Re: Recommendations on Coding programs

[Christian Stimming (mobil)]

I like QtCreator a lot. For gnucash this requires to create a list of all files 
that belong to the project, such as
  find . -name *.[hc] > .files
I'm not completely sure about the file name for the list, though.

Regards, Christian

I like jEdit which is available on Win and Linux.

Well during several decades writing software for a living, I wrote* a 
few hundred thousand lines of code without a language sensitive 
editor. But since these are now readily available, I strongly 
recommend you use one. In any 'nix operating system this is no 
problem at all, since the standard library of utilities will give you 
a choice of them.


Under Windows you probably have a choice of at least some of these. 
Many decades back a friend sent me a copy of xemacs for Windows, so I 
know that one existed at least that far back << I was using it just 
to be able to do LISP under Windows >>

You could take a look at the products available from 
https://www.jetbrains.com/


They are not free - but are modestly priced.

For C and C++, you might take a look at CLion 
https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/?fromMenu


I myself am using RubyMine and WebStorm.

Have fun

Recommendations on Coding programs

[Matt Graham]

G’day all,

Now that I finally have myself set up to be able to view, edit and test the 
gnucash sources, I have come across the limitation of using text editors (using 
nano at the moment...) to code. Can anyone recommend a good program for doing 
coding for Gnucash? I’m mainly looking at the C side of things rather than 
guile, but a program that can do multiple types of code would be useful. 
Preferably ones that are supported on both windows and linux.

Cheers,

Matt,

Welcome.

Among us grizzled old-timers there are two camps, those who prefer emacs and 
those who prefer vi/vim (I’m in the emacs camp). The less grizzled prefer 
integrated development environments, or IDEs, of which I think Eclipse is the 
most popular. The IDEs are perhaps easier to learn than emacs or vi at the 
expense of being more mouse-oriented. All of those work on Windows, Mac, and 
X11, and probably Wayland and Unity too. Both emacs and vim provide integration 
with the compiler and debugger and so are just as much development environments 
as any IDE, there’s just some assembly required to get all the pieces installed 
and working. They’re also infinitely customizable, thus providing an infinite 
time sink…

Regards,
John Ralls
