I have a p2 400MHz with 8GB hard drive and 128MB memory.
I am thinking about doing a little cross platform compiling, and wondered as to the simplest basic Linux version that is recommended.
I considered using MinGWStudio for Linux, but it looks dead, and so would also like to know what IDE's are suggested for Linux work.
For Windows I am currently using wx-DevCpp http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ by Guru Kathiresan. I am currently beta testing version 6.4 and this thing rocks. If it was capable of creating seperate debug and release profiles that would be great, but as it is, for a free of charge product it is really good. If there was something like this for Linux then I don't think that I would look too far further.
So what are your suggestions, I don't want to have Linux and Windows on the same machine, so I am really looking for a low system requirements version of Linux, but one that would let me play around a little with wx Programming.
Minimum Linux Needed?
Hi!
Have fun!
Glad to hear that since Guru and I had some problems getting it work with 2.5.3For Windows I am currently using wx-DevCpp http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ by Guru Kathiresan. I am currently beta testing version 6.4 and this thing rocks.
I guess your setup should be fine. Have a look at mingw for cross-compiling for windows targets. But be warned: It might be slow during compilation.I am thinking about doing a little cross platform compiling, and wondered as to the simplest basic Linux version that is recommended.
IMHO anjuta (http://www.anjuta.org) is the best free IDE on linux. It does have support for wxWidgets.I considered using MinGWStudio for Linux, but it looks dead, and so would also like to know what IDE's are suggested for Linux work.
Go ahead and try it out. For GTK only compilation it should be fine, for cross-compiling it might be slow but should work.So what are your suggestions, I don't want to have Linux and Windows on the same machine, so I am really looking for a low system requirements version of Linux, but one that would let me play around a little with wx Programming.

Care to elaborate? I am wrestling with the menu construction at the moment, but even with its bugs I am glad it's in there.upCASE wrote:Hi!Glad to hear that since Guru and I had some problems getting it work with 2.5.3For Windows I am currently using wx-DevCpp http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ by Guru Kathiresan.

Which distribution is best for such a (by todays standards) modest system?

Hi!
I'm using Fedora Core 2 here and it works just fine (even in Virtual PC after some hacking). Gentoo seems to be very popular, too.
What seems to be the problem with menus? If it's a specific problem better open a new thread instead of posting it here.
When compiling I'd recommend to do at least two builds of the lib. One with GTK 1.x support, one with GTK 2.
Good question...NinjaNL wrote:Which distribution is best for such a (by todays standards) modest system?

No need, I post everything to the bugtracker at Sourceforge. That was just a throw away comment.
