installing an Ocaml hump library on mutualized server - csv

I am trying to use the Ocaml csv library. I downloaded csv-1.2.3 and followed the installation instructions after installing findlib:
Uncompress the source archive and go to the root of the package,
Run 'ocaml setup.ml -configure',
Run 'ocaml setup.ml -build',
Run 'ocaml setup.ml -install'
Now I have META, csv.a, csv.cma, csv.cmi, csv.cmx, csv.cmxa, csv.mli files in ~/opt/lib/ocaml/site-lib/csv repertory. The shell command ocamlfind list -describe gives csv A pure OCaml library to read and write CSV files. (version: 1.2.3) which I believe means that csv is installed properly.
BUT when I add
let data = Csv.load "foo.csv" in
in my compute.ml module and try to compile it within the larger program package I have the compilation error :
File "_none_", line 1, characters 0-1:
Error: No implementations provided for the following modules:
Csv referenced from compute.cmx"
and if I simply type
let data = load "foo.csv" in
i get :
File "compute.ml", line 74, characters 13-17:
Error: Unbound value load
I have the same type of errors when I use Csv.load or load directly in the Ocaml terminal. Would somebody have an idea of what is wrong in my code or library installation?

My guess is that you're using ocamlfind for compilation (ocamlfind ocamlc -package csv ...), because you have a linking error, not a type-checking one (which would be the case if you had not specified at all where csv is). The solution may be, in this case, to add a -linkall option to the final compilation line producing an executable, to ask it to link csv.cmx with it. Otherwise, please try to use ocamlfind and yes, tell us what your compilation command is.
For the toplevel, it is very easy to use ocamlfind from it. Watch this toplevel interaction:
% ocaml
Objective Caml version 3.12.1
# #use "topfind";;
- : unit = ()
Findlib has been successfully loaded. Additional directives:
#require "package";; to load a package
#list;; to list the available packages
#camlp4o;; to load camlp4 (standard syntax)
#camlp4r;; to load camlp4 (revised syntax)
#predicates "p,q,...";; to set these predicates
Topfind.reset();; to force that packages will be reloaded
#thread;; to enable threads
- : unit = ()
# #require "csv";;
/usr/lib/ocaml/csv: added to search path
/usr/lib/ocaml/csv/csv.cma: loaded
# Csv.load;;
- : ?separator:char -> ?excel_tricks:bool -> string -> Csv.t = <fun>
To be explicit. What I typed once in the toplevel was:
#use "topfind";;
#require "csv";;
Csv.load;; (* or anything else that uses Csv *)

Cython and Exec()?

If I made a python file named hello.py that has a script made like this.
msg = input("insert your message here: ")
script = '''
def say_something():
print("{msg}")
'''
exec(script)
say_something()
And then I tried to use Cython
from distutils.core import setup
from Cython.Build import cythonize
setup(
ext_modules=cythonize("Hello.py")
)
It will show an error like this: undeclared name not builtin: say_something
I do understand why this happens but I'm not really an expert with python and C just yet. This is just an example, but it's similar to what I'm trying to do with one of my projects. Is there any way I could resolve this? I want to find a way to convert the script string into C as well.
I was trying to build an editable python script.
Cython compiles the Python functions to a native binary that does what the CPython interpreter should do. exec is a function that execute arbitrary code at runtime (which is generally a very bad idea for speed, maintainability/readability and security). Cython does not support exec because it would mean that the could would be compiled at runtime. Thus, the code executed by exec cannot be a Cython code. However, the exec function can still be used to execute a pure-Python code. The error can be removed by turning off the Cython.Compiler.Options.error_on_unknown_names in the setup script (just before calling setup) as pointed out by #DavidW. With this Cython will not complain when it does not find a function defined by exec (or similar methods). Please keep in mind that CPython can only be used in this case instead of Cython (which partially defeat the purpose of using Cython in the first place).

Cython: calling C function throws 'undefined symbol'

I am attempting to use the LMDB C API with Cython.
I want to import the following definitions from the header file:
typedef struct MDB_env MDB_env;
int mdb_env_create(MDB_env **env);
So I created a .pxd file:
cdef extern from 'lmdb.h':
struct MDB_env:
pass
int mdb_env_create(MDB_env **env)
And I am using it in a Cython script:
cdef MDB_env *e
x = mdb_env_create(&e)
This code compiles fine, but If I run it, I get:
ImportError: /home/me/.cache/ipython/cython/_cython_magic_15705c11c6f56670efe6282cbabe4abc.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: mdb_env_create
This happens both in a Cython .pyx + .pxd setup and in a prototype typed in IPython.
If I import another symbol, say a constant, I can access it. So I seem to be looking at the right header file.
I don't see any discrepancy between my syntax and the documentation, but I am clearly doing something wrong. Can somebody give me a hint?
Thanks.
To compile it with IPythons-magic (would be nice if you would mention this explicitly in your question) you have to provide library-path (via -L-option) and library name (via -l-option) of the built c-library you want to wrap, see also the documentation:
%%cython -L=<path to your library> -l=<your_library>
The library you are trying to wrap is not a header-only library. That means that some symbols (e.g. mdb_env_create) are only declared but not defined in the header. When you build the library, the definitions of those symbols can be found in the resulting artifact, which should be provided to the linker when your extension is built. These definitions is what is needed when the program runs.
If you don't do it, the following happens on Linux: When the extension (the *.so-file) is built,the linker allows undefined symbols per default - so this step is "successful" - but the failure is only postponed. When the extension is loaded via import, Python loads the corresponding *.so with help of ldopen and in this step loader checks that the definitions of all symbols are known. But we didn't provide a definition of mdb_env_create so, the loader fails with
undefined symbol: mdb_env_create
It is differently for symbols which are defined in the header-file, for example enums MDB_FIRST&Co - the compiled library isn't necessary and thus the extension can be loaded, as there are no undefined symbols.

