Ironically, in the last 13 years, no one has ever asked me any real "computer science 101" questions. As a result, I've become incredibly bad at answering them, and I don't often construct my own linked lists or binary trees when programming in C# or VB.NET, so I feel really rusty in these areas. I while ago, I picked up a book called "Programming Interviews Exposed" published by Wiley & Sons. It's crammed with exactly that kind of question, along with logic puzzles, etc., that might be asked during a programming interview.

Hi All,
Currently I'm working on generation of makefile scripts.
I have a lot of problems here since the make utility I use is from Cygwin package.
This means that it recognizes only the paths in UNIX encoding, all of those \ to / and other stuff with spaces allowed in Win.
To avoid problems I have to double all my makefile vars with the followed method:
Example:
SOME_PATH = C:\My Path\
SOME_PATH_UNIX = C:/My\ Path
SOME_PATH_UNIX/target : SOME_PATH_UNIX/prerequisite
sometool "SOME_PATH\prerequisite"
In other words I have to use UNIX path encoding for specifing targets and prerequisites and Windows path encoding for commands. That sux.
So my question is: Have anybody ever heard about FREE make utility for Windows with native Windows path encoding? It seems I cannot find it over Inet. I mean so FREE so I can redistribute it.
I would appreciate for any help

You could either download and install cygwin[^], a Win32 port of UNIX posix libraries and utilities (including build tools like make, or download and install the Microsoft Platform SDK[^], which includes build tools like nmake (basically the same as make).

Thank you for reply, but unfortunately these utilities are not redistributable.
|

nmake from the PSDK might not be, but make from cygwin is. In fact, I see a lot of applications that distribute the cygwin1.dll, other optional DLLs, and utilities to run *nix applications that have been recompiled against cygwin to run on Win32.

I have contacted with Red Hat sales manager about redistribution of Cygwin components. Here is the answer:
"Red Hat owns the copyright on the Cygwin dll and
as such makes the code freely available under the
licensing terms of the GPL. If the application
you are distributing is open source, you are fine.
If you want to distribute a prorietary application
you must purchase a Commercial License from us. We
offer a 3 year unlimited buyout for $50,000..."

This is not my case in fact, because my application is commercial and close source.
So these guys that use Cygwin in close source manner may have troubles with the law.

Some time ago there was a free MAKE source from somewhere like Lattice, the people that produced C compilers (I said it was a while ago). It was more UNIX oriented, although it was source code and #ifdef'd for MS-DOS. Shouldn't take too much conversion.
it's at this location[^] as NMAKE.ZIP

I'm not qualified. But it wouldn't be surprising for a person to have a wide range of skill - if the person has like ten years of experience in IT. But, I don't think anyone can be an expert in everything. I mean, I don't remember a lot of the stuff I did two years ago.
But recruiters are becoming... unreasonable these days

do we have any engineering programmers out there?
i've been programming in vc++ for the past 2 years. by qualification, i am a mech engineer. i find programming (in vc++ and vc .net) very interesting and challenging. it seems like a shame that i am ditching my engineering background for IT.
can anyone think of any jobs that involve hardcore mech engineering and programming? ideally, i would like to do both. does this job exist?

Hey ** a warm hello from another Mechanical Engineer **
I "was" a mechanical engineer by qualification, and by experience. I started programming a couple of years ago - MFC/WIN32/ATL-COM stuff. I first started freelancing work, then what I do now have nothing to do with Mechanical Engineering.
But, if you really wish to establish a career at the intersection between MECH and IT... Why don't you apply to companies like AutoDesk, Unigraphics, Pro-Engineer... Or if you're interested in instrumentation, Texas Instruments or National Instruments?

hey norman, thanks for the tip !
i will certainly give it a go. although i suspect i might have to relocate overseas eventually. brisbane(australia) is just not exactly a booming IT capital.
in addition, i might give bio-medical engineering sector a try.
by the way, did u ever sort out the USB flash memory autorun challenge?
cheers,

Yes, if you're not American it'd be hard to get in to companies like National Instruments or Texas Instruments. But I know AutoDesk have development offices around the world... I think they have development in Singapore, but not so sure about Australia.
Good luck.

Just want to add... there're a lot of cool things that lie in the intersection between mechanical engineering and software development. Most of the exciting development will lie in the "algorithm" and "research" part of the project cycle. For instance, we've had CAD/CAM, FEA (Finite Element Analysis) , CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) system around for a long time. But things are moving ahead. It's not a stagnant field. Example: Interaction with deformable 3D solid models in REALTIME with Data Gloves (Still in R&D phase last time I read about it in publication from UBC two years ago). How about reconstruction of 3D models from digital photos? This is possible by extending current image segmentation techonologies (edge detection, object recognition) and lotsa old school matrix algebra. But, it's already in mass production phase - Last time I saw in trade show a couple of years back. German manufacturer I think - they have cutting edge engineers - people who make their country proud.
These are the stuff that the majority of us aren't doing. These are closed source advantage. These are the stuff that hasn't been devalued by Chinese/Indian competition, yet. But there're a lot of potential in these area - probably much more than trying to optimize area like processor scheduling. Web Dev is dead. Not that the technology is dead, quite the opposite indeed. But if you're looking at decreasing profit margin. On the other hand, things like network optimization seems to be much easier problems... easier to tackle, and faster to see real result (well, faster to see the end of the improvement too). I worked on a project with N??tel before. They were considering integrating financial metrics into their network management systems. That's perfectly doable - but it's easy to get duplicated at the same time.
Enough babbling, time for me get back to work. Don't forget to let me know if you run into anything profitable and requires my assistance

A few questions first:
What is the project?
How much does it pay?
Can I work remotely?
How much time will it require?
My qualifications:
Am a physicist
Have worked for a CAD company
Can program in C++

It’s for the upgrade development of our cad cam software, the location could be any where and the salary will be based on C++, CAD-CAM, and Tool path programming skills. This would be a full time job. We currently have two full time programmers and want to expand. If you would like to send me resume with a number to reach you at, I can discuss this in more detail. jwpexe@netscape.net
Thanks Jared

IMHO you in the wrong forum... 
If only I knew calc & geom I may have responded differently...

Sorry if I put this in the wrong forum, any suggestion on where this thread should be?
Thanks Jared

http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=3304#xxxx[^] would be a start.
www.programmersheaven.com[^] also has a forum where you can offer jobs to freelancers.
Codeproject is quite unique in this way. I advertise PHP/MySQL web application and C++/MFC desktop application development at various web sites (including programmersheaven) but would not suggest doing it here unless your in the right forum. CP has a very faithful user base and you will get flak if you try and advertise for free or do not post in the right forum.
Anyways, CP is the right place to start (you'll find some of the best programmers on the planet here IHMO) just make sure you use the forum I linked to above.

Ermm... I may be going blind in my old age, but I'm sure that this thread is in the forum you suggested.
