I use a Pixelbook for programming, and it uses Linux(Debian) (A beta version). It is however quite complicated to download certain software, and I was wondering if anyone could help. I am downloading Go, for Linux 64bit. I don't know what to write in the terminal in order to unpack it and open it. Thanks!
There is a detailed guide for ChromeOS Installation on Golang Wiki. It contains all commands you need to type in terminal.

I installed the Intel Fortran Composer XE from this link on my Debian Linux system, which includes the Intel Fortran Compiler. I installed it to opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.0.080, but now I'm not sure how to run it. I followed the instructions in this question to install the environment variables, but now I'm trying to run the IDE.
Does Intel Fortran on Linux not come with an IDE? On Windows everyone talks about integrating it with Visual Studio, so do I need to integrate it with Eclipse (somehow?), or what? Can someone point me to resources telling me about this? I don't see information anywhere, so I feel like... I'm just supposed to know and that this is a really stupid question. What is the composer if not an IDE? Is the composer different from the compiler?
You need to source two files into your environment (and possibly specify your architecture)
source /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.0.080/bin/compilervars.sh intel64
source /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.0.080/bin/compilervars_arch.sh intel64
To find out what architectures are supported run
/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.0.080/bin/compilervars.sh
without any arguments
You can create a file named /etc/profile.d/intel.sh, and insert these lines into it. after editing you should log out and log in back again, then try
which icc
which ifort
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
To see if your environment knows the correct location of everything
If you cannot edit files under /etc (no super user privileges), just add these two 'source' lines into your ~/.bashrc, then log out and log in again
Just put source compilervars.sh to jour .profile or /etc/profile.d. No need to create symlinks for everything.
As to IDE, there is no own IDE in Intel Composer. People even don't use IDE's that much on Linux, when they are used to vi, emacs, kate or whatever.
Intel Parallel Studio comes with eclipse plug-in for C++, but not for Fortran. You may use Photran as a Fortran Eclipse plugin.
In response to Part A about using ifort, you need to create a symbolic link to ifort:
ln -s path/to/ifort /usr/bin/ifort
Then you should be able to just type ifort code.f90 into your terminal and have an executable.
As to Part B about an IDE: my $0.02 is that they as a whole are a dime a dozen. I usually use a text editor or terminal (I'm a nano user). I don't know squat about Intel's IDE, but Steve Lionel has been hanging around SO lately, so he might be able to better serve you on this note.
Here's an excellent article by Intel on Using Intel® C++ Compiler with the Eclipse* IDE on Linux*. Hope this helps. I'm amazed people think they can get by with no debugger on Linux. They must be writing some very flat, mono-threaded code. Also, here's a good expose on the features of the debugger. It's about time SOMEBODY went beyond GDB and provided a reasonable debugging environment in Linux. Intel® Debugger for Linux* (IDB)
I've been fighting a whole day with UNIX utilities - so sorry if I appear confused! I'm describing my painful and (so far) fruitless process a little because maybe someone may correct me, or maybe describing the process might be helpful to someone later on. If you want to skip this, the question is bolded below.
So I'm trying to convert a Linux program developed using kdevelop. I'm trying to make it run on Windows 7. (This is the SHoUT Speech Took mentioned here, developed by Marijn Huijbregts).
I've wasted half a day trying to install kdevelop on Windows, only to understand that kdevelop can't run on Windows and that I've been installing KDE all that time :( (If kdevelop CAN run on Windows, information would be highly appreciated).
OK, so following the advice in SO's Best environment to port C/C++ code from Linux to Windows, I installed MinGW32 only to find out that SHoUT's makefile contains targets such as aclocal, autoheader etc. - I've come face to face with the hitherto unknown GNU Build System.
I'm now in the middle of installing GnuWin32 using GetGnuWin32. This is taking hours. And I suspect that once it finishes, I'll stumble on something else.
A day of pain - and still not one code line compiled :((.
So, I'm thinking about an alternative approach: Install Linux and run kdevelop as a cross-compiler to compile to Windows. As this is a console application, MAYBE it'll be easier.
