Free .exe software for linux

EarCandy is a music juke-box that presents music collections in the somewhat novel way of artist,album, title regardless of the underlying directory structure.

This is the way that iNoize, a p2p music sharing company, presented music. I worked at iNoize for 18 months and really liked the approach, unfortunately, I do not like web based juke boxes ;-) (I think web uis are too limiting for the user and the developer).

EarCandy is written in Python using (currently) the Gtk toolkit for the user interface. I will eventually switch to AnyGui for the ui once they release a stable version.

EarCandy uses an external player to play tracks. Under Unix/Linux the only player currently supported is xmms. It needs to be running in order to play music, ie EarCandy will no start it for you. And under Windows, winamp is supported.

The main script to run is earcandy.py, cd into the directory and ./earcandy.py to run the application. Windows users, just run earcandy.exe.

The first time it runs, it will ask for the path to youre music files. Enter the path and click on OK. It will then scan that path for mp3 files and add them to an index. It saves the index file, so it only has to this once. You will be able to rescan the directory if you add new tracks to rebuild the index.

The main window consists of 4 list boxes. In order:

* Collections Eventually you will be able to add external collections and reference the music within. They are listed here.
* Artists is the list of all artists in the collection.
* Albums is the list of albums for the selected artist.
* Tracks is the list of tracks for the selected album.

To play an album or track, simple double click on it. There is also a context menu when the right mouse button is pressed on a album or track. For albums, this menu contains items to play the album and enqueue the album. It is similar for tracks.

Enqueing allows a album or track to be added to the list of songs being played in the music player without disturbing what is being played.

Clara is a help-documentation tool for C++ or java developers. Basically she paints a diagram - a clara diagram - from a class.

With clara you can visualize your class as if it were a chip with pins for input - representing the input parameters of the methods - and pins for output - representing the return type of the functions-.

Lets see for example the diagram that clara would draw for the following C++ sample class

class sampleInterface
{
public:

void init (MyStructure * pstruct);

void setPoint (float x, float y);

float getX ();
float getY ();

void processIt ();
};

What are these pins for ? Are we going to connect them somehow ? Not at all, it is just a convenient way to represent what the class offers in a very compact form.

Of course the diagram will be drawn by clara automatically, there is no need (and no chance) of manually drawing anything.

Clara gets the needed information in two ways : using reflection in java and parsing the header file in C++. Clara can also draw a call-diagram of the class if the sources are found, note though that for the call-diagram an extra tool is needed (dot.exe from http://www.graphviz.org) and it has to be installed apart.

CartoWeb is a comprehensive and ready-to-use Web-GIS (Geographical Information System) as well as a convenient framework for building advanced and customized applications.
Developed by Camptocamp SA, it is based on the UMN MapServer engine and is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Written using innovative language PHP5, CartoWeb is highly modular and customizable thanks to its object-oriented architecture. CartoWeb project runs evenly on Windows or Unix-like platforms and shows its real power when associated to PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
Last but not least, CartoWeb may be set up as a SOAP Web Service enabling to have front-end server on one machine and data and map generation on an other.
Enhancements:
- Redesigned DHTML map interface as a convenient object-oriented API.
- Added JavaScript constraints for polygons: maximum number of points, no crossing.
- Added new improved tabs interface.
- Added support of styles with shapes and labels in outline plugin.
- Added new profile parameter for quick development/production switch.
- Added possibility to separate toolbar icons in several groups dispatched wherever in the interface layout.
- Improved PDF export plugin:
- Support for multiline text blocks ;
- Support for external data source (files, databases) for text blocks ;
- Debugged overview extent ;
- Customizable overview outline colors ;
- Overview can use viewer keymap.
- Redesigned installation script. Added Windows installation wizard (.exe installer).
- Added views plugin.
- Added routing plugin.
- Added layers reordering plugin.
- Added raw-image output switch.
- Renamed class Serializable to CwSerializable (for PHP 5.0.4+ compatibility).
- Added possibility to create output-format specific tables rules (eg. only for PDF, only for HTML, only for CSV...).
- Switched most private plugins methods and members to "protected" in order to facilitate plugin extension.
- Added support for dynamic mapfiles (generation using PHP templates) and multiple mapfiles switching.
- Added support for dynamic changes on layers tree (aka "layers children switching").
- Moved I18n PO files to projects directories.
- Optimized export plugins (HTML, CSV, PDF, etc.) that now uses the main CartoWeb page (separated export.php pages are deprecated).

StandAloneQ3 is a modified version of the GPL engine of Quake3 which allows the player to start mods without the need of the Quake3 original CD

StandAloneQ3 is free software released under the GPL license.

To run saq3 you need to launch the mod from the command line like that:

- for windows: quake3.exe +set sf_name fname

- for linux: quake3 +set sf_name fname

Where fname is the folder name of the mod you want to run.

Known working mods are:

- World of Pandam ( http://www.worldofpadman.com/ )
- Western Quake 3 ( http://www.westernquake3.net/ )

If most of the mods will run, some shaders and/or textures used by mods may be missing, displaying errors in the game window.

When the game and maps are loaded missing textures/shaders are logged in the file "missing_shader-textures.log".

It has been reported that using the "pak0.pk3" file provided in Quake3 Arena Demo ( you need to create the folder "baseq3" in the software directory then copy pak0.pk3 in) may solve most of the shader/texture problems found in several mods and will allow bots to work.

In fact, any .pk3 file you have obtained legally can be added in baseq3 folder to complete missing textures or shaders. You must increment pak number every time you add a new one (pak0.pk3, pak1.pk3, pak2.pk3, etc... )

Quake, Quake 3 and Quake 3 Arena are trade marks of Id Software.

QA Tools allow you to automatically generate regular releases and/or snapshots of your product. Your product can be distributed as a source code archive (typically .tar.gz) or as a binary distribution archive (.deb, .rpm, .exe).
QA Tools can be used to generate nighly-built source and binary packages suitable for continuous integration and testing.
QA Tools can handle very simple product dependencies (read: in order to build/package product A you first need to build/package product B).
QA Tools work currently with the software packages that have source code managed using Subversion and that are ./configured && make installed using autoconf/automake.
QA Tools can help the people who are developing set of dependent crossplatform products that need to be packaged for different distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora Core, Suse, Windows, ...).
You should be familiar with autoconf/automake (particulary `make dist), RPM package building, and DEB package building. You should know how to store source code in SVN (trunk, branches, tags). QA Tools will not do any of those for you, but will help you to automate certain things and consume less time doing them.
Enhancements:
- Fix swapped function calls in svn-release-{deb,rpm}

RLS AVON project is a computer-based learning system. Students receive a lecture (screen shot) and then follow up with a test made up of multiple choice questions.

You could call RLS AVON computer aided instruction, but the program has the capacity to deliver instruction on its own. You could also call it an e-learning platform.
RLS AVON gives you freedom by supporting both Microsoft Windows and Linux. It could also be made to work under Mac OS X.

RLS AVON is free software, also called open source software, as defined by the GNU General Public License version 2 or, at your choice, later.

Lessons

RLS AVON comes with a lesson editor for educators (screen shot). Lessons may include text formatting and images. The lesson file format is based on XML and is designed to be vendor and platform neutral.

RLS AVON does not come with any lessons at this time, but it does support NOVA lessons (see below).

NOVA compatability

RLS AVON runs lessons from NOVA by Innovative Learning Systems. Only two parts (ILCMENU.EXE and GED32.EXE) were replaced.