How to pass options to UglifyJS through html-minifier on Windows command line?

HTMLMinifier (html-minifier) (3.5.14) for Node.js (v8.11.1), installed with npm install html-minifier -g, can be run via command line (Windows CMD), e.g. html-minifier --help produces the usage info (excerpts):
Usage: html-minifier [options] [files...]
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
...
--minify-js [value] Minify Javascript in script elements and on* attributes (uses uglify-js)
...
-c --config-file <file> Use config file
--input-dir <dir> Specify an input directory
--output-dir <dir> Specify an output directory
--file-ext <text> Specify an extension to be read, ex: html
-h, --help output usage information
The option --minify-js [value] relies on UglifyJS to "compress" the JavaScript embedded inside the HTML file(s) passed to html-minifier. UglifyJS can remove console.log() function calls (Can uglify-js remove the console.log statements?) from the JavaScript, by enabling the drop_console option (also see pure_funcs).
But --minify-js drop_console=true does not have an effect, nor does something like "uglify:{options:{compress:{drop_console:true}}}" or "compress:{pure_funcs:['console.log']}".
How can such an option be set, ideally via the html-minifier command line (alternatively by config-file, though it just sets "minifyJS": true)?
I was very close.
I started digging through the code (installed in %appdata%\npm\node_modules\html-minifier) to see what happens with the options provided, i.e. adding debug output with console.log(xyz); (using an actual debugger probably would be a better idea).
So, here's my "trace":
option: https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier/blob/gh-pages/cli.js#L118
option handling: https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier/blob/gh-pages/cli.js#L144
argument parsing using [commander][2]
createOptions() https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier/blob/gh-pages/cli.js#L197
options then contains e.g. minifyJS: 'compress:{pure_funcs:[\'console.log\']}',
passed on to minify() https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier/blob/gh-pages/src/htmlminifier.js#L806 which immediately runs
processOptions() https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier/blob/gh-pages/src/htmlminifier.js#L616
where finally in line https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier/blob/gh-pages/src/htmlminifier.js#L667 options.minifyJS is handled, before it's run as var result = UglifyJS.minify(code, minifyJS); in https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier/blob/gh-pages/src/htmlminifier.js#L680.
But there our option string compress:{pure_funcs:['console.log']} gets cleaned because it's not yet an object, resulting in {}.
Or, in a different trial with a different string you may encounter the error Could not parse JSON value '{compress:{pure_funcs:'console.log']}}'
At least it gets that far! But why doesn't it work?
First, it's a good time to revisit the JSON spec: https://www.json.org/index.html
Second, see if the string could be parsed as valid JSON, e.g. with the JSON.parse() demo at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/parse
Third, figure out how to get that string through the CMD as argument (escaping the double quotes).
Finally, make sure the data structure to configure UgliFyJS is correct. That's quite easy, since it's documented: https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2#minify-options-structure
And behold, simply escaping the double quotes with a backslash works for me:
html-minfier ... --minify-js {\"compress\":{\"pure_funcs\":[\"console.log\"]}} ...
and it properly shows up in the options as
...
{ compress:
{ pure_funcs: [ 'console.log' ],
...
For ex. curl can read config from a file, like proxies, etc...
Many programs do so. git, maven, gradle.... No matter how and where you call them, they look for the config you or the system provides: first from the current directory, then from the user home and then the system /etc/...
If no batteries included with these node packages, they can only be used on separate html and js files.

HTML 5 - GRUNT BUILD : Fatal error: Object has no method 'compact'

I'm trying to build a project with GRUNT. it throws the following error,
Running "cuff:dev" (cuff) task
>> Building src/pages/home
Fatal error: Object home.less has no method 'compact'
src/pages/home/ -> home.less file,
section#home {
}
I didn't have any method in home.less. What i did wrong?. I can't understand the meaning of this error.
the info you provided is too less, my guess is dev target of cuff task has nested tasks probably something related to home task taking less as target, but grunt is not able to load less target. ( probably not defined at all or part of a grunt plugin you forgot to load )
That kind of errors are thrown when you call a target/task but grunt can not find/load it.
use grunt --help to load all available commands in your context ( commands from plugins are not shown by this command)

fatal error:y.tab.h: No such file or directory on fedora

I am running my fedora on VMware Workstation. I am having a lex and yacc program. Compilation of program is working fine but when i go to run the program through gcc y.tab.c lex.yy.c -ll it gives fatal error: y.tab.h: No such file or directory.

Please give some suggestions.

This is likely to be a problem with exactly which commands you use to invoke Yacc, Lex and GCC, and not with the input files that you included here.
Yacc (which probably really is a program called Bison even if you use the command yacc) generates two files: A parser (y.tab.c) and another file (y.tab.h) with definitions that the scanner needs. The problem here is that GCC cannot find that file, y.tab.h.
Check these things:
That the file actually is generated. You may have to give the flag -d to Bison/Yacc.
That the file is called y.tab.h. The name can be different depending on program versions, and if you start Bison with the command bison or with the command yacc.
That the file is in a directory where GCC can find it.
If you are using flex windows(lex and yacc) on windows and facing this error then fillow the given steps:
In lex file on first line add this line:
%option noyywrap
compile the lex file
compile the yacc file
then compile and build the yacc file
select the option "open with cmd"
Enter the commond:
filename.exe
please note that lex file name and yacc file name should be same only they differ in their extensions
In lex file change "y.tab.h" to which your bison generate the blahblah.tab.h
and run according enter image description here
