The Windows Version of Aptana Studio 3 features a nice unix-bash-like terminal. I wonder with which software this has been achived. win-bash, cygwin or something else? It would be useful to know which bash-features you can rely on.

I have Windows 7 Professional SP1, without any Visual C++ or Visual Studio. I have just installed MinGW. I download Qt installer "qt-unified-windows-x86-2.0.3-online.exe" and execute it, and I get a popup complaining that MSVCP120.dll is missing. I don't really insist on using MinGW as my compiler; I'd be enclined to download a free version of MS Studio if that will make the whole installation work, and allow me to build.
Where have I gone wrong? (Ah, I want to link a snippet of the popup error window, but I can't figure out how!)
I am working on a project developed in ADA on windows xp using GPS-GNAT 2006 and must port it to windows 7 however when trying to upgrade to a newer version of GPS-GNAT (2008+) the ada code throws exceptions, but on the 2006 version it runs but GPS-GNAT 2006 has issues with hitting breakpoints, opening the IDE, the open project button, etc. My question is are there known compatibility issues with Win7 and GPS-GNAT 2006? And what should be the best course of action to get this old code running on windows 7?
Thanks
You are mixing two things here: the GNAT compiler itself (for which you might be stuck with an older version indeed), and the GPS IDE, which you can upgrade independently of GNAT. As others have suggested, please upgrade to GPL 2015 for GPS, and keep the old compiler.
So, like many others I've found on the net, I have installed Qt (Qt 5.2.1 for Windows 64-bit (VS 2012, OpenGL, 553 MB)) and realized that I do not have the MSVC2012 compiler that was used to build this version of Qt.
I come here to ask, is it necessary to literally install the entire MSVC2012 IDE in order to get this version of Qt to work, or can I somehow just install the needed compiler? If so, where might that be available for download? I have done searches and cannot find just the compiler. I have found the compiler bundled with various other software that I do not think I need, but I do not want to go through great effort to find out that I made another mistake.
Alternatively, Qt compiled with minGW is also available, but only for 32 bit. I understand that some 32 bit programs will run on 64 bit machines, but how can you know for sure?
You can install Visual Studio 2012 Express which is free and contains the necessary compiler. After that, you have to also install Windows Kits to get the standalone debugger. Alternatively, you can install Windows 7.1 SDK which does not come with IDE but with compilers and debuggers. Windows 7.1 SDK correspond to Visual Studio 2010. But beware, Windows 7.1 SDK has many bugs, and I would not recommend it unless you are targeting Windows XP.
As for MinGW, yes you can also run 32bit programs on 64 bit, but I personally advise you against MinGW. Its integration with Windows is flaky, and its compile speed is far inferior to MSVC's.

Installation of Visual Studio On Linux Machine
I'm usually working with python/php and such, but now my professor demand me to work with Visual Studio 2010. Bad news is, I don't have a Windows OS, so -
Are there any options to get Visual Studio 2010 up and running on Debian/Ubuntu?
You can't run Visual Studio on Linux. You can run Mono Develop and create ASP.NET projects in it. It works pretty good.
Other alternative. Install Virtual Box, install Windows and then VS.
The best option is to use a virtual machine - the guest would be running Windows. Check DreamSpark - you may be able to get Windows Server 2008 R2 (and other software) for free if your school participates.
If you look at Wine, Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 are not doing very well, so that's not a real option at this time.
The mono project has a free C# IDE - Mono Develop, though it is not Visual Studio it is quite fully featured and supports ASP.NET development.
If you want to use Visual Studio you will have to install WINE (but do not think it's a good solution)

But you can also use the Mono Project

Or just install a Virtual Machine with a windows OS
You are free to choose what best suits your needs
Why does the intel compiler on Windows keep nagging about visual studio? I don't have visual studio and I don't want it!!! is that the only option I have??? I'm a Qt programmer who've been using MinGW as a compiler, and never needed Visual Studio. On Linux, the intel compiler is totally independent and doesn't need any other compilers to work. Could anyone please explain what's the deal with this Intel Compiler and why it's not standalone?
Please tell me what I should do to get it to work with Qt without Visual Studio.
Edit: To be clear about the problem, when I try to use icl.exe to compile some file, it gives me this error:
icl: error #10114: Microsoft Visual C++ not found in path
Thanks for any efforts! :-)
On no platform is the Intel C/C++ compiler standalone. It requires tools of various kinds on all platforms.
The official documentation actually does list the entire gcc toolchain as a system requirement on Linux. Additional libraries are required as well.
It just so happens that on Windows, these tools are bundled with Visual Studio. The free version is sufficient.
