GCC and g++

GCC is the compiler system of the GNU environment. GNU is a UNIX-compatible operating system, being developed by the Free Software Foundation, and distributed under the GNU Public License (GPL)

Click Here For More.

Most Linux distributions support dozens of programming languages. The most common collection of utilities for building both Linux applications and operating system programs is found within the GNU toolchain, which includes the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and the GNU build system. Amongst others, GCC provides compilers for C, C++, Java, Ada and Fortran. The Linux kernel itself is written to be compiled with GCC.

Most also include support for Perl, Ruby, Python and other dynamic languages. Examples of languages that are less common, but still well-supported, are C# via the Mono project, and Scheme. A number of Java Virtual Machines and development kits run on Linux, including the original Sun Microsystems JVM (HotSpot),g++ is the traditional nickname of GNU C++, a freely redistributable C++ compiler. It is part of gcc, the GNU compiler suite, and is currently part of that distribution.

Fedora 8 Having Three Different Options for Java :

• Official :Sun Java,
• Open Source GNU: gcj
• Open Jdk

Java Plug Ins For Firefox :

[Puneet@LocalHost ~] $sudo yum install java-1.7.0-icedtea java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin

[Puneet@LocalHost ~ ] $ sudo /usr/bin/mozilla-plugin-config -i -f

Sun Java

First you must install some libraries needed by Sun’ Java. Open a Console and Type:

[Puneet@LocalHost ~] $ sudo yum install compat-libstdc++-33 compat-libstdc++-296

When the libraries are installed create the links to this Libraries by typing:

Video Players

MPlayer

Fedora ships with a limited set of media player for both audio and video. For audio please read the MP3 player notes. For video and other multimedia (DVD, etc.) we will also be making use of a 3rd party repository: Livna. Make sure to have the Livna repository configured before executing the following. Note that many “dependancies” in libraries, plugins and codecs are shared between these applications and also the MP3 player applications.

The most popular media players (in order) are: MPlayer, Xine and VLC. Each has its own strengths. Install whichever you prefer although the first 2 are recommended.

About - MPlayer comes in a command line only interface (mplayer) or skinable GUI and it also has a powerful encoding tool MEncoder (also great for ripping or compressing audio/video). Additionally there is a highly functional web plugin allowing for many popular formats in Firefox/Mozilla (WMV, QuickTime, etc.).

Type the FOllowing Command in the Terminal.

[Puneet@localhost ~]$sudo yum install mplayer mplayer-gui mplayer-skins mplayer-fonts mplayerplug-in mencoder

Binary Codecs For Mplayer or Xine

• Navigate to: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/ <!– (if the link is down, please use a mirror) !–>
• Select the package (.tar.bz2) matching your version of Fedora. Many 32-bit users will use: all-20071007.tar.bz2
• Install the codecs:
  [Puneet@localhost ~]$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/codecs
  [Puneet@localhost ~]$ sudo tar -jxvf all-20071007.tar.bz2 –strip-components 1 -C /usr/lib/codecs/

Vlc Player

VLC – VLC is a simpler media player with an easy to use interface. It also supports DVD playback. While most needs should be met with Xine and MPlayer some prefer VLC.

vlc supports almost any video type.

• Installation through yum with Livna enabled:

  [Puneet@localhost ~]$ sudo yum install vlc

Real Player

Download RealPlayer rpm from here or Select: “Advanced Installation RedHat Package” .

Next open a terminal and go to the Folder you downloaded it. Install it by typing:

[Puneet@localhost ~]$ sudo yum install compat-libstdc++-33
[Puneet@localhost ~]$ sudo rpm -ivh RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm
[Puneet@localhost ~]$sudo yum remove HelixPlayer

xine

[Puneet@localhost ~] $ sudo yum install xine xine-lib-extras xine-lib-extras-nonfree
[Puneet@localhost ~]$ sudo yum install gstreamer-ffmpeg ffmpeg ffmpeg-libs

Audacious

If you want to use your winamp 2.x skin with audacious simply copy winamp’s *.wsz skin to /usr/share/audacious/Skins/

If your tags are in a different encoding than utf8 you can force audacious to use it:

Preferences -> Playlist -> Metadata -> Fallback character encoding -> iso8859-7

If you want to add in queue mp3s when double clicked edit this file:

[Puneet@localhost ~]$ sudo nano /usr/share/applications/fedora-audacious.desktop

If you visit a page which needs flash to be displayed correctly click on
the the missing plugin icon and Firefox will automatically install it
for you. Restart firefox and type about:plugins in the address bar. If
the plugin has been successfully installed you should see ‘Shockwave Flash’ among plugins.

• Adobe Flash Plugin

Alternativelly you can install the Adobe Fedora Repository and install/update Flash plugin easilly. Open a console and type:

Type The Following Commands in The Teminal One By One .

[Puneet@localhost ~]$ sudo rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

[Puneet@localhost ~]$ sudo rpm –import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux

[Puneet@localhost ~]$ sudo yum install flash-plugin

For Update Type :

[Puneet@localhost ~]$ sudo yum update flash-plugin

Another Flash Plugins

Fedora 8 comes with an open source flash plugin. To install it type:

$ sudo yum install gnash gnash-plugin

Gnash for some reason installs its plugin into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins when it needs to be in /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.8/plugins.

So to fix this type:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.8/pluginslibgnashplugin.

So Be careful to replace the correct Firefox version in the above command.
For the New Version Like I have :2.0.0.10-5.fc9

SO Mine Plugins will install on /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.10-5.fc9/plugins.

Alternate Way to Install Gnash Flash Plugins

Go to Applications->System Tools->Yum Extender

Click ON-> Package View

Now Search For ->Gnash :in Available Package

Choose The Packages Depending on Ur Version No.

Note: Thanks to Nomb for that info!
