Linux Dev Env

Post by sjs191 »

I really _dont_ want to start a desktop environment, vi vs emacs flame war or anything here, but I'm curious as to what tools the Linux users on the exult team use for developing. Do you guys use KDevelop? Some other IDE? A regular editor and 'make'? I'm going to be doing some C++ work under Linux and so I wanted to find out what's good.

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, I did a (quick) forum and FAQ search..

Thanks.

I've always been partial to NEdit as a good programmer's editor. I don't think many Linux developers use a regular IDE for development.

KDevelop3, vi, kwrite, make, I think that's all. *grin* Used quite a few IDEs before kdevelop and found them all to be singularly deficient in essential ways (keybindings to switch between source files for one...)

I like to user vim (www.vim.org) with ctags, i 've been used to it
emacs is also very powerfull (because it has lisp)
but you can use whatever makes you coding more comfortable

console editors for linux:
vi(elvis, vim) pico, emacs, joe, mcedit and many others
also take a look at ctags (man ctags)

Finally always use makefiles for easyier compiles
(if you want to learn making good makefiles learn to write autoconf
scripts)

hope i helped you

ps: (i am not part of the exult development team but i am used to write C programms)

Also emacs and make here, along with extensive use of gdb:-) Emacs is a pain to learn, but you only need to know about 1% of it to find it useful.
