How to enable the Developer Menu in Safari

February 4th, 2011 — 10:48pm

Recently I needed to get access to some of the developer tools that Safari offers. Safari does not allow easy access to them by default. In order to enable them you need to open up a Terminal window and run the following command:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

After running that command go ahead and restart Safari and you should have a menu item labeled “Develop” as seen in the screenshot below.

How to compile OpenVPN from source on the GuruPlug

February 2nd, 2011 — 7:59pm

Compiling OpenVPN from source on the GuruPlug is actually pretty simple. The GuruPlug runs a fairly standard version of Debian (Lenny/5.0).

These are the steps that need to be taken:

1. First you will need to install the compilers that allows you to build OpenVPN from source. The easiest way is to use apt-get:

apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev

2. After you have installed build-essential and libssl-dev you will need to compile lzo from source. For more info on lzo check out this link: Oberhumer LZO

cd /home
wget http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/download/lzo-2.04.tar.gz
tar xvf lzo2.04.tar.gz
cd /lzo-2.04
./configure
make
make install

3. After buiding LZO from source you can now go ahead and build OpenVPN (in this article we are building from the 2.1.4 source):

cd /home
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.net/community/releases/openvpn-2.1.4.tar.gz
tar xvfz openvpn-2.1.4.tar.gz
cd /openvpn-2.1.4
./configure
make
make install

These instructions should also work for the SheevaPlug etc.
