Programming under Linux

ColdFusion · Post by **ColdFusion** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 7:37 pm

What tools do you use to program under Linux? I'm not asking about the compiler (gcc) I can live with it being command line. But the actuall enviroment. Kylix? KDeveloper? Are they any good, can they compile Ogre?
I'm useing VC++ 6 on windows, can you point me to a simmilar program for Linux? Or do I have to use a simple text editor?

Anjuta and KDeveloper are both suited for work on and with Ogre. Every IDE that can use gcc as a compiler should be usable.

Anjuta has the beginner's bonus in that there is a mini tutorial for compiling/using Ogre with it.

You can find it here.

Thanks alot!

I'll defenetly try Anjuta since It seems to look like VC++ from what I can see from the screenshots. And it's for GTK/Gnome which is what I use and want to program for.
Thank you again for the fast reply.

gvim all the way on all platforms! Ok, so it's not necessarily a complete IDE, but eh.

I'm moving this into Back to Basics.

I've tested Anjuta and Eclipse. The first (Anjuta) is fair and has all the bell and whistles of an IDE; the second is impressive with a huge amount of plugins and tools.

In the end, I reverted back to my much-customized emacs for programming and Eclipse for browsing other's code (the browse mode is really good).

Since this IS back to basics and I have seen this question asked before:

How is gvim/emacs/Anjutas code completion feature in conjunction with Ogre?

Is code completion really that useful anyway?

Sorry for the wrong forum

For people that aren't familiar with ogre (like me) i think it's an easy way to get in fast.

Ever since I began to use VC+VisualAssist I can't imagine switching back. This feature helps a lot, especially when you're working with lots of large projects which you don't know by heart already.

Yeah, VC++ with Visual Assist is excellent. It's one of the only things that's keeping me using Windows at the moment

One of the main features for vim7 is a nice intellisense system, so we'll see how that turns out.
