Compiling g++ for C++0x on CentOS

CentOS 5 (I don't recall the minor version I am using) includes g++ 4.1, however you cannot do C++0x development without g++ 4.4 or higher. Here's what I did:

Dependencies

First download the dependencies gmp-5.0.2, mpfr-3.0.1, mpc-0.9, ppl-0.11.2, cloog-ppl-0.15.11 (see http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html)

gmp

./configure --enable-cxx
make
make check
sudo make install

mpfr

./configure --with-gmp=/usr/local
make
make check
sudo make install

mpc

./configure --with-gmp=/usr/local
make
make check
sudo make install

ppl

./configure --with-gmp=/usr/local
make
make check
sudo make install

Grab some coffe, food, go for a stroll, etc. during make, this one takes a while (or at least it does in a VM)

cloog-ppl

./configure --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-ppl=/usr/local
make
make check
sudo make install

gcc

Download gcc (I used gcc-4.5.3), gcc-core, and g++

Then from the PARENT directory of where you extracted gcc:

mkdir gccbuild
cd gccbuild
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
../gcc-4.5.3/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local --with-ppl=/usr/local --with-cloog=/usr/local
make -j 2
# go to sleep
make check
make install

Local WebSphere Message Broker Maintenance on Windows Domain

As a follow-up to http://craigstjean.blogspot.com/2011/03/local-websphere-message-broker-install.html, here are some maintenance tips:

After changing your domain password:

1. Change your local Windows user password to be the same
2. Open the ODBC Control Panel and update your user in the System DSN
3. Open the Broker Command Console and type:
   mqsichangebroker -i -a -p
