REXX program that generates the original Ruby code again. ![Language Uroboros][langs] [langs]: https://raw.github.com/mame/quine-relay/master/langs.png (If you want to see the old 50-language version, see [50](https://github.com/mame/quine-relay/tree/50) branch.) ## Usage ### Ubuntu #### 1. Install all interpreters/compilers. If you are using Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn", you can perform the following steps: First, you have to type the following apt-get command to install all of them. $ sudo apt-get install afnix algol68g aplus-fsf asymptote \ ats-lang-anairiats bash bc bf boo bsdgames cduce clisp clojure1.4 \ cmake coffeescript dc ecere-sdk emacs23 erlang f2c falconpl \ fp-compiler fsharp g++ gambas3-script gap gauche gawk gcc gdc genius \ gforth gfortran ghc ghostscript gnat gnu-smalltalk gnuplot gobjc \ golang gpt gri groff groovy haxe icont iconx intercal iverilog \ jasmin-sable julia kaya libgd2-xpm-dev libpng12-dev lisaac llvm lua5.2 \ make maxima mlton mono-devel mono-mcs mono-vbnc nasm neko nickle ocaml \ octave open-cobol openjdk-6-jdk pari-gp parrot perl php5-cli pike7.8 \ python r-base ratfor regina-rexx rhino ruby2.0 scala scilab slsh \ spl-core swi-prolog tcl ucblogo valac xsltproc yorick zoem Then, you have to build the bundled interpreters. $ make -C vendor To run it on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, you might want to refer to `.travis.yml`. #### 2.

Report any problems as comments to the AUR package or to the respective packages, if one of the many compilers should have issues. ### Other platforms You may find [instructions for other platforms in the wiki](https://github.com/mame/quine-relay/wiki/Installation). If you are not using these Linux distributions, please find your way yourself. If you could do it, please let me know. Good luck. ## Tested interpreter/compiler versions I used the following Ubuntu deb packages to test this program. \# |language |ubuntu package |version ----|-------------------|-------------------|----------------------------------- 1 |Ruby |ruby2.0 |2.0.0.484+really457-3ubuntu1.2 2 |Scala |scala |2.9.2+dfsg-2 3 |Scheme |gauche |0.9.3.3-8ubuntu1 4 |Scilab |scilab |5.5.0-3ubuntu2 5 |Shell (bash) |bash |4.3-11ubuntu1 6 |S-Lang |slsh |2.2.4-17ubuntu1 7 |Smalltalk |gnu-smalltalk |3.2.4-2.1 8 |SPL |spl-core |1.0~pre6-4ubuntu1 9 |Standard ML |mlton |20100608-5.1 10 |Subleq |*N/A* |- 11 |Tcl |tcl |8.6.0+6ubuntu3 12 |Thue |*N/A* |- 13 |Unlambda |*N/A* |- 14 |Vala |valac |0.24.0-6 15 |Verilog |iverilog |0.9.7-1 16 |Visual Basic |mono-vbnc |3.0~pre20130627.4dcc70f-1 17 |Whitespace |*N/A* |- 18 |XSLT |xsltproc |1.1.28-2build1 19 |Yorick |yorick |2.2.03+dfsg-3ubuntu1 