How do you setup a programming language and run it?

IDE

Examples

Qt Creator

Compiler/Linker

You take your .cxx and your .hxx files (.c/.h or .cpp/.hpp/.h) and build them to .o files aka object files. Then all the object files get linked together into an executable.

US License Plate ALPR ANPR, datasets, training, OCR research, 2025

Motivation

ALPR and ANPR

Automatic License Plate Recognition

Automatic Number Plate Recognition

I wanted to build out a mobile ALPR app without paying a subscription cloud fee to someone. I dug in and found that it is a pretty layered problem, especially with the constraints I had given myself.

GittyUp - git gui for Linux, run in WSL

SourceTree and VSCode were giving me issues with browsing my git repo without marking all my files as "changed".

This looks like it is caused by having my code in WSL in Ubuntu instead of the code in Windows. Maybe there is some other feature that is off, but for now I am pushing back towards open source awesomeness.

GittyUp in WSL

A fork of GitAhead, it is Qt based and pretty easy to install with flatpack.

As far as X11 support or a display for WSL2, Windows 11 ships with Wayland in place.

Git permission downloads

If you clone a git repo into /mnt/c, then you will get 777 permissions on everything.

SourceTree access to a folder under WSL

SourceTree will complain with:
