Free studio 2.0 software for linux

64 Studio is developing a collection of software for digital content creation on x86_64 hardware (thats AMDs 64-bit CPUs and Intels EM64T chips).
Its based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, but with a specialised package selection and lots of other customisations.
64 Studio has Debian Pure 64 with X.org, the Gnome desktop, kernel 2.6.12 with realtime preemption patches and a selection of creative applications. Please note that this release is provided for testing only, and comes with no warranty.
Problems in this release include useful packages missing or not installed by default, confusing Gnome menus and assorted warnings during installation. There are probably plenty of other things wrong with it as well, which is why were calling this an alpha release. But it does actually install and run on our Opteron and Athlon 64 test hardware.
Anyone who is interested in getting involved with the 64 Studio project would be most welcome. Our aim is to create a distribution with full (but completely optional) commercial support, which will generate revenue to pay free software developers.
Enhancements:
- 64 Studio 2.0 is designed to retain compatibility with Debian Etch, to create a long-lived and stable creative desktop. We combine the stability and quality of Etch with a specialised real-time preemption kernel and the latest creative tools demanded by multimedia artists. Our tweaks to Debian include simplified installation and default settings which help get production underway quickly. Its our target that users should be able to get from a blank hard disc to a fully hardware-optimised and usable creative desktop in just half an hour.

MinGW Developer Studio is a cross-platform C/ C++ IDE for the GNU C/C++ Compilers.

It features a multiple document interface, syntax highlighting, code folding, help integration, project management, debug and release project configuration support (like Visual Studio 6.0), debugging support, code calltip, makefile support, smart indent, and more.

Sound Studio is a Tcl/Tk application written by Paul Sharpe as his third year individual project, for which he received the Microsoft Prize for Software Engineering. It was subsequently improved by Robin Whitehead.

It enables recording, playback and simple cut & paste editing of sound files of diverse formats on a PC equipped with a soundcard and the OSS (formally VoxWare) sound drivers.

It uses Lance Norskogs Sox for format conversion; the version weve used is bundled together with this software in its entirety to prevent incompatibility problems, although you should try it with your own sox if you have a more recent one.

Sound Studio is now "finished", but no doubt there are loads of bugs still to be found and features to be added.

GeoVISTA Studio is an open software development environment designed for geospatial data. GeoVistaStudio is a programming-free environment that allows users to quickly build applications for geocomputation and geographic visualization.
One barrier to the uptake of Geocomputation and Geovisualization is there is no system or toolbox that provides easy access to useful functionality. GeoVISTA Studio provides rapid, programming free development of complex applications for:
- data exploration
- knowledge construction
- geocomputation
- visualization
Studio Includes Interactive Query Devices for Exploratory GeoVisualization, 3D Render for complex and sophisticated 3D graphics, 2D mapping and statistical tools.
Studio provides a:
1. Visual Programming-Free Environment for rapid development.
2. Component-Oriented Programming: uses JavaBeans as programming components. Any JavaBeans (developed by 3rd parties) can be plugged in!
3. Recursive Development turns a developed application into a JavaBean component. Developed components (applications) are reusable (scalable), and developed components can be shared by other Studio users and/or java programmers.

