JUCE is used in particular for its GUI and plug-ins libraries. It has a dual license under GPLv3 and a commercial license.
The purpose of JUCE is to allow software to be written in such a way that the same source code compiles and runs identically regardless of platform.
Supports multiple development environments and compilers.

As said, the source code is available on GitHub. In other words, you can download it and compile it directly on your machine. Make sure you have the required dependencies(in this case for GNU/Linux distributions).
