Equivalent for Visual Basic

[Thong_Ispector]

Is there an equivalent to Visual Basic for Linux.

Is there a cross compiler that will take my old source codes?

Interesting one..

Your best bet is to try something like this:

You can also try Eclipse, I know they have c compilers, I would figure they have plugins for Visual Basic. I use it mostly for Java and PHP.

But I know a people who use real basic and like it also.

"Gambas" is the closest equivalent, If you know delphi, you may be able to still get Kylix to work as well. For a simple project you could write a bash script and use kdialogs (assuming your using KDE).
