i noticed that one of my linux format cds had once come with good dev tools section..
FreeBASIC [image: Screenshot]<file:///media/LXFDVD99/Development/FreeBASIC/screenshot.gif>FreeBASIC - as the name suggests - is a completely free, open-source, 32-bit BASIC compiler, with the syntax the most compatible possible with MS-QuickBASIC, that adds new features such as pointers, unsigned data types, inline-assembly and many others. Go to this directory <file:///media/LXFDVD99/Development/FreeBASIC/> Visit the homepage <http://www.freebasic.net/> Free_Pascal Free Pascal (aka FPK Pascal) is a 32 and 64 bit professional Pascal compiler. It is available for different processors: Intel x86, Amd64/x86_64, PowerPC, Sparc. The discontinued 1.0 version also supports the Motorola 680x0. The following operating systems are supported: Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X/Darwin, Mac OS classic, DOS, Win32, Win64, WinCE, OS/2, Netware (libc and classic) and MorphOS. Go to this directory <file:///media/LXFDVD99/Development/Free_Pascal/> Visit the homepage <http://www.freepascal.org/> G95 G95 is a stable, production Fortran 95 compiler available for multiple cpu architectures and operating systems. Innovations and optimizations continue to be worked on. Parts of the F2003 standard have been implemented in G95.

It is the de facto standard compiler on Linux and many other Free Software Unix-like systems. Go to this directory <file:///media/LXFDVD99/Development/GCC/> Visit the homepage <http://gcc.gnu.org/> GCL GCL is the official Common Lisp for the GNU project. Its design makes use of the system's C compiler to compile to native object code, providing for both good performance and facile portability. GCL currently compiles itself and the primary free software Lisp applications, Maxima , ACL2 and Axiom, on eleven GNU/Linux architectures (x86 powerpc s390 sparc arm alpha ia64 hppa m68k mips mipsel), Windows, Sparc Solaris, and FreeBSD. On most platforms, GCL can load native object code modules directly into its lisp core, where they are preserved in any custom lisp images produced via the save-system call. Go to this directory <file:///media/LXFDVD99/Development/GCL/> Visit the homepage <http://www.gnu.org/software/gcl/> Gforth Gforth is a fast and portable implementation of the ANS Forth language. It works nicely with the Emacs editor, offers some nice features such as input completion and history and a powerful locals facility, and it even has (the beginnings of) a manual. Gforth employs traditional implementation techniques: its inner interpreter is indirect or direct threaded.

It supports the entire Haskell 98 language and has a wide range of libraries. Here you'll find pre-built binary packages for x86 and 64-bit PCs (extract and read the documentation), along with the source code. Go to this directory <file:///media/LXFDVD99/Development/GHC/> Visit the homepage <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> GNU_Prolog GNU Prolog is a free Prolog compiler with constraint solving over finite domains developed by Daniel Diaz. GNU Prolog accepts Prolog+constraint programs and produces native binaries (like gcc does from a C source). The obtained executable is then stand-alone. The size of this executable can be quite small since GNU Prolog can avoid to link the code of most unused built-in predicates. The performances of GNU Prolog are very encouraging (comparable to commercial systems).

Sponsored by Novell, the Mono open source project has an active and enthusiastic contributing community and is positioned to become the leading choice for development of Linux applications. To install, copy the mono-1.2.5_5-installer.bin file to your home directory, make it executable via your file manager, and then run it (as root). It's wise to remove any existing Mono installations beforehand.

It supports a range of object file formats including Linux a.out and ELF, COFF, Microsoft 16-bit OBJ and Win32. It will also output plain binary files. Its syntax is designed to be simple and easy to understand, similar to Intel's but less complex. It supports Pentium, P6, MMX, 3DNow! and SSE opcodes, and has macro capability. It includes a disassembler as well.
