IDE for Linux

[steg90]

Hi,

I have GNOME on my linux box, can I use KDevelop to develop Qt applications on this?

Sure you can, but it will install you numerous KDE Libs you wouldn't find that useful ;-)

A lighter solution might be QDevelop, it's becoming very good !

[steg90]

Thanks,

I've taken a look at QDevelop and it looks great.

FYI there are several other similar IDE availables :

• Cobras (no longer very active...) : Can't remember the exact link but search somewhere around beesoft.org
• Monkey Studio : http://monkeystudio.org
• Edyuk : http://edyuk.sf.net

All these are written in c++/Qt4 and primarily targeted for this environment but they differ in the feature list (with/without) debugging, completion, designer integration, ... Some may think there is a waste of time and energy in leading so many concurrent projects (it might be true) but history led to this situation and this allow sane concurrence and wider choice for users who are not forced to use one because it's the only available but can choose the one they like most

Nicely done, fmc. Very subtle. ;-)

[steg90]

Thanks for the info

Just had a look at Monkey studio, looks nice.

What are other people using to develop on linux? There seems so many IDE's, I just want to go with the majority.

Regards,

I don't like IDE's myself. I want to feel like I have total control over my own code. That means: Kate + Konsole.

I don't suppose that's very helpful to you.

[guilugi]

Yep, I don't like IDEs a lot, too...

My vote goes to GVim ;-)

On Windows, I don't like GVim a lot, so I use QDevelop

Maybe I should use vi

I kinda use to using nice IDE's having come from windows background ( visual studio, .Net ).

Surely some IDE's help you get the job done quicker?

Sure, for a long time I've ben using KDevelop, and it was really cool to design Qt-based applications (at this time, Qt3 only)...

Then I switched to Vim, because I started being tired of huge IDEs, now I love simplicity of Vim...
And it's not really complicated to manage Qt apps "by hand" (thanks qmake ;-)

i use kdevelop. code-completion is a very usefull feature - and works perfect in kdevelop.
also the class-wizad is quite helpful sometimes...
the qmake-manager i don't really use - most times i edit the pro file by hand

KDevelop or Eclipse are two of my favorite IDEs on linux, however I prefer KDevelop over Eclipse.

[Tux-Slack]

Most of it I use KDevelop. Kind of got used to it.

I'm using Vim and QDesigner.

[ivan.cukic]

Vim with QDesigner mostly.

At the moment I'm testing Eclipse with QT plugin and I can say that I'm very pleased at the moment.

[guilugi]

I should seriously try Eclipse now

I should seriously try Eclipse now

Eclipse is SLOOOOOOOOOOW and memory consumming, as all big Java-based applications are... I tried using it monthes ago and I soon removed it from my computer : it's such a waste of space when you don't have a brand new high end hardware...

[guilugi]

Well, I'd like to see how it works...I'm pretty sure I won't keep it though ;-)

I remember of JEdit, I used to develop with it, long time ago lol, it was a damn good one..
But yeah, I don't like Java's heavy machineries...

[Gopala Krishna]

any EMACSeans there ??
Though i am not an expert in emacs i am finding it good and looks like i can master some of cool commands in upcoming vacation for me.

[guilugi]

Yeees, I have worked with Emacs a lot, ultra powerful :-D
But nowadays, I still prefer Vim.
