Free IDEs: ------------- Sun Studio 11: http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/index.jsp?cid=917080 Excellent award winning C/C++ IDE with version control support and debugger support. Written in Java. Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/ Excellent IDE with multi-language support. Open Source with plugins from various sources. (This will not run on my system, whereas the SUN IDE has no problem.) KDE also has a set of tools that can be installed (for example) as part of the Fedora distro. I've never used them, but have installed them (with the idea of some day checking them out). Free Debugger: --------------- GDB: http://sourceware.org/gdb/ Many IDEs have hooks for using GDB. The defacto-standard debugger on Linux. All of the other tools listed here use this (or can use it). Not Free: -------------- Code Forge IDE: http://www.codeforge.com/ Multi-language IDE. Can be extended to use external editors, compilers, and debuggers. Version control support. I used to use this for everything and linked it to DDD (an older GUI for GDB) for debugging. I have since switched to the Understand for C/C++ and Sun Studio Enterprise 8 for Java and web applications. Understand for C++: http://www.scitools.com/products/understand/cpp/product.php An invaluable tool for browsing and understanding C/C++ projects. Contains a C and Perl API for extensibility. Will output source code documentation in HTML and text format. Also provides browsable invocation and call trees. I can't live without it at my job as I often get handed code from someone else that I need to quickly get a handle on, fix/upgrade, and maintain. PGA -- Paul G.
