Linux coding/compiling under Linux

[r2d2]

Hi, i wanted to aks if someone can recommend me a nice development tool, like M$ Visual Studio that also works under Linux... or that can compile Linux binaries under windows... I know about Cygwin and so on... but i need makefiles to compile with them and i don't have any idea about how to write a makefile...

Thanks in advance

why dont u use the forum search? this has been discussed already also try to search google for "makefile", that should help.

ok, but because i know some flamers will flame me again if i dont write tips: if you search ide´s for linux: kdevelop,anjuta,eclipse,codeblocks

Well sorry GFX this time i really forgot that there's a nice button up there that can be very helpful... sorry
anyway... thx for the help

try anjuta, and configure it according to this tut:

http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... inux#29339

it's a very nice ide for linux

I use anjuta for editing but I write makefiles for compiling.... the trouble with makefiles is that
they can be very confusing(look at a few examples, you might find they look totally different)
but once you figure them out, its really easy.... I dont like using the anjuta project settings to
compile because I dont want to depend on one IDE, you never know when something better
comes along.....

when iam programming on linux (which does not occur very often since a. my ati is very slow and b. irrlicht´s linux support is not as advanced as windows support and c. i dont use linux much at the moment because of some non-supported hardware) i use a simple text editor (gEdit, it has cool features such as syntax highlighting) and a commandline with a selfwritten makefile to compile the project. thats all you need, i think linux ide´s are somehow confusing compared to just a texteditor and makefiles (its good to learn how to use makefiles anyway when you want to know linux a little better)

yup, Gfx has also got a point. It depends on how you like to work.

When I work with a text editor in linux, I like to use SciTe (scintilla text editor). It's Gtk based editor that recognizes and highlights almost every programming language out there, and it also has compile and build functions.

It's got both windows and linux versions, but the compiling options work better with linux's make files.

I'm using Anjuta and g++ 4.0
Since i'm working on Gnome I use Anjuta. But I have not tried the new 2.0 Release because I'm too lazy compiling it

you got a system with gcc 4.0 ? i tried to do a linux from scratch with gcc 4.0 but it does not want to compile glibc! that sucks! i was so upset about it that i installed my gentoo backup again

I'm using UbuntuLinux 5.04.
The new gcc is available in the universe repository.

I haven't read the whole thread but you can easily create Makefiles using cMake. Furthermore you might want to have a look at MinGW, which provides a nicely licenzed "linux" like environment.

I recomend using Kdevelop (my version is 3.2).
All you have to do is (taken from example make files) add

Code: Select all

 -I"<patch2irrlicht>/include" -I"/usr/X11R6/include" -L"/usr/X11R6/lib" -L"<path2irrlicht>/lib/Linux" -lIrrlicht -lGL -lXxf86vm -lXext -lX11 -lz -ljpeg

in project options (CXXFLAGS in compiler options). (also CXX option above should be set to g++)

Also code completion is working for Irrlicht (as many other) after adding include directory to Project Options->specific for C++ -> code completion

Nothing more I need to have comfortable enviroment! It's GREAT!
