CD with many compilers...Are there any?

Colonel Panic · 09-02-2001, 12:20 AM

Is there a CD with a whole bunch of programming languages/compilers on it that is compatible with Red Hat 7.1? Like, I don't have too many compilers, and would like some, so is there a CD with them? I'd like to get a Java compiler (I think Java is a compiled language...), FORTRAN, LISP (I don't know if I have it already...), ect. Are there any cheap ones out there? Can I download any? Thanks!

Also, maybe some for these:

Algol 60, Algol 68, PL/I, Cobol, Fortran 90, Delphi, Modula 2, Modula 3, RPG

I just want to mess around with programming languages, as I love to code!

fyi, java's an interpreted language, not a compiled one. that's one reason it's used a lot for cross platform compatibility- all you need is the java runtime environment from sun. if u find a cd like that though, lemme know. i'm looking for one too.

but personally, i'd rather not download one, because it takes so long to download something like an extensive IDE.

Thanks for the clarification. Rest assure that I've been severely punished, and I learned my lesson!

Your right in saying that Java is interpreted but it is also compiled before hand into Java Byte Code. Sun don't allow their java compiler to be distributed freely on CD's but do allow their JVMs to be. That doesn't stop you from downloading it and coping it onto CD, although I am telling you not to do that!