picoSQL project is the first Italian Open Source relational database management system.
The project of picoSQL was born in 1995. It was an ODBC driver for COBOL indexed files. It consisted of a DLL written in C++ on Windows 3.1 operating system. In the beginning the main effort was made in order to obtain a good compatibity with existing front-end (mainly the MS-Access, MS-Query and VisualBasic) and in order to see COBOL files as a normalized relational DB.
The obtained success concurs to develop ulteriorly the product, refining the query optimizer and implementing an extended SQL, to exclusion of the DDL (Data Description Language). A later version, called PicoDB, were devoloped on UNIX system in client/server architecture.
PicoSql is released under GPL license; it derives from PicoDB (that remains a Picosoft proprietary product) with the addition of some SQL-DDL statement (CREATE/DROP TABLE(INDEX) and excluding COBOL files compatibility). The C/C++ library that allow the database access from C/C++ programs using the ODBC 2.5 API is released under LGPL license; this allows to link the library with programs that are not under GPL.
PicoSQL can be used from Windows applications (like MS-ACCESS, MS-Query, VB etc.) in client/server modality using the ODBC driver picoSQLNet. It can moreover be used from appropriate Java programs through the JDBC driver comprised in the distribution. Finally it can be used from programs written in C and C++ through its set of ODBC 2.5 compliant API.
PicoSQL lacks at the moment of some common characteristics to the most common RDBMS (like the schema and catalogue concepts and the management of the user permissions who can be obtained anyway using the permissions of the host operating system) but they are just these lacks to make it particularly simple to install and to use and fast in the logons and the queries.
Installation:
The installation is particularly simple: if you have the binary distribution, is sufficient to extract the compressed files in one directory ( under Windows NT/2000/XP) and execute:
startTestDb.sh (Unix/Linux)
PicoSQL consists fundamentally in a program, picosqld, to activate through inetd (or xinetd) or picoserv. In such a way it becomes a net service binded to a port, that is to a entire number comprised between 1 and 65535; this number (as an example 6789) must always be specified on the command line of picosqld. As an example:
picosqld 6789
For the activation with inetd (or xinetd), you must see the relative documentation. picoserv is a simple program that replaces inetd, mainly for scopes of test or debugging: its usage is the following:
picoserv [-f] commandLine portNumber
In our case the activation of picosqld can be obtained with the following command line:
picoserv "picosqld 6789" 6789
To notice as the port number is specified two times, as an argument of picosqld and as an argument of picoserv.
When picosqld receive a connection request, it reads a configuration file to find the necessary informations. This file is a text file on Unix/Linux systems.
# Unix/Lunixthe file read for configuration is
$HOME/.picosql.ini
or, if this file is missing
/etc/picosql.ini
The file consists of sections and parameters. A section begins with the name of the section in square brackets and continues until the next section begins. Sections contain attributes of the form
name=value
The file is line-based - that is, each newline-terminated line represents either a comment, a section name or a parameter. Section and parameter names are not case sensitive. Only the first equals sign in a parameter is significant. Any line beginning with a semicolon (;) or a hash (#) character is ignored, as are lines containing only whitespace. Each section corresponds to a database and comprises information like user, password and DB location. In the following example there are two database declared, the former called picoSqlTest, is accessible by anyone while the latter, called rubrica is accessible only by user pico giving the appropriate password.
[picoSqlTest]
DataDirectory=/home/test.db
[rubrica]
DataDirectory=/home/rubrica.db
User=pico
Password=soft
PicoOdbcTrace=NO
SuspensiveLock=YES
; for picosql client only
server=localhost
port=6789
Enhancements:
- This version fixes a problem on authentication and a bug when the connection fails.

Linux Video Studio is a simple/small application to make the capturing of video on MJPEG-hardware CODEC boards easier.
The application uses the MJPEG-tools, a set of programs to capture video and do lots of things with this. You need to have MJPEG-Tools installed before trying to install Linux Video Studio (also see installation notes) ! Linux Video Studio also uses the Xvideo extension in XFree 4.x to see what youre recording.
But that is not all. I want more than just capturing. My dream is to create one big application that does all the work at once. Not just one application for capturing, one for editing (xlav?), etc. No, my dream is to have one application doing it all. I hope Linux Video Studio can be part of that.
Installation:
You need Gtk to use this application. You also need the MJPEG-Tools installed. Besides that, you now also need an X-server with the Xvideo extension installed (i.e. you need XFree 4.x). In the XF86Config file, add the line Load "v4l" in the modules-section. Next, restart X (you must have the zoran drivers loaded before staring X, or the V4L-module wont work!). For some distros, you might have to install this module first (RedHat 7.0: you need the XFree86-V4L-.... RPM).
From source:
# tar -zxf linuxvideostudio-x.y.z.tar.gz
# cd linuxvideostudio-x.y.z
# ./configure
# make
# make install
From binary RPM:
# rpm --install linuxvideostudio-x.y.z-n.i386.rpm
You can also use GnoRPM or another convenience tool.
From Source RPM:
# rpm --rebuild linuxvideostudio-x.y.z-n.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
# rpm --install linuxvideostudio-x.y.z-n.i386.rpm
Enhancements:
- some GList related preferences save bugfixes
- bugfixes where the extension of a file (.mp2, .m1v) precedes the filename, but that path doesnt exist

PMD is a Java source code analyzer. PMD finds unused variables, empty catch blocks, unnecessary object creation, and more. PMD project includes CPD, a tool to detect chunks of identical code
PMD scans Java source code and looks for potential problems like:
- Possible bugs - empty try/catch/finally/switch statements
- Dead code - unused local variables, parameters and private methods
- Suboptimal code - wasteful String/StringBuffer usage
- Overcomplicated expressions - unnecessary if statements, for loops that could be while loops
- Duplicate code - copied/pasted code means copied/pasted bugs
PMD is integrated with JDeveloper, Eclipse, JEdit, JBuilder, BlueJ, CodeGuide, NetBeans/Sun Java Studio Enterprise/Creator, IntelliJ IDEA, TextPad, Maven, Ant, Gel, JCreator, and Emacs.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bug 1697397 - fixed false positives in ClassCastExceptionWithToArray
- Fixed bug 1728789 - removed redundant rule AvoidNonConstructorMethodsWithClassName; MethodWithSameNameAsEnclosingClass is faster and does the same thing.