20 |Zoem |zoem |11-166-1ubuntu1 21 |A+ |aplus-fsf |4.22.1-6 22 |Ada |gnat |4.9ubuntu1 23 |AFNIX |afnix |2.2.0-2ubuntu1 24 |ALGOL68 |algol68g |2.4.1-1 25 |Ante |*N/A* |- 26 |Asymptote |asymptote |2.15-2build2 27 |ATS |ats-lang-anairiats |0.2.11-1 28 |Awk |gawk |1:4.1.1+dfsg-1 29 |bc |bc |1.06.95-9 30 |Befunge |*N/A* |- 31 |BLC8 |*N/A* |- 32 |Boo |boo |0.9.5~git20110729.r1.202a430-2 33 |Brainfuck |bf |20041219ubuntu5 34 |C |gcc |4:4.9.1-4ubuntu2 35 |C++ |g++ |4:4.9.1-4ubuntu2 36 |C# |mono-mcs |3.2.8+dfsg-4ubuntu2 37 |CDuce |cduce |0.6.0-1 38 |Chef |*N/A* |- 39 |Clojure |clojure1.4 |1.4.0+dfsg-3 40 |Cobol |open-cobol |1.1-1build1 41 |CoffeeScript |coffeescript |1.4.0-1 42 |Common Lisp |clisp |1:2.49-9ubuntu1 43 |D |gdc |4.9.1-4ubuntu2 44 |dc |dc |1.06.95-9 45 |eC |ecere-sdk |0.44.10-0ubuntu1 46 |Emacs Lisp |emacs23 |23.4+1-4.1ubuntu1 47 |Erlang |erlang |1:17.1-dfsg-4ubuntu2 48 |F# |fsharp |3.0.34+dfsg-5 49 |Falcon |falconpl |0.9.6.9-git20120606-2.1 50 |FALSE |*N/A* |- 51 |Forth |gforth |0.7.2+dfsg1-1 52 |FORTRAN77 |f2c |20100827-1 53 |Fortran90 |gfortran |4:4.9.1-4ubuntu2 54 |Gambas script |gambas3-script |3.5.4-2ubuntu1 55 |GAP |gap |4r7p5-1 56 |GEL (Genius) |genius |1.0.17-1 57 |Gnuplot |gnuplot |4.6.5-10 58 |Go |golang |2:1.2.1-2ubuntu1 59 |G-Portugol |gpt |1.1-2ubuntu1 60 |Gri |gri |2.12.23-8 61 |Groovy |groovy |2.0.0~beta2+isreally1.8.6-4ubuntu1 62 |Haskell |ghc |7.6.3-19 63 |haXe |haxe |1:3.0.0~svn6707-4 64 |Icon |icont |9.4.3-4.2ubuntu1 | |iconx |9.4.3-4.2ubuntu1 65 |INTERCAL |intercal |29:0.29-3 66 |Jasmin |jasmin-sable |2.4.0-4 67 |Java |openjdk-6-jdk |6b33-1.13.5-1ubuntu1 68 |JavaScript |rhino |1.7R4-3 69 |Julia |julia |0.2.1+dfsg-3 70 |Kaya |kaya |0.4.4-6.2 71 |Lazy K |*N/A* |- 72 |Lisaac |lisaac |1:0.39~rc1-1 73 |LLVM asm |llvm |1:3.5-23ubuntu1 74 |Logo |ucblogo |5.5-2.1 75 |LOLCODE |*N/A* |- 76 |Lua |lua5.2 |5.2.3-1 77 |Makefile |make |4.0-8 78 |Maxima |maxima |5.33.0-14 79 |MSIL |mono-devel |3.2.8+dfsg-4ubuntu2 80 |NASM |nasm |2.11-1 81 |Neko |neko |2.0.0-3 82 |Nickle |nickle |2.77-1 83 |Objective-C |gobjc |4:4.9.1-4ubuntu2 84 |OCaml |ocaml |4.01.0-4ubuntu1 85 |Octave |octave |3.8.1-1ubuntu1 86 |Ook! |*N/A* |- 87 |PARI/GP |pari-gp |2.7.1-1 88 |Parrot asm |parrot |6.3.0-1 89 |Pascal |fp-compiler |2.6.4+dfsg-3 90 |Perl |perl |5.20.1-1 91 |PHP |php5-cli |5.5.12+dfsg-2ubuntu4.1 92 |Piet |*N/A* |- 93 |Pike |pike7.8 |7.8.866-3 94 |PostScript |ghostscript |9.14~dfsg-0ubuntu3 95 |PPT (Punched tape) |bsdgames |2.17-22 96 |Prolog |swi-prolog |6.6.4-2ubuntu1 97 |Python |python |2.7.8-1 98 |R |r-base |3.1.1-1 99 |Ratfor |ratfor |1.0-15 100 |REXX |regina-rexx |3.6-2 Note that some languages are not available in Ubuntu (marked as *N/A*).
