I saw this project https://github.com/strace/strace. (is that the best project for strace?)
And I have gcc cross compiler for Arm Linux.
How can I compile it for Arm Linux?
I look here https://github.com/strace/strace/tree/master/linux/arm but I didn't find Make file
The specifics for building strace from source will depend on:
a) your particular Linux,
b) your particular toolchain, and
c) your strace source.
Take a look at this article: it should get you pointed in the right direction:
Cross compiling for ARM with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
See also https://strace.io/. It points to exactly the same the GitHub source tree you cited: https://github.com/strace/strace. It also gives you detailed information, and links to mailing list sand an IRC channel for additional help.
Finally:
Be sure to read the README* file(s)!
Usually the first thing you need to do is run ./configure. This generates a Makefile which is tailored to your configuration

I know this is probably a super silly question, but how do I install on my pc open source programs that I find here on github.
By installing I mean directly from the source code, and not by going on some external website and downloading the file from there.
I know I'm a noob, just go easy on me please
Github page of the program will generally show README file, and it would contain instructions on how to install this program. Sometimes you can find the instructions in wiki pages for this project.
There is no one general way to install something from github, it really depends on the software you are looking at.
Quite often, especially if it is a big project and is written in low level language, the main installation step is entering commands
./configure
make
make install
in your terminal, but this is only one of the different installation procedures.

I am able to build Erlang from source, and also ran the tests shipped with the source followed the instructions documented at https://github.com/erlang/otp/wiki/Running-tests. I am seeing about 900 failures out of a total of 11000 test cases, however, the failures are not very appealing to me in terms of:
Is there a nightly build for Erlang/OTP showing the success rate?
Are they expected to fail on this platform (in my case, it's x86
linux)?
If they are not known issues, how can I find out if
there are pull requests or bug reports associated to them?
Thanks!
There are no nightly builds.
As far as I know, the tests should be passing on your machine. Perhaps something is misconfigured?
Pull requests are on GitHub: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pulls and there is an erlang-bugs mailing list: http://erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-bugs. Here is a wiki page on Erlang bug reports: https://github.com/erlang/otp/wiki/Bug-reports

Assuming you already have Visual Studio, then seems this Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS) is a better choice in debugging.
Sometimes, Pydev's debugging will never hit certain breakpoints and just hang(the python native PDB still works), while PTVS works for such scenarios.
Pydev is maintained by 1 man while PYVS is by a team (with commercial interest), so can I say the latter will be better supported?
You can learn more about PTVS debugging in their documentation. If you are willing to use the 2.0 Beta release, then you also get mixed mode debugging. MMD is only one of a handful of features PTVS supports. PTVS also has full breakpoint support, local inspection, watch windows, immediate window, remote debugging, and a debug interactive window.

I am a beginner in programming and I decided to take the Stanford online Intro to Programming Methodology course (cs106a). I followed the instructions and unzipped the Eclipse files onto my computer. When I tried to open it, it said "An error has occurred, see log file. " I am not sure how to fix this and I really want to learn this program. I searched other similar questions and only one was found and the suggested solution was to set environmental variables. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that.
How can I get Eclipse running?
There could be numerous possibilities.
But first start with these.
(1) Are you using a 32 or 64 bit computer? Then you must use the Eclipse that is designed for your system.
(2) Do you have JDK installed? It's on Oracle website.
(3) Is your OS in good shape? As in did you or other programs mess around registry?
Hope this helps.

Essentially, I have an interesting Perl script that I want to put on Github / other places that I want to be re-distributable but I do not want anyone compiling it and then redistributing it (yes I know the source would be included with certain licenses - but I don't want it to ever be compiled at all).
Those who can figure out how to use CPAN, etc, to set it up - I want them to be able to use it and redistribute it in source format but is there a way of restricting the compilation and then redistribution. I only want to allow users to redistribute in source.
Your requirements are at odds with each other. The first step of running a Perl 5 program is compiling. Your best bet is the GPLv3, it requires anyone who distributes a compiled version to also provide a method to retrieve the source.
Most of the methods of making a binary out of a Perl 5 script (which I think you are confusing with compiling) aren't actually compiling. They are packaging. The source is still present in the binary and is compiled at run-time by an included copy of the perl binary.
