It's not an "IDE", but Vim works well in Windows, as far as I know, complete with its beginner-friendly menus and mouse bindings, syntax highlighting, and so on. XEmacs also supposedly works on Windows, but I don't know anyone who tried. > * ddd should build, but requires X Gdb works in Windows, I believe... Maybe first year students have not yet been spoiled by idiotic software- engineering practices being taught in Israeli high-tech companies and will not rule out gdb just because it isn't "nice-looking"? > Also note that running ./configure on cygwin takes a l o n g t i m e > (forking on cygwin is slow) Why would you want to run a "./configure" on cygwin? On Cygwin, like everything else in Windows, you normally install binaries. And when a first year student writes a program, writing an autoconf file is completely irrelevant. -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Sep 17 2002, 12 Tishri 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Shortening Year-2000 to Y2K was just the http://nadav.harel.org.il |kind of thinking that caused that problem! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://linuxclub.il.eu.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
