for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPodtouch) using cmake. While we currently have a solution posted in the toadlet source prerelease on google code (http://code.google.com/p/toadlet), it is non optimal and has been replaced in the current toadet tree. Which is not yet on google code. Because we are swamped with work right now.

Functional CMake iOS toolchain file!

NOTE: This toolchain file has been superseded by our own ios-cmake project. Check here for details: http://www.ltengsoft.com/node/21

After almost a solid day of work, we've managed to put together a new CMake toolchain file for iOS 4.3 that builds toadlet for either iOS Devices or any of the iPhone/iPad Simulators, all from the same project.

ltdev3 back up

Our private mercurial repository server is back online. We've got a fresh look for the interface, and now provide RSS/Atom feeds for each of the projects. Thanks to Mercurial's slick hgweb scripts, uwsgi, and of course the mighty NGINX websever!

ImageMagick Shoutout

Just finished wrapping up the html help documentation for Quarq Technology's new Qalvin application. When I had to change a whole pile of image sizes and colorspaces for better formatting, the ImageMagick tool proved to be a godsend.

A shot each of "mogrify -resize" and "mogrify -colors" later, my entire document is up to date. I love the command line; thanks ImageMagick! http://www.imagemagick.org

LTengsoft.com and Lightningtoads.com updated to Drupal 7

After over 1/2 a days worth of work, we've updated both of our sites to use Drupal 7. Overall the process was pretty painless thanks to the detailed upgrade guides on http://drupal.org. Only some minor theme tweaks were needed.

However there are almost always lose ends after a major event like this. If you see anything out of wack, please contact us right away or just tweet it on over. We appreciate any feedback!

Tahoe + CMake = Win

So we finally have a functional build of the tahoe open source FEA package that builds entirely from CMake! This allows you to setup Tahoe's optional packages and material models all from within the CMake interface.

Using CMake also makes it super easy to search for system packages like expat and any form of MPI library. Only a couple of custom Find scripts (for netcdf and exodusII) needed to be written.

New Cyberpower UPS is up and running

Lets see if it beats the old APC's 11 years.

Mixing CVS and Hg for tahoe

Just ran across this handy article from mozilla about working with a CVS repository while using mercurial on your own end: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Using_Mercurial_locally_with_CVS
