I would say that claiming that CentOS5 is not a good development
environment for a program that will deployed on CentOS 5 is a very bade
advice.
of course the final build are going to be made on it, but the
environment itself is very lacking for developers. kdevelop keeps
crashing, what else can I say?
That kdevelop is not a good solution for commercial software development
on Linux.
The R&D manager here decided to pick Tikal to manage the subversion and
all, we also got the tikal-eclipse tarball from sf.net. It seems to hate
the JDK 1.6, which means I'll have to probably keep an older JDK in
parallel to resolve this.
I recommend your client look into Eclipse. Failing that, Try Visual
Slick Edit.
Looking into Eclipse, but some people are annoyed by the process and
insist on MS DevStudio because it "Just Works" (and I agree, it's silly
to pick IT standards this late in the R&D process, but that's a
different issue. the DevStudio is also useless when developing
GNU/Linux code, because of the lake of makefile support, if nothing
else.)
They are right - you should have delivered something that "Just Works".
Sadly, both Kdevelop and Fedora are wonderful projects worthy of many
praises. Using them in a commercial development environment however, is
a not recommend because of the problems you describe.
The right tool for the job and all that.
