UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hello,
Thanks pludi but i hate gvim, vim, emacs because they are so much confusing.
Thanks for the very good and helpful answer Corona688 and you gave me some very good tips for C++ development under Linux, but someone that uses Microsoft Visual C++ use a compiler or some other thing is very hard, because in Visual C++ you have all there only with a mouse click, without commands or changing programs, but in my opinion Linux is much more better and stable than Windows, and in Linux you have make for your C++ programs.

Thanks,
Nathan Paulino Campos

Don't get me wrong. I find make very handy. I really dislike autotools, though, and so many IDE's are built on it... Generating the generated generated script generation scripts for the generation of makefiles is a very long, slow(most 'compilation' time is actually spent regenerating makefiles!) convoluted, and error-fraught process. Writing your own makefiles is easier.

I like autotools, in my opinion they make the development more flexible.

I've spent most of my time with them fighting to fix it when it breaks itself rather than enjoying their advantages, so I may not truly appreciate what they do for a developer yet. How so?

gedit is really cool.. it isnt that tough to write a make file.. its better to write your own make file.. gedit pluggins like snippets, external tools, class browser etc.. makes it great for programming.. The only drawback i face with gedit is there is no code collapsing pluggin and dynamic autocompletion. Else gedit is cool
