The Mana World Forums

Hi Dev-Team,

while compiling tmw within Linux can be done in the shell i wonder which kind of IDE you would use for editing code?

When searching the forum i found lots of posts pointing to CODE:BLOCKS for use in Windows Environments, but no word on which IDE to use in Linux.

I dont suppose you use a plain editor to maintain the code file by file, do you?

Best regards

I prefer that method. Under Linux (and Windows through X forwarding) I prefer Kate. Under Windows, I like Notepad++.

An excellent IDE called emacs

I use Scithe, the stuff on which notepad++ is based on, if I would have more stuff set for it, I would use emacs, but since my emacs would require me to set every little files for every languages, I prefer Scithe then terminal compiling in both windows/unixes.

another good one is VIM

I haven't coded on TMW (yet) but recommend CScope or the older CTags. They're plugins to many editors adding jump-to-function support.

Emacs and Eclipse ;)

I use codeblocks with UNIX, not found anything that comes close to being as good.

I use Xcode on OSX.

Can you use codeblocks to cross compile for linux? I've used codeblocks to compile in windows but in linux I only know to blindly type "./configure, make, make install" having no idea how these magically work. (Failing probably when a new .cpp file is added to the project)

mcedit
ddd is good ide too

Should work fine. Even just using make after changes should be enough. Our C::B files do have a Unix target. No guarantees.

I either use vim or nano, using vim more often lately as it's very friendly to sore wrists

Really, on unix the shell itself is sort of an IDE, and a pretty flexible one at that. Tools such as find, grep, sed, awk etc can do some truly amazing things once you get to know them.

notepad++, eclipse, VS, C::B, geany, vim


edit: notepad++, VS for windows

My turn

Windows (XP & 7): Code::blocks, Scite.

Linux (Debian unstable + experimental):
Kdevelop4, Kwrite, QTCreator 2.0 (for QT projects only).

Using Cmake as auto-compile tool preferably.

Regards.

code::blocks
QT Creator
Xcode

I hate cmake, its more difficult to get working than making an actual game.
For automated builds I use scons.

straight up vim
