Do you have a question about makefiles, a compiler or IDE you are using and need to know how to set it up for wxWidgets or why it doesn't compile but other IDE's do ? Post your questions here.

Best GUI for developing under Linux

Post by acsMike »

Hi everybody,
I am considering porting a few apps from Windows & Mac to Linux. Which would the best graphical development environment be to hook up GCC to? Emacs?How do people actually develop under Linux?

I am used with XCode and Visual C++... Is there something as "visual" under Linux?

Thanks for reading this stupid question ;-)

Well this is not quite related to wxWidgets :wink:

Well XCode and Visual C++ are IDEs... so you need to look for an IDE - there are many to choose from. Code::Blocks, Anjuta, KDevelop, many others

You can also just use a plain text editor + build system (makefile, scons, etc.)

Depending on your needs ;)

Thanks Auria. I'll have a look at those. They all look very good.

My all time favorite is using CMake for generating the project files. With the improved FindWxWidgets script they are using in Cmake 2.4+ this has become a breeze. With Cmake you can generate project files for:

- Makefile
- KDevelop3
- XCode (I believe)

And on windows a whole lot more.

So when I generate my Kdevelop3 workspace, I use that IDE to develop in wxWidgets under linux
