Setup a Fully Featured C++ Develop Environment
Post 302339050 by Corona688 on Wednesday 29th of July 2009 03:10:03 PM

My favorite IDE is and probably always will be Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. Since moving to Unix I've tried a few; Eclipse, Xcode, Kdevelop, and generally found them lacking because of the way they tie in with the hackish automake system. I used kdevelop happily for 2 years, then all my projects broke with the next automake upgrade. There was nothing left to do but trash all project files not ending in .[ch] and write my own makefiles.
They tie in with automake, of course, to provide the ability to build their projects without actually having the graphical IDE installed. Anything less would be shocking on a UNIX system, but looking at an autogenerated makefile is like looking at HTML generated by MS Word. Create a project with an IDE and it will be a herculean task to deal with it without the same IDE. Depending on how picky it is, it might even need to be the same version of the same IDE.
I like emacs about as much as you do. I like vi about as much as a snakebite. But typing in a black window instead of a white one really isn't that bad, if you use a text editor invented after the AT keyboard was.
Try nano. With tools like the Data Display Debugger around, code autocompletion is about the only thing you don't get sans-IDE these days.
There's a lot of buzz about Eclipse these days. I remain suspicious of any VM language that occupies that many megabytes of disk real estate, but if you don't mind Java, it may be the way to go for learning the language without dealing with the console (directly).

import-bug-from-debian
import-bug-from-debian(1) General Commands Manual import-bug-from-debian(1) NAME
import-bug-from-debian - Import bugs from Debian's BTS, and file them against Ubuntu in LP. SYNOPSIS
import-bug-from-debian [options] bug... import-bug-from-debian -h DESCRIPTION
import-bug-from-debian clones bugs from Debian's BTS into Launchpad. Each bug listed on the command line has its initial report re-filed against the same source package in Ubuntu. The Ubuntu bug is linked back to its Debian counterpart. Each bug may be provided either as a bug number or URL. OPTIONS
-b, --browserless Don't open the bug in a browser at the end. -h, --help Display a help message and exit. -l INSTANCE, --lpinstance=INSTANCE Use the specified instance of Launchpad (e.g. "staging"), instead of the default of "production". -p PACKAGE, --package=PACKAGE Launchpad package to file bug against, if not the same source package name as Debian. Useful for importing removal bugs filed against ftp.debian.org. --no-conf Do not read any configuration files, or configuration from environment variables. ENVIRONMENT
All of the CONFIGURATION VARIABLES below are also supported as environment variables. Variables in the environment take precedence to those in configuration files. CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
The following variables can be set in the environment or in ubuntu-dev-tools(5) configuration files. In each case, the script-specific variable takes precedence over the package-wide variable. IMPORT_BUG_FROM_DEBIAN_LPINSTANCE, UBUNTUTOOLS_LPINSTANCE The default value for --lpinstance. SEE ALSO
