Programming languages in SuSE Linux? / camels on the desktop
Hi, A few days ago I was talking to a colleague who is about to start on SuSE 7.3 on a new box, and he asked me about which programming languages one could be using on SuSE. I had to admit that me being far too stoopid to program anything just had no idea. Well, I know, the tarballs are c and you use the gcc compiler for it. And maybe you do know some awesome homepages to have a look at ... Btw, the camel on the desktop is great, it's a 32*32 png and I copied it to /opt/kde2/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps, where it can be accessed directly via the icon chooser. Cheers ....

Hi, There are a couple, I personally use: --> Kylix (Open Edition) --> Java (Sun 1.3.1) --> C++ (gcc and stuff) On the topic of the camel... ...guess I need to go check... ...;) *Q runs off to check out the piccy* Q On Friday 09 November 2001 11:59, wolfi wrote:

What does he want to do? Linux supports just about every programming language, some better than others. If he wants to do GUI stuff with an IDE then C++/KDevelop, Java/JBuilder or Kylix/Kylix would be the best options. All are free (in one sense or another) for at least the base version. If he wants webish/CGI/admin sort of things then Perl would be the one to go for. Tcl/Tk makes a great prototyping language for GUI work and is a great tool for small user facing applications in it's own right. At the system level, C is the only sensible option. People rave about Python but I've never tried it myself.

This is not a complete list, but you can program in C, C++, Perl, Python, Tcl, and Java. -v -- Victor R. Cardona Powered by SuSE Linux 7.1 (i386) Professional GPG key ID E81B3A1C Key fingerprint = 0147 A234 99C3 F4C5 BC64 F501 654F DB49 E81B 3A1C

The answer is yes. In many ways, I'm not even joking. -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com
The only three languages I know that aren't available with SuSE are Visual Basic C# APL The first is designed by idiots for idiots and is full of bugs. I once had to remove a hyphen from a comment to get a program to compile. The second I guess is an attmpt to do what java does better. The third is probably out of date by now. But C, C++, Perl, Java, Python, Forth, Ada, Pascal, Basic, Fortran, Lisp, PHP are all available. JDL wolfi wrote:
