After I converted from Windows last year I still avoided to convert my old emails. Well – this weekend the time has come. After a long hard road of try and error I came to the following conclusion:

1) Setup a new Virtual Machine with Windows XP (includes Outlook Express)
2) Install Microsoft Outlook Trial in this VM
3) Install Thunderbird in this VM

4) Open your PST files in your Outlook trial version and copy all the mails to the main PST.
5) Open Outlook Express and select “import mails from Outlook”
6) Open Thunderbird and select “import mails from Outlook Express”

7) Transfer Thunderbird’s MBOX files to Thunderbird on your Mac.
On PC the Local Folders can be found in a path like this: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Anwendungsdaten\Thunderbird\Profiles\********.default\Mail\Local Folders
On Mac it’s found in a dir like ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/********.default/Mail/Local Folders

Auch im Dezember konnte die hartgesottene Anhängerschaft des Kiesgruben-Golf nicht davon abgebracht werden, den Saisonabschluss mit einer gepflegten Runde bei nur knapp über Null Grad ausklingen zu lassen…

backup:

svnadmin dump /path/to/repo | gzip -c > myBackup.gz

restore:

svnadmin load /path/to/repo < /path/to/dumpfile.dump

after restoring, don’t forget to set the rights accordingly (forgetting that will mark you as noob):

chown -R svn:www-data /path/to/repo
chmod -R g+w /path/to/repo

This morning I encountered a strange debugging problem in Eclipse. I couldn’t set the executable in my debug configurations because the executable wasn’t recognized. Strange enough as I could perfectly execute it from command line. After a bit of try/error and internet investigation I finally found the answer. From OSX snow leopard on, gcc seems to build 64 bit executables by default. And those won’t be recognized from Eclipse in return. To solve the error, you’ve got to explicitly set your architecture to i386.

Enter your project properties and add the command line option “-arch i386” for each C++ Linker, C++ Compiler and C Compiler. After a clean build, you should be clear to debug again. In Linker options make sure to NOT set it up as -Xlinker option.
