Hello Michael, First of all you have to install:
*manpages-dev - Manual pages about using GNU/Linux for development manpages-posix-dev - Manual pages about using a POSIX system for development stl-manual - C++-STL documentation in HTML libstdc++6-doc - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (documentation files)* Then you have to find an editor that fits your requirements. There are tons of editors... nowadays I'm using an X editor and I prefer multi platform editors because I work on Windows and Linux and I want to remember just a unique set of shortcuts. My favourite editors are: These two works on Linux and Windows *scite - Lightweight GTK-based Programming Editor geany - A fast and lightweight IDE * Maybe you want to use a bigger editor: *eclipse - Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE eclipse-cdt - C/C++ Development Tools for Eclipse* It is not "straightforward" to configure eclipse to work with C++. however the cdt plugin for eclipse is REALLY powerful (I've not used it for 1 or 2 years), however it has powerful features like "refactoring". There are many other editors / IDE like: * kdevelop - An IDE for Unix/X11 kate - advanced text editor for KDE anjuta - A GNOME development IDE for C/C++ * If you do a small research over the internet you will find much more editors... that's the list I have in my head right now... but there are many other editors. -Félix On Jan 8, 2008 12:30 PM, Michael Yang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all: > > I'm starting the C++ Developer work on linux, no GUI app involved. > > Could you tell me what the tools you are working with? > > I'm trying with g++ and vim.