So, finally, my question:
If I want to install Linux guest in VMWare Workstation (8, running on Windows 7 host), I understand I need a "distribution". I understand there's a ton of distributions, some free, some paid.
Which distribution should I choose which would run kdevelop and be as simple as possible? I just want to ##$$ing compile, and I can't stand one more day like this...

Edit:
I've tried compiling the code using VS - very tedious. Many differences between Linuix/GCC and windows/MSVC. Moreover, this is code deveoped by someone else, and I'm not even sure that the program sovles the business needs. So I've decided on the following process:
Configure Linux and run the software on Linux.
Validate that program solves business rule. If not - Abort.
Try cross oompiling on Linux. If running on Windows, verify by comparing outputs to those obtained on Linux. If good - Done.
Try compiling on Windows using ported Windows versions of the GNU Build tools. Use understanding and values obtained from building on the Linux target. If good - Done. Else
Abend and try another solution to the business problem, or try the MS tools (again using understanding and values obtained from building on the Linux target).
Many distributions are possible. Mandriva is KDE based.
But you can also install a Debian distribution, and install KDE in it.
I suggest to contact the ShOUT project community.
You should not cross-compile. MinGW can come handy but it is not required. What you need is to port the code and its dependencies to Windows, and there is nothing wrong if you use Visual Studio, for example.
I am using Ubuntu on VirtualBox OSE and through it use kdevelop and it runs seamlessly. Alternatively you can try kubuntu.
Why VirtualBox OSE - Free, Mature
It is easier to compile with MinGW on Windows than cross compile on Linux.
Build system... It could be quite easy to write Your own. Much easier than actual porting of C++ code. Could be even easier than using GNU Build System.
Please DON'T install Linux! It will take you another half a day and another questions asked here if you're doing it for the first time.
Just install VirtualBox and grab some VirtualBox image from some site. Kubuntu should be working fine with your KDE stuff: http://virtualboxes.org/images/kubuntu/
It will get you a running KDE Linux in just 5 minutes.
I have had difficulty figuring out how to use F# on Linux - I would really appreciate help.
Well, My box: Ubuntu, mono, fsharp, emacs and fsharp-mode
with fsharp-mode you have
highlighting
interactive console
emacs :-).
Also, you can try to install .net 2.0 on wine (with winetricks for example) together with sharpdevelop 2.2.
Personaly i've decided to use emacs and fsharp-mode.
UPDATE:
another option is to use regular editor such as kate in OCaml mode but it can be inconvenient due to differences between languages.
Here's a similar question with detailed answers:
How to get F# working with Mono?
Simple example of compilation command can be found at here:
http://gist.github.com/raw/144209/02f2f4450ed8261c5e4f3c18055de89ff0db9612/FebKit.fs
This question is quite old now, but this can help other people. In CodePlex there is a project called F# cross-platform packages and samples. It has some linux packages (and also for Mac). Click here for the download page.
Google for F#, and the very first entry that comes up is http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/fsharp/ - and one of the first things on that page is:
Download F# now --> Visual Studio 2010, or CTP Update for Visual Studio 2008 or standalone compiler+library ZIP, for Mono and Windows
Have you installed that, and is something not working for you?
Keke, this is a late answer, but I have a post that explains how you can install F# under Linux and Mac systems. It assumes you understand how to compile software for Linux.
Here it is: http://blog.gnucom.cc/2009/installing-f-on-ubuntu-8-04/
Let me know what you think.
I'm making a little open source mp3 player for people to see the code, etc. Proper comments, examples and what not.
I was wondering though, is the winmm.dll library found in every Windows installation?
The documentation for winmm.dll functions (like PlaySound) says that they are available in Windows 2000 and later versions.
Before resorting to stackoverflow, i have spend a lot of times looking for the solutions. I have been a linux-user/developer for few years, now shifting to windows-7.
