Hi Maxim,
that seems like a rather broad questions to ask. I could say:
Build tool: make
Build environment: vim
framework: gcc compiler collection (c, c++, fortran, etc.)
You should search the Debian archives which contains 16,000+ packages. In
there you will find many tool, languages and toolkits: perl, ruby,
python, php, lisp, ada, etc. There is even m$-compible c# mono and Sun
java compatible tools. There are gtk, qt, athena widgets, gnustep and
more. Debian also has tools that its developers use to make Debian
software in both a manual and automated fashion.
Hello Kevin,
Following your suggestion I'll focus my question further.
What do you want to build with this? web apps, embedded software,
console tools for system administraion or ? A simple set of programs for
a computer class project?
We're aiming to develop C based software, both console and embedded.
The development IDE of choice is SlickEdit, code repository is
obviously subversion. Everything else is changeable.
What I'm looking for is a method to ease the life of my developers and
enhance the development process; I want them to be able to custom
compile features of their code using some form of tags / switches. I
want them to be able to easily compile their code against other open
source libraries we're using. I want them to not be needing to have
the knowledge of compiling a Linux kernel. I'm talking about
automation the "messy" development details so that developers could
concentrate on writing code.
I've been looking at several different projects for the various tasks
outlined above, attached as links at the end of this message. What I'm
asking of d-u is for tips, links, references and anything else that
might apply to such setup as I've never done anything such as this
before. I should also note that the development / production
environment is not entirely Debian based, there are RH machines as
well and more are probably to appear as needed.
Following is a list of FOSS projects I've been looking into, most of
them are looked up via Google (i.e. not all are .deb packaged).
