Try

    cd $(TargetDir)
    del *.tif

As jvenema pointed out, your $(TargetDir) is expanding into a path containing spaces in the folder names which is breaking the delete command.

I ended up using `rd /s /q &quot;$(TargetDir)&quot;` to clean out the directory. As far as I know it is working.

You have to write `del &quot;$(TargetDir)*.tif&quot;` because of spaces in directory path.

Old question but a couple of things:
    
    del &quot;$(TargetDir)*.tif&quot; /q

1) /q is for quiet. Otherwise, del cmd prompts &quot;...  Are you sure (Y/N)?&quot; which the build does not like.

2) As many have pointed out, &quot;&quot; around the targetDir for possible space in the target directory.

I’m aware of the tutorial at boost.org addressing this: 
[Boost.org Signals Tutorial][1], but the examples are not complete and somewhat over simplified.  The examples there don’t show the include files and some sections of the code are a little vague.
  
**Here is what I need:**  
ClassA raises multiple events/signals  
ClassB subscribes to those events (Multiple classes may subscribe)  
  
In my project I have a lower-level message handler class that raises events to a business class that does some processing of those messages and notifies the UI (wxFrames). I need to know how these all might get wired up (what order, who calls who, etc).

When I create and compile a &quot;Hello, World!&quot; application in C#, I get three files in the Debug folder apart from the main exe (e.g. HelloWorld.exe)

1. HelloWorld.vshost.exe
2. HelloWorld.pdb
3. HelloWorld.vshost.exe.manifest

What purpose do these files serve?

I cannot get rid of this in my VS 2008 web project when debugging.  I&#39;ve checked that it&#39;s in debug mode on the non-web project in question and it&#39;s in Active(Debug).  Deleted all items in my .NET 2.0 temp folder in Windows.  Not sure what else to do here.

How to I extract a subdirectory in a tarball into the current directory?

Example, the tarball from [wordpress][1]:

    wordpress/
    wordpress/wp-trackback.php
    wordpress/wp-config-sample.php
    wordpress/wp-settings.php
    wordpress/wp-rss2.php
    wordpress/readme.html
    wordpress/index.php
    ...

How do I extract everything under `wordpress/` into the current directory?  In otherwords, it will not create a `wordpress` directory.


I&#39;ve tried this with no luck:

    tar xvfz latest.tar.gz wordpress -C ./

I know I can extract it normally and move it back, but I figure there has to be a way to do it in one shot.

I would like my Maven builds to run most unit tests. But there are unit tests in one project which are slower and I&#39;d like to generally exclude them; and occasionally turn them on. 

**Question**: How do I do this?

I know about `-Dmaven.test.skip=true`, but that turns off all unit tests.

I also know about skipping integration tests, described [here][1]. But I do not have integration tests, just unit tests, and I don&#39;t have any explicit calls to the  maven-surefire-plugin. (I am using Maven 2 with the Eclipse-Maven plugin).

The only real use of the `--whole-archive` linker option that I have seen is in creating shared libraries from static ones. Recently I came across Makefile(s) which always use this option when linking with in house static libraries. This of course causes the executables to unnecessarily pull in unreferenced object code. My reaction to this was that this is plain wrong, am I missing something here ? 

The second question I have has to do with something I read regarding the whole-archive option but couldn&#39;t quite parse. Something to the effect that  `--whole-archive` option should be used while linking with a static library if the executable also links with a shared library which in turn has (in part) the same object code as the static library. That is the shared library and the static library have overlap in terms of object code. Using this option would force all symbols(regardless of use) to be resolved in the executable. This is supposed to avoid object code duplication. This is confusing, if a symbol is refereed in the program it must be resolved uniquely at link time, what is this business about duplication ? (Forgive me if this paragraph is not quite the epitome of clarity)

Thanks 

ld linker question: the --whole-archive option

Colleagues have been touting the wonders of maven and its magical dependency stuff but I&#39;m finding that it fails at what I would consider the obvious use.

Suppose I have a root folder with a master POM.

Then underneath I have some projects, call them A and B

B requires A and so the POM in the B folder has the appropriate dependency entry in it


Now, back in the root folder, in a profile, I specify that I want to build B.

When I perform the usual    mvn clean install, I get a failure because A was not built.

My friends tell me I have to specify both A and B in that main profile in the root. 

But isn&#39;t the whole point of dependency management that maven sees B, goes to the B POM file where it sees the dependency on A and so it should go build A automatically.





Maven and dependent modules

There is a lot of talk on the internet about how Maven is bad. I have been using some features of Maven for a few years now and the most important benefit in my view is the dependency management. 

Maven documentation is less than adequate, but generally when I need to accomplish something I figure it out once and then it works (for example when I implemented signing the jars). I don&#39;t think that Maven is great, but it does solve some problems that without it would be a genuine pain.

So, why does Maven have such a bad rep and what problems with Maven can I expect in the future? Maybe there are much better alternatives that I don&#39;t know about? (For example, I never looked at Ivy in detail.)

NOTE:  This is not an attempt to cause an argument.  It is an attempt to clear the FUD.


Why does Maven have such a bad rep?

In Xcode, I know that you can get variables such as `PROJECT_DIR` to use in some situations, such as a run script build phase. I am wondering if it&#39;s possible to get the build type (i.e., *Release* or *Debug*). Any ideas?

I have a solution in Visual Studio which contains several projects. I&#39;d like to run a command at the very beginning of every build - no matter which projects are involved and whether or not they are up-to-date.

Essentially I need something similar to a solution-wide pre-build event, but unfortunately VS does not appear to support these. Does anyone know an alternative way of achieving what I need?
