Poll: What compiler do you use?

**bremarv** · 05-19-2010, 10:31 AM

Using emacs for writing and gcc for compiling on linux. Also use VS08 for windows, but only to set up the project and test compiling for my school deliveries.

I had a look at Netbeans and code::blocks when I started with linux, but I found them hard to use so I went with emacs instead Tongue

I'm at the moment am doing a BIT course, and the teacher has started teaching use using BlueJay (for Java). I cheat at home and use NetBeans. Want to head of into game devolpment so I also want to learn C++.

I feel sorry for you if you have to use BlueJay. When I was thought java, we went notepad -> BlueJay -> eclipse , but I just skipped bluejay because it was useless and threw errors on code that was correct. It also screwed up some of my classmates understanding of how classes worked really bad. This was 2 years ago, but I doubt it have improved much.

For Linux, eclipse mostly and i switched to netbeans while working on the last patch.
The compiler, of course, was GCC.

For Mac os x, i used Xcode, which uses GCC as the compiler.

Ever tried Kdevelop 4?

I've used once a while ago and I hated it! code::blocks is way better... imho! anyway i just use gedit most of the time...

As long as I don't get to install all those java dependencies... I'll give it a try, just not gedit, I do prefer vim and zile.

Code blocks requiring java??? Last i knew code blocks and kdevelop did not require any java.. Eclipse and netbeans on the other hand, require excessive amounts of java.. But at least they run under openjdk or gcj.

I was talking about _Eclipse and netbeans_, now could you answer my direct question? Angel

EDIT: By the way, I just installed Code::Blocks with no unmet dependencies.

has kdevelop gotten better since 3? (the last version I played with).. Lately I have been just using the eclipse or netbeans as nothing else out there seems to cut it.. (netbeans more so lately as it's MUCH faster than eclipse.. but eclipse has the nice integration with Mantis and has the BIRT reporting).

clang is much nicer than gcc, even if it has some issues currently, it needs some work to work on windows properly but it has nice error messages Smile

as far as IDEs go I use whatever is available, I have vs2008 professional installed because i get it for free for being a student.
