Now, where you can draw the line?
I exaggerated.
Did you try that? The problem with searching for "C++" is that it will
list almost all applications (probably it searches for "C"). So it has
nothing to do with DevAssistant.
I just searched "C++" resulting a freeze of Gnome Software due to
handling of "++" character. That is a bug I already submitted
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1178199
Normally, Gnome Software should list DevAssistant on the first list as I
have no problem typing python or ruby keyword on the search field.
So, every IDE should have a 'clang' addon? and also a gcc addon? At
least, if 'shared' add-ons are available things will be much easier.
In this case, why not?
I wonder why people want to split developers into two categories:
GUI-only and Terminal-only? Why there couldn't be a "GUI as much as
possible developer"? Such a developer will prefer to install autotools
and clang/gcc using a GUI application, then open a terminal and run
"./configure && make && sudo make install" in shell? Why do people
think that a developer which wants (actually, since currently there
are no(?) GUI ways to do configure, make and make install, he is
forced) to use terminal should be 'punished' to use command line for
installing the tools he need?
They were attempt of create a frontend for that purpose and most of them
were poorly implemented. Take a look of how Microsoft and Apple do their
development. it is a matter of finding a better way of implementing the
tool.
(Well, hopefully in future there will be a tool (DevAssistant?) which
can help you to configure, compile and install a package from source.
Then, it can have gcc/clang/... compilers as its addons too; so it's
become more practical to have GUI-only developers who don't need to
install a compiler directly).
DevAssistant is a start. Next step will be adding packaging guideline
and other stuff. It takes time but it can be done.
Add-ons cannot cover development libraries, unless every library is an
add-on for all IDEs!
Then is IDE packaging issue. When it comes of using a development
applications, the software should suggest installing the missing
library. If Gnome Video is able to prompt uses to install missing
component, then why shouldn't be possible for IDE application to do the
same?
Granted I don't know well the functionality but the logic is application
should detect and suggest adding the missing function.
