intel machines: what freebie compilers available?
Pauline Seymour
some ideas using c, c++ (if I have to!), java and learn something
about perl. I've bought a book on perl but there is nothing like
trying it out. I (obviously) have downloaded Java from the Sun
site BUT are there any other freebie compilers around. I use
ANSI c (for its portability) at work and have used lots of other
languages on various other systems so am not looking for
"how to write programs" info BUT neither do I need great big
sooper-dooper IDEs because few programs are going to be
greater than a few hundred lines.

There's quite a few of them around. I program on a UNIX machine and an
MSWindows machine and consequently like the cygwin package which gives
you a couple of compilers with a lot of the POSIX stuff as well as
ANSI. The compiler is gcc or egcs. They also have a smaller package.
You can check www.cygnus.com. You might check www.gnu.org and
www.delorie.com. Incidently this is a question often asked so you
might peruse the list for other answers. You can read the faq at
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html

Ooh! All Perl compilers (although not in the traditional sense) are
freely available! Check out Activestate, <www.activestate.com>, for a
Win32 version: ActivePerl.
For other languages, check the "Free Compiler" list on
<http://www.idiom.com/free-compilers/>.
Dr. Dobbs Journal has brought out a CD-ROM with some of the more
interesting ones, under the name "Alternative Programming Languages".
Check their website (www.ddj.com) for info.

Why are you posting this in the thread named "Help with CGI and Perl"?
You don't followup to any of the postings, and you don't contribute
to the discussion in any way. Yet, you copy the references line from
the thread.
If you don't know what the buttons do on your machine, DO NOT PUSH THEM!
Seek professional help. Or toss your computer away. Just don't randomly
push them, else bad things might happen.
