General :: Small Distribution Which Comes With Complete C Development Environment
May 2, 2010
I have installed "Damn Small Linux" on my home computer for doing C development in unix. But the distribution doesn't by default come with the C development environment and I am facing some issues when trying to install the gcc.Is there any other small Linux distribution which by default has the required packages for the C development. And also I don't want additional software which takes up lot of space but still would like to have the graphical environment.
I have an old Pentium-4, 2GB RAM, 2X160GB IDE-Hard disk computer. I am learning software development and I need a distribution with support for
(a) Oracle/Sun Glassfish v3 server (b) Apache web server (c) MySQL server (d) Postgres server (e) Sun virtual-box (headless) (f) Webmin
For my home use, I need a proxy server and a file-and-print server (e.g. samba) I need to be able to run it headless. It should be easy to configure, but should also be like a real-world linux-distribution.
I am working with TS7260 and ARM9 board with Debian os I want to interface any database so will you guide what header files are required and how to compile it..
I installed a library to the /usr/local/ prefix in Linux using ./configure && make && make install. What environment variables do I need to set in order for the linker and compiler to search these new library and header paths?
I'm looking into creating a virtual machine to mirror a web hosting environment I pay for. Long story short, I need a lab so I am not taking down the live site with my mistakes.Questions:
1 - What OS is most commonly used and / or best for running apache web server?My paid host is running "Operating System =linux; Kernel Version2.6.28.5-grsec-sg2"
2 - What is the best open source solution for creating a virtual linux machine on a box running XP?
I need help with choosing the right distribution for web development.My potential future employeer wants me to give him some ideas, We are going to create a new catalog website, using a CMS,So I need to know some good solutions,
1. Which CMS to use for such a website, my idea is Joomla!
2. Which platform would be effective, here's where I need to ask you, as I know only a little about Linux distributions. But my idea is openSUSE so far.
3. Which development tools to use, for PHP scripting and MySQL(also xhtml and css).
I am would like to learn how to keep my system clean of unneeded and unwanted file clutter as I am trying to get the most out of my older home built pc. I am running fatdog64 puppy linux off of a usb stick right now, but I would like to have a small standards based setup on my hard drive to use as a base to build a custom kernel for my pc. I sure miss my old GEM desktop
I'm looking to upgrade the infrastructure in our office (small web development shop). I'm going to buy a small floor standing rack and in it we will have a dedicated firewall / VPN box, a web development server and a fileserver (for now). I intend to use Debian squeeze for everything.
My main question is what should I do about RAID? I've not used it myself before, instead relying on backups to removable disks. This time I want to do everything properly, and a measure of disk redundancy is required so I guess we will be going for RAID 1.
I'm looking at this [URL].. server which comes with an Intel ICH10R RAID controller on board, and also has an option to add a 3ware 9650SE-LP. The site says the Intel chipset is Windows only, so I guess the 3ware alternative is the way to go. The server also has two 3.5" hot swap drive bays. Could anybody advise me if the 3ware card is a good choice for use with Debian? Also, how can I monitor the health of the drives with standard Debian tools out of the repos? Any other RAID tips are also interesting for me.
I have recently got tired of Windows and now trying to switch to Linux Kubuntu. how to download TCC for Linux, but I'm not able to use it. I used to add two right click menu entries(at WinXP) - Compile, and Compile and Run. Is there a way I can do it with Linux, for the .C format?
I have been looking around the web and forums for a while for the best way to set up a development office. I havent really found many specifics. I am with a new company is just starting to really take their development services seriously. We've added a couple developers and designers in the last month. I am trying to figure out a the best way to set up our environment.
We have a couple dedicated virtual servers with Media Temple. Currently, we develop everything under a subdomain of a domain we set up for development. When the site is ready to go live we move the site to its own domain. I cant believe this is the best way to go about things. So, what do you guys suggest as a setup? Software, versioning, etc. We have the ability to setup a test server in house and then push out changes to the production server but not really sure if that is needed.
We do mainly Wordpress development. If this should be posted in another area,
I would like to install a very light linux distribution. Light enough to be an host running virtualbox (or vmware player) and then a linux virtual machine of choice on it. Occasionally I could be in needs of running a windows distribution.
The reason why I would like to do this is that I am a developer. I found much convenient to prepare my development environment and run it from machine to machine. Rather than reinstalling a distribution and set it up each time I buy a new laptop.
Do you think it's possible ? The alternative could be to make a kind of linux image and install on a brand new PC, but I don't know how to do that and what are the downside of it.
I was trying to setup a cross-platform development environment with qt, an thus looked for the qt-sdk package I used to install on my 32-bit machine.This package appears to have been deleted from 64-bit ubuntu maverick, but I do not understand the details...
- Has this package been renamed, or is there another one in place of it?
- Is this package going to be available again in the future?
PS: I am aware that one can install the sdk by downloading the installer, but for unattended install I prefer the apt package...
I need to create a sandbox environment on my LAMP server for PHP/MySql development. Anyone who could point me in the right direction or share their insight?
I have a mini-ITX based system with a 256Mb Flash Drive and 256Mb of RAM.
I aim to use it for the following applications: Samba Server Cups Rsync Basic Web Server File based Wiki (perhaps Dokuwiki) Package Management (to easily add other software as required)
I don't need any X based software or Desktop.
I was hoping to create a Debian Live distribution and run the whole operating system either from a Read Only file system or from RAM.