I am looking for seting-up a development environment (mainly c/c++/bash/python) on my windows machine. Solutions i tired -
VirtuaBox latest, with grml-medium (very light debian-based distro)
some how managed to install it in VBox, but lots of issues still regarding Guest-Additions, sharing files, screen-resolutions. Tired with it, now.
MinGW
installed it, added to %PATH%, along with GVIM. Now i can use powershell, run gvim, vim, and mingw from the shell as bash. But no manpages, its a lot of convenience to have them availble, locally and offline. But i think it gives me a gcc development
Do i need mySys now. i can installed it if it provides me with manpages and ssh.
Cygwin
Has avoided till now. But i think it will give me manpages, gcc-utils, python-latest.
Something called Interix.
any taker for that. is it recommened.
What are the best practices? What are you guys following, i dont have a linux-box to ssh to, well if Vbox things works fine at some point of it, i can then ssh to my VBox. I have lost of time setting it up, so abandoning it for a while.
I think only VirtualBox solution will let try things like IPtables, or other linux-system-frameworks.
I checked this
Best setup for Linux development from Windows?
do you recommend coLinux or its derivatives. If yes advices or consideration before i try that.
I recommend VirtualBox+Ubuntu. Cygwin just doesn't cut it for certain tasks and is in beta for Win7.
Here is what I do for Python development on Windows:
EasyEclipse for Python (includes eclipse, subclipse, pydev)
GNU Win32 Native Windows ports for GNU tools
Vim and Emacs (for non-IDE editing work)
I would see if MSysGit can provide what you want first. also since man pages aren't really anything hugely impressive... it might just be possible to just copy them. I've had problems with cygwin, although to be honest I'm not happy with MSys, MSysGit, or Cygwin. I wish someone would build one that was more... linux like. I would if I had to use windows every day, fortunately I only have to use windows sparingly.
IMO I'd say VirtualBox + Gentoo Linux + KDevelop4, Gentoo will give you the control you need over your environment.
I'm doing exactly the opposite of you, I have gcc/qt4 installed on wine to compile for windows and using Linux primarily.
If you want to do development of POSIX applications (mostly command line), with all the familiar Linux tools, then cygwin is your best bet.
It probably include everything you are used to.
But if you will try to do Windows development (anything with UI, drivers, services), then Visual Studio is really gold.
And in general Visual Studio is just great for anything, if you want to spend the time and money. Good IDE, great debugger. I highly recommend it. And if you are in Rome, do what the Romans do :-)
I would recommend Bloodshed DevC++ as a good basic non-microsoft specific Windows solution for developing ANSI C/C++ code. Personally I just use Visual Studio 2008 and ignore all the Microsoft specific extensions.
For Python there is the wonderful Komodo Edit software that is free, personally the IDE version is what I prefer, but I use an old 3.5.3 version that works for me. And they have a very popular Python package called ActivePython as well, that has a bunch of Windows specific extension modules.
Personally cygwin just feels and acts like a hack to me and is painful to setup and maintain. I think running Linux/Unix in a Virtual Machine is much less hassle if you are looking for a *nix environment. Getting a really genuine *nix environment feel is going to be very hard under Windows.
The following suggestions hold if you are not going to do complex template programming as the c++ IDE's other than visual studio SUCK, they cannot efficiently index modern C++ code (the boost library).
I would suggest using Netbeans (it has far better support for C++ than eclipse/CDT) with the following two build environments. Both are important if you want to cross-compile and test against POSIX and win32. This is not a silver-bullet, you should test on different variants of UNIX once in a while:
I would suggest installing Mingw and Msys for windows development, its nice when you can use awk, grep, sed etc on your code :D generative programming is easier with shell tools as well -- writing generative build scripts is a bitch to do effectively of the command line in windows (powershell might have changed this).
I would ALSO suggest installing Cygwin and using that on the side. Mingw is for programming against the win32 low-level API, Cygwin is for programming against the POSIX standard. Cygwin also compiles a lot of software that you would otherwise have to port.
Also once you get your project up and running you can use CMAKE as build environment, its the best thing since sliced bread :P You can get it to spit out build definition for anything and everything -- including visual studio.
