Personally, I'm more than happy with XEmacs, a few homebrew scripts to automate some of the process, and the good ol' makefile.
This might be a little off-topic, but then again it's a matter of finding what's out there that I can run on FC2.
At the moment I'm doing some C programming of simulations for the mathematics problems we're looking at.
So the projects aren't huge, and not aimed at multi-desktop/OS compatibility. Currently they utilise
a collection of source/include files, and bring them together with a single hand-written makefile. No use of
gtk or qt - they use either the EFL (enlightenment libraries) or Glut for window management.
All I'm looking for is an IDE which can bring these together and allow me to point it at the makefile I wish
to use for compilation purposes (saves me having 10 vim windows open at once).
I had a look at Kdevelop and Anjuta, but creation of any sort of project seems to run off and automate a
procedure that sets up links, configure scripts, multiple makefiles - none of which I need. If you do any
programming on FC, what do you use for small programs that aren't on the scale of kde or gnome applications?
Or is there a way to force kdevelop or anjuta to do what I'm looking for?
Thanks, Daniel Stonier.
But in terms of true development environments, I'd highly recommend Eclipse. If you haven't heard, Eclipse is a highly extensible development environment originally devloped by IBM, who gave it to the FOSS community. There's a slew of plugins out there, from a standard C environment with syntax highlighting to an Acme architecture modeling/visualization environment. In addition, plugin development/extension is pretty easy.
