Free cross platform emulator software for linux

Cross Platform Toolkit Library (xtklib) is a C++ based framework for highly object-oriented cross-platform programming.
In particular, the library provides a full abstraction layer between its API and the main services offered by the underlying operating system(Thread, processes,GUI,Filesystem,etc.) plus a set of generic utilities (Strings,Data structures,etc.).
Unlike other famous libraries, xtklib makes full use of all features of C++ like RTTI, Templates, Exceptions thus obtaining a strongly object-oriented design with a Java-like sensation.
The library is composed by two main modules: "Base" and "Widgets". The target operating systems are Windows and Unix(Linux and BSD in primis) with a plan to move also towards other systems.
Main features:
- Use of modern C++ - use of many powerfull features offered by modern C++ like exceptions,RTTI,templates and namespaces allows faster development,improves code readability,and reduces programming errors.
- Strong Object-Oriented design - designed to meet requirements of modern software industry: modularity, low coupling, high cohesion,information hiding. Design patterns and advanced class hierarchies are extensively used in all the library.
- Ease of use - Clean and intuitive programming interface with a Java-like sensation.
- Complete - Features supported includes:
- Basic services: Thread, Synchronization, Filesystem access, Processes, Networking.
- Advanced services: I/O Streams, Logging.
- Debugging tools: Stack tracing, Memory Leak detection.
- Gui widgets (Work in progress): Windows,Frames,Layout managers,common controls,advanced controls.
- Generic utilities: complete data structures framework, String class with unicode support.
- Full unicode support: native support to unicode, conversion to/from different charsets.
- And many others: the list is too much long to enumerate all minor but extremely usefull features.
- Cross Platform - Supports various systems and compilers.
- XTKlib is known to work under:
- Windows XP (x86)
- Visual C++ versions 7.1, 8.0
- MinGW32
- Linux (x86, x86_64)
- GCC 3.4
- Compatibility with other platforms and compilers are not excluded.(If you can compile/use xtklib with a non listed compiler/platform let us know about that, thanks)
- Fast - Although performance are not the main goal of this library (exceptions and RTTI have a tradeoff in this meaning), code agility and execution speed are often taken in consideration during development, thus leaving a performance advantage compared to interpreted programming languages(eg. Java,C#) or scripting languages(eg. Python,Ruby,Perl).
Enhancements:
- This is the first release with a working "Widgets" module, although it has only basic features.
- This release is provided for testing and development only.

PAR::Tutorial is a cross-platform Packaging and Deployment with PAR.

SYNOPSIS

This is a tutorial on PAR, first appeared at the 7th Perl Conference. The HTML version of this tutorial is available online as http://aut.dyndns.org/par-tutorial/.

On Deploying Perl Applications

% sshnuke.pl 10.2.2.2 -rootpw="Z1ON0101"
Perl v5.6.1 required--this is only v5.6.0, stopped at sshnuke.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at sshnuke.pl line 1.

Q: "Help! I cant run your program!"
A1: Install Perl & perl -MCPAN -einstall(...)
How do we know which modules are needed?
New versions of CPAN modules may break sshnuke.pl
A2: Install Perl & tar zxf my_perllib.tgz
Possibly overwriting existing modules; not cross-platform at all
A3: Use the executable generated by perlcc sshnuke.pl
Impossible to debug; perlcc usually does not work anyway

Nemesis Pascal is an Pascal interpreter that is:

Free
Open Source (GPL)
Cross-platform (currently Windows and Linux)

Nemesis Pascal is written in Delphi and Kylix. Borland CLX libraries supplies the cross-platform features.

The Nemesis Pascal applications runs on Windows using native controls, and Linux using the CLX Library (a binding to Qt Trolltech).

Exemple:

unit test1;

interface

implementation

procedure main;
begin
ShowMessage(Hello World!);
end;

end.

BluePlayer is a cross-platform, simple, light sound player. BluePlayer supports the following file formats: WAV, uncompressed AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MP3, MOD, S3M, IT, and XM.

- Cross platform
- Simple Light
- for GUI using FLTK widgets http://www.fltk.org/
- uses a Audiere sound library http://audiere.sourceforge.net/
- Supported file formats: Uncompressed WAV*, Uncompressed AIFF*, Ogg Vorbis*, FLAC*, MP3, MOD, S3M, IT, XM (* supports seeking)

OpenInput project is a cross-platform, easy-to-use, portable input handler library, written in C.
The primary goal of OpenInput is to make it easier for application programmers to write portable code that deals with input from mice, keyboards, joysticks and other devices.
In other words, OpenInput will allow you to write a single piece of code that handles input for your application for all platforms, for example GNU/Linux, Windows and MacOS X.
This is achieved by abstracting the low-level platform-specific input device handling into a stable, intuitive, platform-independent API: OpenInput.
Main features:
- Total platform independence
- Easy to use, sane and simple API
- Fully documented functions and data structures
- Automatic configuration of available devices
- Generic event handling
- Keyboard state managment (eg. up/down/lock)
- Mouse motion and state managment (eg. movement, buttons up/down)
- Joystick motion and state handling for axes, hats and trackballs
- Can "hook" into existing windows
- Provides resize, iconify, close and expose events for the application window
- Action mapping, so events can be handled without any knowledge of the underlying device
- Pointer (mouse) grabbing inside window
- Show/hide pointer inside window
- Keyboard focus grabbing
Enhancements:
- This version contains major documentation updates, both big and small bugfixes, and minor feature enhancements which dont break the API.

MovieSlave is a very simple cross-platform (Windows, Linux) movie manager.

MovieSlave project can automatically fetch movie details (tagline, runtime, rate, year, plot, director) from the IMDb.

From its clean user interface you can easily add, edit, delete and search for any title without being lost in useless options.
