Has anyone ever built BZR 2.7.0 for Windows? - bazaar

In the past we used BZR 2.6b1 on Windows for many of our professional projects.
This turned out to not be a good choice, and some of our projects suffered when we encountered some bugs in BZR 2.6, which might have been specific to the Windows version, or might not. Years passed, the bugs never got fixed, and so we began to migrating to git.
However, some of our older projects are still in Bazaar, and having returned to the Bazaar website for the first time in 2.5 years, I can see there is now a 2.7.0 release, but no Windows version of it.
I can see this message on the Ubuntu mailing-list, in which somebody has mentioned their intention to build 2.7.0 for Windows, but the mailing-list thread ends without a conclusion.
So the question is, short of compiling it myself, has anyone ever created a Windows version of 2.7.0, as an installer or archive of compiled binaries, and is it still available?

There are no Windows installers for Bazaar 2.7 as far as I know. We're likely to build installers for Breezy (a friendly fork of Bazaar that is active) on Windows once it is ready for release, but that may take a couple of months.

Intellij Idea won't start Windows 10

I downloaded Intellij Idea and was using it just fine for a while. I don't know what happened between the time it was working and when it started to not work. When I would click the shortcut, my mouse would give me the loading wheel and then nothing would happen. In task manager, there is a task called "IntelliJ Idea" running. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice, and then installed it with the JetBrains toolbox, but this is still happening. I saw another thread about this from 4 years ago, but none of the solutions worked for me.
Other thread: Intellij IDEA won't start
I thought I would post this since I recently came across a similar issue with IntelliJ IDE Community Edition but for MacOS and it seems like the same issue could potentially happen on Windows.
I was using the JetBrains Toolbox to manage the installations and updates and after a recent update, when trying to start the app it would simply attempt to start and get killed straight away. After not having much luck with the logs I eventually found the exception that was being thrown when it attempted to start:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/intellij/util/lang/PathClassLoader has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0
So from this I realized that the app was trying to run with an older version of Java and I found how to change it in this post. In my case the 'idea.jdk' file was located in '/Users/user/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IdeaIC2021.2' and for some reason was not updated after the application update.

Adding pcl::on_nurbs to PCL 1.7.1 and ROS

I have a ROS Indigo on a 64bit Kubuntu 14.04. Currently I'm facing a big issue - the missing module on_nurbs. I need it for the generation of meshes from point clouds.
My biggest problem here is the way ROS is hooked to PCL. Even though PCL is now more or less officially an external dependency the way ROS handles the situation is...Well, not very nice. I've experienced similar (maybe even the same - can't remember) issues with OpenCV - yet another dependency that was decided to be made completely external - when I decided to build it from source in order to add support Qt, OpenGL etc, which are not in the upstream packages of the library in the Ubuntu repositories. There is this thing ROS perception, which is supposed to add the glue between ROS and PCL.
The problem: Adding NURBS (part of the surface module)
What I have done so far:
I have
downloaded and built PCL 1.7.1 (the same version as the one shipped with Ubuntu 14.04 and ROS) with NURBS enabled
(1) installed PCL from source - ROS' PCL support broke
(2) replaced only the surface library (also added all the includes etc. dependencies for it and nurbs from my build) - ROS' PCL support broke
Currently I'm struggling to find out how to manually force CMake (and thus also catkin_make) to use my own version (not installed, only built). But I fear this will again interfere with ROS.
What is your advice for me in this situation? How can I proceed without yet again breaking my ROS installation? I would really like to learn how to add such missing bits and pieces - as mentioned above - I have already faced this issue once, now this and it will probably happen again.
PS for those who say "This is a ROS issue": I've already posted on ROS answers a week ago but there is still no reply and the views indicator of 11 (became so shortly after posting there - a week ago) is discouraging to say the least. The chances of any development there a week after posting the question are slim to none. I have been struggling with this issue for more then 2 weeks now...

