+===== Eclipse =====
+For many applications, Eclipse is the best editor and IDE. See [[.:eclipse]] for more details.
 ===== C/C++ Development =====
 To get help on C functions like ''printf'', install ''manpages-dev''. Having it installed, one can issue ''man printf'' on the console to get the function's description.

 Example to disable a function call in a compiled application. Assume the binary is called ''prog'' and inside there is a call to a function that needs to be disabled. The tools required are ''objdump'', a hex editor and ''diff'' for correctness checking.
   - Disassemble the whole program: <code>$ objdump -D prog > prog.s</code>
-  - Find the function call assuming it is in ''<main>'': <code>less prog.s</code> and search for ''main'': <code>/main</code> Something like this should appear: <code>080489a4 <main>:

   - Now the code that needs to be replaced is identified, it is the byte sequence ''e8 40 0b 00 00''. Open a hex editor, and search for this sequence. It is not possible to map the addresses created by ''objdump'' to addresses in the binary file, that's why we just have to stick to do a plain search. Make sure that it is the right function call by checking that the surrounding bytes match the ones in the ''objdump'' output.
   - Now replace ''e8 40 0b 00 00'' by ''90 90 90 90 90'', the Intel command for NOP.

+===== Lotus Notes on Debian =====
+At some point in time, Debian decided to rename libcupsys to libcups, breaking Note's dependencies. To make it run with the new library, create a dummy library libcupsys2 that depends on libcups2 and creates a symlink from libcups.so.2 to libcupsys.so.2.
