From: Hans on 17 May 2010 08:58 Hi, Sorry about the cross posting. I used to write utilities with Turbo C and Borland C++ Builder in the early 1990. I retired at 65 a few month ago and want to rewrite some of utilities and other items to run on 64bit Linux. To my surprise, I can not finds a IDE with a context senitive help system like that with Borland C++ Builder where I can look up C library functions, macros, required headers, sample code, etc. I tried ANJUTA. Works Ok, except there is no context sensitive help for C library functions, etc and I can't find a "doc_book" for the purpose. Does anyone know a suitable IDE that has the desired help system. (Kylix is dead) Hans

It has so many options I can't even find right away if it comes with context sensitive help :-) [Jw]

Tried Anjuta, works fine if you want to write applications for the Gnome Desktop. It would be nice if I could figure out how to port the LIBC documentation into a Doc_Book and add tis to the Anjuta Help System. Also tried Code:Blocks. Is OK except that it uses XTERM with VGA resolution. This makes debuging impossible because thext is to small to be read on modern large 1920x1080 LCD monitor. That's the fun with Linux! Hans |