However (after connecting a standard HDD) and installing basic Debian along with the packages I require (and their dependencies) the filesystem is already over 1Gb in size.
Is there any way this can be reduced drastically in size? Is Debian Live the best way of achieving what I want? Something like Puppy Linux is much smaller in size but I don't want something with such an emphasis on having a Desktop environment which I don't need.
I would like to install a program (R for statistical computing). I am using Slackware. On the download page of R (The Comprehensive R Archive Network) there are options to download the code for Debian, Redhat, Suse, and Ubuntu. Which one should I download in my case (using Slackware)? Is there any of them which I should not download?
I need to download specific JDK version but from console in Linux. I have not lynx/elinks etc linstalled. Where can i download Java Development Kit (JDK) from ftp ?
i would like to use a sdk or compiler to run/execute a program on ARM type processors but to compile the programs in desktop PC.the sdk or compiler should be a freeware.
Im just wondering what everyone's experiences are with the latest Ubuntu 10.04 version? Is it stable enough for a working environment? I require it for web development, so using VMs, IDEs, connecting to VPNs, SSH to servers, etc. Im currently using 9.04 and found 9.10 unstable and problematic at times (such as problems connecting to VPN)
I am running Fedora 8. Each time I run a YUM command, I get the message that there are unfinished transactions, and to run yum-complete-transaction. Upon running yum-complete-transaction, it fails with this error. How can I remove this uncompleted transaction so I can finish the last one?
II'm a front-end web developer, I've always developed on Windows with technologies like XHTML, CSS, Javascript and Flash, I've dabbled with PHP and MySQL. I am well used to Windows workflows and tools, from Photoshop to Notepad++, Filezilla and WAMP server stacks to After Effects, and a swathe more - but always on Windows.I'm at a point where I think I need to start seriously developing on a Linux box, specifically at the moment to create web apps based on Node.js, but compiling tools and programs has become a task I'm more frequently required to do.
My question? I need to get my hands on a user-friendly install of Linux, but which one? I need common interface developer tools (lists welcome) to replace... well as many tools I have on Windows as possible.I need to be readily connected to the internet, I need OS updates to not destroy my workflow by crashing the OS, as I've seen Ubuntu do to various friends. I want efficiency, I need to be able to customise what I need to in order to perform development tasks.I guess this could be a long list, but - I don't have practical working knowledge of the Linux OS, nor how it "compares" to Windows (excuse my faux pas). I'm obviously willing to learn, but I'm far, far more keen to just... continue interface development, just on Linux instead of Windows.
What does "distribution" mean? My Acer computer, on which I have linux linpus lite, comes with very little documentation and while I have a physics BA and have had exposure to technology, my knowledge of linux is just about zip. Is there a good place to start? As you can see, this question about the word "distribution" is a razor thin top of an enormous iceberg of ignorance.
I wanted to design a project in linux which could contain programming languages(C, perl, PHP, HTML, XML etc) basically a web based project. Why I have chosen to build on Linux is because it is Open Source, and lot many things can be automated through scripting languages, which in windows I don't know. So, I have installed linux on a virtual machine(Host-Windows 2007 & Guest Linux CentOS), CentOS(command line interface). Since I am a beginner, so I want to know what all tools can be used to facilitate and ease my development process. Some which I know are listed below:
1) Using Putty so that can access the Linux machine from anywhere within the network. 2) Since I want to develop on Linux, but want to use windows as developing platform. So have downloaded Eclipse Editor (C/PHP) on windows. But want to know how can I access linux files from here? 3) Installed Samba, and still trying to figure out how can I access linux files remotely on Windows. 4) How can I ease my development process and what all tools I can use..??
I'm looking for some advice on choosing the proper distribution for building a hardware/software development environment.
My main field of interest would be: - HDL (VHDL mainly) - FPGA/CPLD (synthesis, simulation etc) - CSystemC - Tcl scripting - network hardware applications development (FPGA-based network processors i.e.)
Key (or nice to have at least) system features would be: - large, stable and willing to help community (especially the large developer part of which would be welcomed) - support for wide spectrum of development tools (proprietary and open source) - bunch of docs, tutorials, guides, hints for devel's
As far as my online research went, I've manage to shorten it down to 3 favorites: - Debian - Fedora/CentOS - Gentoo
I inadvertently upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 developmental while trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04.1. Can anyone can in downgrading back to a stable release without having to reformat everything?
I need a 64-bit Linux distribution to beta test TeraChem, a GPU-based quantum chemistry package. I have never personally used Linux, however, and I don't know anything about the available distributions. I was wondering if I could get some recommendations.
My system specifications:
CPU: Xeon W3520 GPU: NVIDIA GTX 275 Motherboard: GIGABYTE EX-58 UD5 Current OS: Windows 7 64-bit
I would not use Linux as my sole OS but would want to dual-partition (I think that is the term?). However, I think I would end up using the distribution for more than just running TeraChem. I may even become a convert!
What am I looking for in a distribution? Ease of use, efficiency, 64-bit. What do I know how to do? I can build computers, code in C++, comfortably use a command line.
I would like to make my own Linux distribution.Where do I find a Linux distribution that has just the OS, a browser and basic drivers for ethernet, video, etc.I can then build it up myself through the repo.
what distribution has the most software with it ? I mean one that come with many cds of software that get all install at once while the first install. I heard about this a while back but I can't remember the name of it, I think it was mandrivia. A free one but I am curious for the other one that cost money.