MONO 3.2 for Windows / Linux - Missing?

Looking for a download to MONO Runtime 3.2 but I just can find this for Mac.
See HERE
Are there no releases for Linux/Windows ?
Are there no releases for Linux?
The tarball is all you need to use/install Mono in Linux.
If what you want is that your favourite distro imports this version of Mono into its packaging system (e.g.: apt-get), then you would need to ask in the forums, mailing lists or other online resources about that distro.
Are there no releases for Windows?
First, I will ask you another question, are you sure do you really need Mono for Windows? For most use cases, Windows already bundles .NET into the last versions. Furthermore, Mono for Windows is not a top priority platform for the Mono team and may lack features or have worse performance than on Linux/Mac. Therefore Mono for windows is only really useful for certain uncommon scenarios.
If you're really interested in those uncommon use cases, then keep bugging Mono maintainers in their forums, mailing lists or IRC, to remind them to package it (it's not really a priority anymore since this platform is not something they target with their commercial offerings).
UPDATE: A Xamarin employee stated that the installer would be available when version 3.2.3 is released, and they complied with their promise because 3.2.3 has been released and the windows installer is available in the download page.

Simple.Data can be safely used in mono today?

Some questions about Simple.Data and Mono:
Can I safely choose Simple.Data for a new project using Mono today?
There is the intention to maintain Mono compatibility in future versions?
The features are the same as the version for Windows?
Some testimony from someone who has already used in Mono?
Many thanks!
There will be a new official Mono build soon as part of the RC process. For now you should be able to clone the GitHub repo (http://github.com/markrendle/Simple.Data) and build the latest version.
Mono support is a requirement of the project, and will continue in all future versions.
Everything that works on Windows and MS.NET should work on Mono on OSX and Linux. If you find that something does not work, that is a bug and should be reported at http://github.com/markrendle/Simple.Data/Issues .
I have not personally got any projects using Simple.Data on Mono, so I can't offer a real testimony, but there are ~700 tests which all pass using Mono 2.10 on Mac OSX against a SQL Server DB.

Multiple Xcode Installation

After a fresh install of Lion and Xcode 4.1 from the Mac App Store, I would like to install another version of Xcode alongside.
I heard that this perfectly safe to install it in another directory (considering the first to be on /Developer). The only thing to remember is that running xcodebuild would result in launching the last one installed.
But I have another issue while installing it, even f I changed the directory it clearly says that it will upgrade Xcode Toolset, System Tools and UNIX Development and that they can only be located is /Developer and for one installation per system, here is a screenshot :
So how to have another clean instance of Xcode and SDKs without screwing up the production one ?
Thanks a lot.
It doesn't seem to be possible to install the System Tools on both versions. I've never had success with that.
One thing to note, if you install an older version of xCode side-by-side with the latest version, the "Build Archive" function in the Organizer will not function. The only remedy I found was to remove both xCodes and reinstall the one I wanted to use for building the archive. It was a painful process.
Actually you can do this (or at least I seem to be able to). At times I have had three separate instances of XCode installed - an older XCode 3.x (which I've subsequently gotten rid of), an XCode 4 production, an XCode 5 beta; all in separate directories.
The key thing for me was calling the command line tool to tell which system is the "primary" xcode for the purposes of running xcodebuild, instruments, agvtool and a bunch of others: xcode-select -switch /Developer (just man xcode-select ftw).
So, I have a 4.0.2 build as primary now, and keep upgrading the iOS5 betas. I try them out, but when I want to cut a production build using 4.0.2, I ensure that my system knows that /Developer is current, switching it if I need to. FWIW, there is risk that the single-set-of-System-tools could be broken when you replace them with the latest set, but that's (so far) never hit me.
Also, for reference there is another discussion along similar lines here: Install xCode 3.2.3 w/ iPhone SDK 4, get "Base SDK missing", can't see other SDKs
