Can somebody tell me how I can configure Xilinx ISE with ModelSim on linux?
As ModelSIM only comes for windows but is there a way to do configuration in Linux (using wine etc)?
I found this workaround:

Seems like it's a lot of work to use Modelsim, but if you really don't like Xilinx ISE simulator it might be worth it.

I want to create apps for iOS. I make games in C++ and SFML, so I decided to use Objective C after further research. I can't find any windows IDE's, so I came here. What am I supposed to code in?
You can install macOS on a virtual machine like virtual box or VMware.
Here is a tutorial to install the virtual machine: tutorial
Yeah unfortunately the only way to create iOS apps is through MacOS. You'll have to get your hands on a Mac.
I hav tried to work with a virtual machine on linux and it was not easy to set-up. Ultimately, an iSO development project can take hundreds of hours of coding time, and you will rely a lot on the stability of your system. So why starting from an inperfect arragment?
The cheap way to start is to buy an Apple mini. It's cheap and it will get you started. You can move to faster Mac later on when you are sure you are committed to finish the project.
What am I supposed to code in?
The short answer is "Mac OS." Some people build a "hackintosh" (A PC running Mac OS) and build their iOS apps on that, but that is a violation of Apple's copyrights and developer agreements.
You can also run Mac OS as a virtual OS, but with the same legal issues.
You can try Xamarin. Now belongs to Microsoft and I believe it’s part of Visual Studio. It should be able to export projects for both iOS and Android. But I haven’t used it myself, so I can’t confirm for sure.
I wanted to learn Lua so I bought a book. The problem I'm having is finding a compiler/interpreter. I downloaded the binary compiler for Windows from http://luadist.org/ (Windows x86 (MinGW32 4.7.1)). But every time I try to start it up I just says:
The program can't start because lua53.dll is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
Which I did several times to no avail. I've tried to find another compiler but this seems to be the only one... which I find hard to believe. There are "demo" compilers but I want one I can install so I can do the examples in the book. There are instructions on how to "compile" the compiler at the Lua site on Linux and Mac machines but I'm working on a Windows machine.
Any help?
ZeroBrane Studio is the best for Lua. It works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It was specifically designed for beginners, but it a full featured IDE for writing and debugging Lua code.

Be sure to try the "Run as Scratchpad" feature which provides a "live-coding" experience.
I am looking to set up a VM running openVMS if there is a free version or possibly freeVMS? I essentially want to set up a VMS environment with the EVE and EDI editors.
I run a Mac so I'd like to set it up on that, I could sort out a PC if necessary but I'd rather not.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

If you are not going to use OpenVMS commercially you can get free licenses from here. They will also provide you with access to downloadable media once you register.
The only free emulator I'm aware of that runs on OS X is the VAX emulator in SIMH. See the SIMH github project.
There are various Alpha emulators; most assume a Windows host, though I think there is now one that runs on Linux.
You can use a virtual machine running Windows XP on MAC OS X, and install PersonalAlpha (by Stromasys) in there. All you need then are the OpenVMS Hobbyist Licenses and media to install from.
BTW, these are the free Alpha emulators running on Windows I know about:
PersonalAlpha by Stromasys
FreeAXP by Migration Specialties
For linux:
AXPNCE by Stromasys
Commercial Alpha (and VAX) emulators:
vtAlpha by AVTware. This is basically a modified Linux with an Alpha emulator. They have no plans for a free version for non-commercial use.
Avanti and AvantiFlex by Migration Specialties.
Charon AXP products by Stromasys
I'd like to start using emacs but I want also a GUI in which it will be available in windows, ubuntu linux (desktop) and mac osx. Is GNU/Emacs capable for this? What other choices are there and how different is for each OS?
Also is there any disadvantages of using emacs with gui (for example, I can't use some kind of widgets or use something else) and how most other programmers prefer to use emacs? I want to use it as a replacement for textmate for ruby on rails development, any other suggestions?
Emacs has a native GUI version of GTK+(GNOME's toolkit), OSX with Cocoa from Emacs 23+(there is used to be Carbon Emacs before that, but it's now en route to oblivion) and Windows version.
I personally use emacs in daemon mode(emacs --daemon) and use emacslient to connect terminal and X clients to the daemon. I spend most of the time in a X frame though, I find that much more productive - instead of running Emacs in a terminal like many people do, I run my terminal in Emacs. I don't used menus/toolbars - just a naked frame most of the time, split into many windows.
For rails development with Emacs you should have a look at rinari and nxhtml.
Yes. There is a Windows version of emacs, and you can use the X-windows interface on both linux and OS X. There are also several different versions with native OS X GUIs.
Emacs is essentially a terminal-based program; there are no real disadvantages to having it running in a nice window, and the advantage of using mouse clicks and the menus.
It appears that NetBeans and Aptana/RadRails are the most common adopted IDE's for Ruby on Rails development, but both needs the Java Runtime Environment to run.
I'm looking for an IDE wich doesn't need JRE to run. If it is lightweight and installs very fast would be better, because I will be programming in computers with old hardware and Windows XP.
Do you know any? Thanks a lot.
Maybe E?
I am a big fan of SciTE and the command line.
Actually I would say that Vim paired with rails.vim is amongst the most popular editors for Rails. Vim, gVim and Cream are all available for Windows.
Learning curve is massively steep, but its worth it.
Also, if you are doing any serious Rails work, development on Windows sucks. It takes way too long to spin up a script/console or a web. Tooling is much better on Linux. When I'm doing Rails work on my Windows box I do it on an Ubuntu VM.
Komodo Edit is one of the best IDEs I've ever used, and it has Rails support (although maybe not as good as Aptana/RadRails). If you have money to spare, I'd highly recommend Komodo IDE, as it has some great extra features, but if not, Komodo Edit has everything you need. As for speed, it's slow to start up but after that it's as fast as any other "lightweight" editor you've used.
What about the editor that comes with ruby-one-click for windows? Would it work? (the one written in ruby).
There is also gvim or vim if you are feeling adventurous.
JetBrains RubyMine
I did not use this program, but "System Requirements" did not indicate requirements for Java Runtime Environment in Windows version.
