Your development environment?

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-08-17 08:51:06

I have a questions to those who develop applications in C/C++ under Linux.

What kind of development environment are you using?

I am not really into kdevelop/anjuta, my project is using Makefile system, not autoconf.

I use vim for editing, so I need good terminal emulator. I need to work on many files at once, so good idea is to have fast-switching tabs in terminal.

I was using "terminal" package from xfce, but yesterday I realized that "gnome-terminal" is better - has same features and doesn't have terminal's bugs with fonts.

Most important development tools I use are: gdb and valgrind.

What are yours?

vim has tab support

SleepyDog · 2006-08-17 10:39:54

It would probably be a better idea for you to use a tabbed window manager like ion.

I don't want tab support in vim, I need few tabs to have few shells, for example to run application in one tab, edit it in 3 others and analyze output in another. It is possible in vim, but that's not good way to do it, and even authors of vim say that it is not supposed to work this way.

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-08-17 11:08:42

I know ion, but that's not a solution - I am developing OpenGL game engine, so I need to open/close X11 window while debugging, it doesn't work perfectly in ion.

What is so special in yakuake? I don't like KDE apps, the only one I use is kcachegrind.

Where can I find your Stjerm?

user · 2006-08-17 11:42:45

emacs(regular but special), vi(rarely), gedit(much), openldev(much), eclipse(very rarely use), gnome-terminal(too-much), freemind(regular), anjuta(very rarely), less(regular, ln -s less l )

Vim with like 10 or so nifty plugins (taglist, matchit, bufexplorer, misc omni-compl scripts, etc etc)

screen! There's nothing better.
See here: http://phraktured.net/screenshots/scree … 212502.png

This is hard to explain because I can't point at things. The top pane with the "ipy$" is a split from screen (the blue labels are the tab names). Below that split, vim is running, which has two tabs (see the grey bar at the top of the vim instance).

This is typically how I write python.

I have two vim plugins for these as well, though the valgrind one seems to have stopped working at some point. As for gdb, I'd recommend 'vimDebug'.

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-08-17 15:47:14

Are you using vimDebug? Because I tried to find any gdb integration plugin for vim and all were useless.

rab · 2006-08-17 16:34:53

vim for coding, glade for designing gtk apps

nogoma · 2006-08-17 16:49:08

vim (w/ requisite plugins (need to check out vimDebug, apaprently)), urxvt, screen, wmii/ion3 (yikes, the truth is out, ion3 is some nice business). Since I also use a wiki to track my projects and notes, I'll include swiftfox/w3m in here as part of my dev env

bboozzoo · 2006-08-17 19:53:33

For terminal mrxvt (really great tabbed terminal) supported by screen, for editing vim. I do not actually do any debugging unless I need to, then usually gdb/dbx comes into play. Most of the time traces provide enough info. For building nmake or make, depends on project. Versioning control either cvs or this stuff http://www.bell-labs.com/project/sablime/

Can you list your plugins? I only know taglist out of these.

sweiss · 2006-08-17 20:41:09

I don't develop that much on Linux, but for script writing I'm using Kate, and if I were to do anything more serious I would have probably used Eclipse.

Besides those that come with vim, I have:
a.vim
bufexplorer.vim
matchit.vim
project.vim
rainbow_parenthsis.vim
taglist.vim
vcscommand.vim (vcssvc.cim vcssvn.vim)
visual_studio.vim (on windows)
omnicppcomplete.vim
CRefVim

And maybe a few more... not to mention misc syntax files from vim.org

and, of course, these two:

pauldonnelly · 2006-08-18 08:56:21

I use Emacs for big jobs, but I tend to use Vim for quick stuff out of habit. If I'm not running X I use virtual terminals for a place to compile/look stuff up. In X, I'll run a few xterms, and I also run another one in Yeahconsole, which provides a drop-down Quake style console.

benplaut · 2006-08-18 09:04:47

urxvt for a terminal, screen running inside from session management and tabs.

That's what i use (but i don't do much serious coding)

SciTE. :-)

lang2 · 2006-08-18 23:59:18

Why not use gvim?

arooaroo · 2006-08-19 00:20:12

Nowadays the vast majority of my programming is in Python and Java.

For Python: gvim all the way (plus pyreb for regex testing - very useful)

For Java: Eclipse, although I've recently been experimenting with Netbeans, especially for anything with a GUI)

Machiavelli · 2006-08-19 14:22:42

gvim. for python.

:w
:!python <file>
repeat.

chrismortimore · 2006-08-26 20:50:47

I use kdevelop for large projects and vim for small things. I like kdevelop because it handles all the automake files and I'm lazy
