I was just wandering, or rather wondering what everyone who develops under Linux uses for there IDE, or what they use to develop using Irrlicht under linux???

If im correct I think Linux has an intergrated GCC or MinGW Compiler. Not sure what its called but maybe gcc.exe

It has GCC, and its not a win32 PE (gcc.exe)...
There are IDEs like anjuta or kdevelop, but most preffer to use simple editors such as VI

I've started using anjuta and it works fine.... follow this tut on how to set it up:

I've been taught how to use gcc, just wondering whether anybody used an IDE?? Such as Kylix... I'll look at that link this afternoon, cheers afecelis....

I dont use any ide (as long as vim isn't an ide

), but you could use Anjuta, as said before, or Kdevelop, or eclipse, or maybe kylix or emacs

IIRC, kylix is dead (from dev-cpp forums), so basically you are wasting your time using it, besides its the linux port for delphi, not c++

IMHO, anjuta is the best out there, although Ive seen eclipse for win32 and it looks just great, so I think the linux version must be as good.
Kdevelop is something I hate because of the bunch of crap files it creates even for a small project, but havent use it since the mandrake 8.2 days, so I dunno how has it improves over years...

It still creates the million crap files for everything.

Best way to go is anjuta; after you set the paths properly you simply right click on it and tell it to "open with" anjuta and then simply hit F11 to buiild the file and F3 if you want to run it. Also remember to emerge/download GDB as a debugger.

still gotta check Eclipse. It's very powerful as well.

Cool, only planning to port to linux in a couple of weeks if I have time, cheers for the advice

EDIT: Eyes aren't open & I can't spell...

Also, check out this thread (you will see most linux programmers still like to do things in VI or such console editor, rather than using IDEs)

From your link, Visitor:
MinGW studio looks very nice (pretty much like MSVC6.0). I'm still trying to get proper lib and include folders to work properly, but I started with 76 errors and now I'm down to 1! something about:"undefined reference to `createDevice'"

download for linux:
http://petra.hos.u-szeged.hu/~aking/www ... .98.tar.gz

I liked it, it's very fast and friendly. If someon figures out how to add the proper fodlers for Irrlicht please let us know!!!

FREEZE!!!! pelao. Dontcha ever think of using it, it looks great, it WAS great, even had a resource editor IIRC, but unfortunately, it has been discontinued a zillion years ago (well, not that much), as you can see, the parinya website doesnt even exists but youre even linking to a mirror.... Its likely pointless to try to develop in something sooo old and that will never be updated.... sad but true

gotcha visitor! you're a native spanish speaker!!!

o me equivoco, pelao?

heheheh

anyway, thnx for the tip! I'll remove it immediately

then anjuta it is. I've never been able to set up Kdevelop.

cya around chaval!

ps. Why do always things that look great are not meant to be touched?

One word to afecelis : Cali.
In the other hand,Eclipse seems to be really good too, worth a try, thouhg the download may be big (~80 Mb) and plus you need the JDK,. I already installed on my Linux box, and it looks great
