I'm looking for a good C/C++ IDE on GNU/Linux. I need to develop my
application on RedHat Linux 7.x, 8.0 and 9.0 and I would like to use the
same IDE.

I known CodeWarrior (http://www.metrowerks.com) because I've already used it
on Mac OS and Windows. I find it very good.
Does CodeWarrior 6.0 for Linux work on all RedHat distributions (7.x, 8.0
and 9.0) ?
Does it use the GNU tools (gcc, gdb, make) ?
I can't find any demo version. Does someone know where I could find one ?

Is there any problems using CodeWarrior ?
The current version (6.0) is old (3 years old). Does it mean that this
product will not be supported anymore ? I find it a little strange that
since 3 years there is no updates...

Does someone know other good professional C/C++ IDE which runs on all RedHat
distributions ?

Thank you.

Following are "typical" IDEs, working with gcc/gdb/..

Anjuta [GNOME/Gtk based] http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/
KDevelop [KDE/Qt based] http://www.kdevelop.org/

Kylix: C/C++ & Delphi, Borland's own compiler, open version is free
for non-commercial use
http://www.borland.com/kylix/index.html


Unix-styled IDEs: (Far more powerful, but learning curve is ...)

Vim http://www.vim.org
XEmacs http://www.xemacs.org

If you don't mind to pay $$, here is an excellent commercial IDE:
http://www.codeforge.com/

Its editor is decent (unlike most of other IDEs), and the project
management is very good, and it supports several version control
systems (not only CVS/RCS), and many programming languages, etc.

Try Borland Kylix 3. You can download the open edition for free after
registration. Of course other alternatives are there such as GNOME
Anjuta, KDE Develop, but they are far from mature yet.

Yes I know they have successfully been installed and used on all of
them. I think with RH 9 the the package aren't right and you might
have to do a manual install. Also you might need to write to me to get
new GCC adaptor and Java debugger plugins for newer versions of GCC and
Java

>Does it use the GNU tools (gcc, gdb, make) ?

It uses gcc I think you have the option of gdb or another version they
are launched from the IDE. You can import make files but it is an IDE

>I can't find any demo version. Does someone know where I could find one ?

I don't know of any demo versions but write me we could probably give
you a 30 day money back trial period if there isn't anything.

>Is there any problems using CodeWarrior ?

I have an update you may want to get

Basically I have the updates since it is gcc compiler/linker/library
there isn't a lot we would do. It is a simple design that works. I
support it on the codewarrior.linux newsgroup or if I see something
here. I have the updates because in order to pass QA it takes a lot of
time. If I just give them out (unofficially) it avoids the headache.

Codeforge is good alright. It worked fine for me under Mandrake 9.0.
But be warned, under Mandrake 9.1, I could not get it to run because
the licence server for it won't work. I get 'Can't connect
to the License Server' messages whenever I start codeforge.
I've been in contact with Codeforge for several weeks on this issue,
I've tried all their suggestions, but still no luck.
Under Mandrake 9.1, the 'domainname' command returns '(none)', but
under Mandrake 9.0 it returns 'localdomain'. This seems to prevent
the license server from working properly.
If anybody has a fix for this issue, I'd love to hear it.

John.

From my own experience, I can recommend Visual SlickEdit
http://www.slickedit.com. We are using that IDE for C++ development
under different version of Linux dist. (RH8, RH9, debian 3)

I have CodeWarrior for Linux. I had gotten it about 2 years ago. It's not
good. First of all it didn't install out of the box. When I called
techsupport they refused to support it on the telephone even though the
website had said the offered phone support for the Linux product. The IDE
is not very good at all - I hate it. Slickedit is very nice. But if you
want a really good and free IDE, I suggest sticking with kdevelope or
anjuta.

Cheers,


Storm.

There should have been release notes for it, the problem with the
installer was the wrong rpm or something like that.

That should never have happened, unless it wasn't a registered version.
There was a give away a few years ago at a trade show and those were not
supported by normal channels. (only on our newsgroups) Unless you were
registered they probably thought you had that version. I apologize if
this was the case.

Thanks for letting me know about your problems. I'm sorry we didn't
satisfy your needs.

Try eclipse : http://www.eclipse.org a generic editor, and check
their projects, including a C/C++ code editor/IDE with makefile / gcc
/ g++ / gdebug integration.
