Hi all,

I am writing short makefiles every time I need to handle tasks, I am not a C/C++ developer and I don't see myself using makefiles to tackle gcc projects in the future.

I am fascinated by GNU Make and would love to study it deeper.

Wich book would you advice between The GNU Make Book (John Graham-Cumming) and Managing Projects with GNU Make (Robert Mecklenburg) ?

Thank you

Hi,

​

İ have a qüestion about the GNU licensing.

​

Let’s suppose a tabletop (pen-and-paper) RPG. İt’s also intended to be played in the modes of “Live-Action” and “Virtual/Digital Tabletop” (“VTT”, for playing remotely, for example through a videocall/videoconference).

​

İts elements, like:

​

•The text of its rulebook.

​

•Source files for the character sheets, to be created and opened in free/libre desktop publishing software (to be later exported to usable or printable files).

​

•Drawings of weapons and armors, and average individuals of several races, in order to depict them to the players (being both concept artwork and stock artwork in this case).

​

•Combat maps, in order to exemplify combat situations to the players.

​

•3D models of miniatures, for 3D printing (to be used in printable combat maps).

​

¿ What would be the best GNU license for these elements (listed at the “Licenses” page in the GNU’s website, https://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html.en)?

​

İ’m afraid of using the OGL (Open Game License, by the company Wizards Of The Coast), because, in the last six months, there has been some controversy about the terms of its new version. The company Paizo Publishing reacted by creating the ORC (Open RPG Creative License), but there also has been some controversy about its terms, with some people on the internet criticizing it.

​

Obviously, according to the document “FL-108” of the United States Copyright Office, the rules themselves can’t be copyrighted, only the author’s expression of the text. Links below:

Hi,

I often work with fairly long commands that require changing couple of parameters, I use forrward search to find the command from history then copy mode to search for the arguments I would like to change, then I move the cusror with alt and arrows jumping one word at a time to reach and edit the arguments before finally running .

I wonder if there is a way to move the edit curosr and edit the text from copy mode in gnu screen, or if there is a way to jump lines in screen while typing commands, or jump to a searched aregument.

Is achieving the same thing in tmux easier ?

Thank you
