Installing Heimdall on macOS Monterey: A Troubleshooting Guide

Background

Heimdall is a cross-platform, open-source tool used for flashing firmware onto Samsung devices. While attempting to install Heimdall Suite 1.4.0 on a MacBook Pro running macOS Monterey (12.7.6), I encountered an installation failure. The official package tried to install files into the system volume, which is protected by macOS’s System Integrity Protection (SIP), resulting in the error: "The package is attempting to install content to the system volume."

Challenges

• SIP-Related Failure: The official Heimdall Suite 1.4.0 package (released in 2014) attempted to install files into SIP-protected directories like /System/Library/Extensions and /usr/bin. SIP, introduced in macOS El Capitan (2015), blocks such modifications, causing the installation to fail.
• Invalid Package Path Error: When I switched to an unofficial signed version (1.4.1), I initially encountered an "invalid package path" error. This happened be

Comparison of Scilab-MinGW C/C++ Integration Methods

This Gist compares five different approaches demonstrated in various GitHub repositories for integrating C/C++ code with Scilab on Windows using the MinGW-w64 GCC compiler toolchain. The goal is to understand the trade-offs and identify potentially clean, concise, and canonical methods.

Repositories Analyzed:

1. Foadsf/scilab-c-cpp-mingw-example
2. Foadsf/scilab-mingw-c-gateway-mwe
3. Foadsf/minimal-scilab-c-gateway
4. Foadsf/scilab-mingw-module (Note: URL points to my_foo6, seems related)

Scilab-C Integration Methods Comparison (MinGW/MSYS2 on Windows)

This document compares four different approaches for integrating C code with Scilab on Windows using the MinGW-w64 GCC compiler from MSYS2. Each approach offers different trade-offs in terms of complexity, flexibility, and maintainability.

Overview of the Four Approaches

1. minimal-scilab-c-gateway: A minimalistic example of a Scilab C gateway using the modern API.
2. scilab-mingw-c-gateway-mwe: A Minimal Working Example (MWE) for C/C++ gateways with Scilab.
3. scilab-mingw-c-call-minimal-example: Direct DLL calling using Scilab's link and call functions.
4. scilab-mingw-module (my_foo6): A more complex gateway example demonstrating multiple input/output types.

TaskJuggler 3.8.1 Lessons Learned

Introduction

TaskJuggler is a powerful project management tool that uses a text-based syntax to define project plans, resources, and tasks. While the software is mature and feature-rich, its latest version (3.8.1 as of 2024) has some quirks and compatibility issues, especially with newer Ruby versions. This document shares practical lessons learned while working with TaskJuggler 3.8.1.

Basic Project Structure

TaskJuggler 3 has a specific file structure and syntax that differs significantly from version 2. Here's the basic structure of a TaskJuggler 3 project file:
