Programming :: Need Any Open Source Alternative To .net / VC++
Jan 2, 2011
I refuse to use .net for any of my apps since I hate using proprietary code that wont work on other platforms without using emulation.
However, I do like how all the hard work is done for you and you can spend more time implementing, then actually coding stuff like socket classes, date/time classes and other wrappers to make the complex C/C++ code easier to use and tie with each other I have a custom library that I've been adding to as I need stuff, but then I got thinking, there must be something out there with everything I need to code applications, that is easy to use and more reliable and efficient then anything I'd ever make.
Does such framework exist?

My sister works a lot with boating frame design, etc. and she needs a program that calculates all the measurements for you, but the program she wants only runs on Windows and costs $275.
Here is the website to the program: http://www.clearwatercanvas.com/ and/or http://www.kingrichardco.com/FrameBenders/EZFrame.htm
Is there an open sourced alternative to this program that is free, or is there a simple way to make an open sourced alternative?

I am looking for an application that works in both linux and freebsd (windows would be a plus) that keeps a file tree in sync in the background like Dropbox does. I can no longer use Dropbox because it does not support FreeBSD (you might see a forum thread saying otherwise, but its fix is out of date). The application does not have to sync to a separate web server, I can host from my house, but it would be nice. A system tray icon to check on state would also be nice, but not required. The platforms that I really need are kubuntu 9.10 and FreeBSD 8.0.The simplest thing I could think of would be a script that had git update a repository with all my docs in it every minute or so, would this work?

Is there a good open source alternative to flash and/or java out there? I really don't want to support adobe and java irritates me because for some reason I can't install it without also installing firefox (why are they dependent?) so I'd like to try something else.

Visual Logic is required by my Programming Logic and design course but my instructor said if I can find a comparable (feature for feature) open source equivalent he may let me use it. Google is not helping me at the moment. Anyone can recommend an open source alternative for Visual Logic?

Anybody know of any good, easy, open source alternatives to Microsoft WordArt?
I know I could use Inkscape or a 3D program to create word art, but the Word Art function in Microsoft Office is SO much more convenient.
Has anybody ever tried to create an open source alternative?

I wish to start development for the open source projects. And going to start working on some project in C/C++ and shell/python scripts. I wish to know the best suitable development environment for this purpose? What about eclipse? I will be interacting with git, make and other open source utilities.

Just a heads up. I just found out about a free online book called Producing Open Source Software. It's great.
I just used a trunk checkout and the directions here to make myself an epub version:

EDIT AGAIN: don't download the epub version from here:

If you get it there, then the table of contents doesn't work. Make the epub version yourself, and you have a table of contents.

I would like to ask you something about open-source and linux. Is it possible to make a commercial application for linux and sell it compiling it with linking to open-source libraries without altering them and consequently without allowing download of the source code and without making the application itself free?

I was wondering, what would be a good, open-source file format for a beginner in the field, like me, to start editing sound files? This file format would have to be well documented, preferibly open-source, lossless and, most of all, convertible to more popular file formats, such as mp3 or wav maybe. I would like to design my own sound effects through directly editing the binary sequence of a sound file. I imagine this editing would have the purpose of adjusting the voltage variations of the sound device's output in time. It would be perhaps something like a PC-controlled signal generator. I'm thinking I might be able to do this in linux with something like
Code:
$ dd if=mysound.raw of=/dev/audio
But then, which book or resource woule be a good and through explenation of the relationship between the bit sequence in mysound.raw and the signal function generated in the output of, say, my computer's sound card.

I've been trying to find a source tracking website similar to Freshmeat so that I can keep an eye on version updates.
I need one because I am trying to build myself a Linux distro from scratch and it would really help if there was a single source where I could see software updates, and download from.

We all know we can install a linux system such as Fedora 10 and use it. Being linux, one should in principle get the source codes for everything that has been precompiled (except the proprietary drivers such as nvidia) in the installation DVDs/CDs. Where are the source codes ? Is there a place I can download them ?
To avoid confusion, I am not referring to the kernel source that can be compiled to give a linux kernel, but that does not include the drivers, such as intel_drv.so.
To be more specific, the intel graphic i810 driver has been built into any linux system, but where is the exact source? One answer may be that primary source intellinuxgraphics.com. However, if anyone tries to download the every changing (i.e., keep updated almost every single day) driver source codes from freedesktop.org, it is almost certain that the source codes will not be the same as the one that is finalized in Fedora 10.

I sort of asked this question in the arch linux forums since I was interested in arch but I still have yet to get a response (maybe it's too early).I wan't something like gentoo but without taking up unnecessary space like gentoo's portage does (/usr/portage/). I find that to be a serious flaw with gentoo. Yes you can use squashfs-unionfs to help but it requires some work especially when something goes wrong with portage.I was thinking about arch but can you use it completely as a source based distro? Some people seem to have said it requires scripting and some work from the user. I wan't something that'll do it for me so I can set it and forget it.
I heard about source mage linux and exherbo but I'm not sure what to think. I'm thinking about trying arch linux and source mage but perhaps there's other distro's I don't know about. I'd really like some suggestions.

I have used audacity occasionally since... well, since ever. I grew annoyed by a very uncommon way to do the things, and for the occasional bug of the day (varying the bug depending on the concrete day, that is).
After I awoke in the morning to continue the editing, it seems that audacity decided not to be able to open the file it saved 5 hours ago (not much time to sleep, you see). I am looking for a piece of software that can do basic wave editing. I really don't need jack, ardour, rosegarden nor anything like that. I only do wave editing, and as said very occasionally.
So, is there any other wave editor that I can use instead of audacity? I don't even need it to be able to open the audacity .aup files. I will re-do the work if needed.

I wrote a bash script a few months ago and now I want to convert it to a C program. However, i used awk a lot in my script, and I don't know what to use in place of awk. The awk calls are simple, like string splitting and math, but I don't know of any replacement for the string splitting function. Are there any C libraries that include some sort of string splitting function?
