the link is not working. can somebody plaeas point whether chinook is still alive and update the page likewise/
Code::Blocks
- I've been using Code::Blocks for quite some time now. It is still a bit young, but it is by far the most promising one I've seen. It is still necessary to spend a little time finding the options and how to set them, but once you've get a hold on it it becomes really comfortable to use. It takes advantage of the very good Scintilla text control, so it really is a good product!
- I also think that the most promising IDE is Code::Blocks, it's very good (a perfect replace for Dev-Cpp or MSVC), the very modular architecture is really great.
CodeForge
- I can't recommend CodeForge. I know it's been praised by some linux magazines, but I tried it out and had to throw it away. It was easier to do everything from scratch than to cope with the way CodeForge managed the makefile. Please write down your own impressions but this is my opinion. --Anonymous
- I found CodeForge unusable. It uses it's own non-standard GUI toolkit, requires some kind of daemon to be run to work, and crashed after about 10 minutes, definately not recommended. --Anonymous
- I'm actually quite happy with it. I don't know what a "standard gui toolkit" should be, I can live with the licence server and I'm happy to let CodeForge manage the Makefile without any autotools. I used it to rebuild the OpenCascade libraries on Linux which make a huge project and I had no really big problems with it. --Anonymous
MinGW Developer Studio
- I use MinGW Developer Studio in Linux and Windows. It's a (simpler) clone of MS VC++. Works quite well. No configuration needed: it comes with a "wxWidgets Project" template. --Anonymous
- I think MinGW Developer Studio would be cooler if it provided code templates. --Anonymous
- Link does not work.
