[ale] C Compiler for Linux

[David Hillman]

There are a whole lot of ways to go about this.  If you are doing low-level
C stuff, GNU C/C++ compiler is perfect, along with Make files.  If you want
an IDE to do more complicated stuff with unit testing and such, Netbeans IDE
with the C/C++ plugin is fine.

Android code is Java, but the build/test environment is what makes it
stranger than just plain Java.  All the same, some people just use Ant to
build and the Android SDK from Google to build.  Personally, I use the free
version of IntelliJ IDE just because I don't think mobile development is any
fun when stuck doing everything manually.

iOS code is Objective-C, but you'll have a hard time doing anything without
the entire Cocoa/Cocoa Touch and the lower level NextStep (NS) Foundation
Object libraries.  Gotta get a Mac to avoid pulling your hair out there.

I still believe Google should've gone with a good C++ development
environment for Android.  At least they would've avoided getting sued by
Oracle (IBM 2?).  Good luck.
