Comment on Replacing ls in OS X by Dom

Thanks. This was just what I needed.

However, for OS X 10.5, I needed this hack to work around a linker error:

./configure jm_cv_func_svid_putenv=yes

A known issue described here:

Right - I’m familiar with -G but this is just the BSD-style ls, which doesn’t support things like custom coloring per extension, etc. I wanted a little more out of the color options, so decided to compile the GNU version.

Noooooooo!

ls in OSX has supported color since 10.3 - you need to use the -G option (not –color).

Yeah, the firefox profiles thing isn’t as nice anymore. What I usually do is set up laucher icons with the -no-remote option:
firefox -p profile1 -no-remote
and:
firefox -p profile2 -no-remote

That way I can launch the fox with different profiles without resorting to the command line. It gets a little weird when another application tries to open a site- it usually gets handled by the firefox session I used most recently.

Oh, and here’s mine:

~$ history 1000 | awk ‘{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’ | sort -rn | head
72 ls
69 sudo
39 cd
33 exit
28 iptables
26 vi
19 xrandr
15 make
14 dmesg
12 f-spot

Thanks biphenyl.

Got these in Tampere, Finland - anyone in the city, email me at taza_insane @ webmail provider acquired by microsoft in 1997.com if you want some. Know how to get larger prints (at 20euro/50), chipping in to the printing costs would be appriciated but not required.

I’m personally too easily distinguishable thanks to a habit of subverting people’s assumptions to spread (much) of them around the city - tho these are high-quality paper and glue, unlikely to stick or break, and thus easy to clean.
