Install development packages for syllabus languages #26

Closed benjaoming closed 6 years ago

benjaoming commented 6 years ago

Now part of the Form 3 and Form 4 syllabus in Malawi:

Fortran, C, C++, Java, Pascal, COBOL

Visual Basic if possible... through WINE or Mono

benjaoming commented 6 years ago

Fortran

This is very easily solved by adding the gfortran package, it's for Fortran 95.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Fortran

Java

The perhaps easiest IDE for Java is Netbeans -- but I have no idea how to find a resource for a secondary school kid for Java, it's so bloated :/

C and C++

It's difficult, let's include gcc, but have to come up with some resource that introduces how to use an editor and a command line for compiling and running a program.

Netbeans for Java is also useful, see: https://tutorialforlinux.com/2015/01/04/netbeans-8-x-ide-for-cc-quick-start-with-hello-world-project-example-easy-visual-guide/

Pascal

lazarus is an IDE for Free Pascal, running on Ubuntu.

COBOL

open-cobol is the package (the project is now called Gnu COBOL), again should write a guide introducing how to write and compile a program. Compiler command is cobc See: https://askubuntu.com/questions/287180/how-to-compile-and-run-a-cobol-program

BlueJ might be a good IDE for teaching. It was used at the university of Ghent in the past.
