[Ralf Hornbeck]

Hi,

which IDE (I prefer open-source or other free software, of course) would you
currently recommend for C++ development under W2K ?

Thanks !

I prefer Visual Studio .Net 2003, but it's neither open-source nor free, so
I'm afraid I can't really help you.

I liked Borland C++ Builder a lot - it's very intuitive and a great
RAD tool.....unfort unately it's not free either.

Have you tried Emacs? It's free software, and very good. It has
special modes for editing C++ (and most other programming languages).

1) Some suggestions (all free):
eclipse (I have never used it, never ever ever, lol, but i'm
thinking of trying it out)
vim (used it for just a little time, I can't say I loved it,
but it supports some/many languages)
RHIDE (I suggest that you NEVER use that, since it has some
memory leaks and stuff, I threw it away after 2-3 days)
jEdit (get this, it's really good, it supports many languages)

2) Move on to linux buddy... ;) There you can also use Kylix which is
for free and is a clone of Delphi (and C++Builder). I'm using that
atm, having some problems cuz of the patch but I can work well :D

Oh you could try Emacs on linux too, I've heard it's good but I've
never touched it :)

-

To tell you the truth for some time (for some months) I stopped
working with IDEs probably because I had changed my computer and was
too lazy to d/l an IDE (hehe). I worked just with KWrite (on Linux)
which I think is really close to an IDE...

-

BTW: If you ever join us in the Linux world, DON'T use KDevelop...
It's a pain in the ... butt. It adds many useless info and many files
and stupid things like that and takes forever to just create the
source file...


Hope that helps

Try the new series (3.x)... Seems they have gone some distance to eliminate
a lot of the unnecessary bloat. I agree 1.x series was just bad, and 2.x
was bloated/slow as hell.

emacs, cygwin, doxygen, and makefiles. Use the mingw toolchain to
avoid dependence on cygwin.dll. This makes projects nice and easy to
compile on either windows or UNIX.

Of course it's not GUI, but you can't beat it for flexibility.

....of course you might just want to cut windows out of the equation
all together.

Thanks, seems like 3.x is way better than my old 2.1 (it was SO annoying) :)

Hi, I am using windows 2000. Just wondering is there a windows version of
Emacs?

Thanks.
