Title: Linux Development Software (23-Dec-1998)

Linux Development Software

IDEs

Integrated Development Environments generally have makefile generation and debugger frontends. Unix offers powerful programming utilities that = can be easily integrated with a text editor, so the line between editor a= nd IDE is very blurry. I'm making a somewhat arbitary distinction here.

     =20

• XWPE (C, C++, Pasc= al, FORTRAN)
. Designed after Borland's DOS IDE.
• RHI= DE (C, C++, Pascal, FORTRAN, Ada). An almost exact copy of Borland's= IDE.
• WipeOut (C++, Java, Eiffel, FORTRAN)
• C-Forge (many languages= ). An inexpensive commercial IDE with all the modern GUI niceties.

While the above will will do all the work of finding dependencies = in your C files, you should still learn how to use make. Here's= an= excellent tutorial on using make.

On a related note, here's an interesting article on "The Du= mbing Down of Programming."

Editors

• XEmacs and GNU Emacs. If you're willin= g to spend the time learning them, the best development environments avai= lable.
• JED, a light= weight but powerful text editor with support for several languages, synta= x highlighting, compile error parsing, and lots more.
• The VI Lover's Ho= mepage
• Code Crusader= (C, C++). Has a very nice class browser. This integrates with the Code Medic debugger = and is planned to be a fairly complete IDE.
• GRASP (Ada, C, C++, Java). Static Motif version.
=09
• Nedit. = Static Motif version and works with Lesstif. This and GRASP should be qu= ite comfortable for Windows users. See also Pman, a project manager that works with Nedit.
• FTE, a programmer's editor from the OS/2 world. Very fast.
• Paradigm Visual Make (= pvm). Not to be confused with the parallel computing package. This = is a sort of Visual C lite.

Summary: If you're coming from Windows try Nedit, GRASP or Code Crusader. If you're coming from DOS try FTE, RHIDE or XWPE. See also the commercial products below.

You can find binaries and source for some of the editors above = at Sunsite.<= /P>

Debuggers

=20

• DDD is one of t= he nicest gdb frontends. The page has many links to other debuggers. It= should work well with any of the editors above to provide a fairly compl= ete development environment. Static Motif version and works with Lesstif= .
=09
• Code Medic= , a visual gdb frontend that interfaces with Code Crusader.
• The unofficial UPS= page. UPS is a visual source-level debugger with a built in C inter= preter.
• SmartGDB= , a variant of GDB for multi-threaded programs.
• Patche= d gdb RPMs for use with LinuxThreads.
• Debugging Tools for Dynamic Storage Allocation and Memory Man= agement
=20

=20

Specialized environments and desktops

• Visual Tcl and = SpecTcl
• Squeak, a complete open=20 source Smalltalk-80 environment.
• VisualWorks, a Sma= llTalk environment available for Linux for non-commercial use.
• Minos, = a Forth environment.
• PTUI, a= Python IDE written and extendable in Python. Note that VIM and CoolEdit are also extendable with Python.
• TkPfw, a FORTRAN project manager.
• The gtk/GNOME Developer.
• KDE Developer's Library ha= s links to a number of Qt as well as KDE development tools.

Commercial products

=20
• Visual SlickEdit, a popular and featureful programmer's editor.
• Crisp, a Brief-like editor.
• Eiffe= l Bench environment for the Eiffel language. Personal version is $99= .
• Cygnus Source Navigator. =
• Metacard, a multimedia au= thoring tool.
• Edith Pro editor.
• Sniff+.
• Infodock= , a powerful IDE built atop Xemacs.
