Using BBEDIT lite but also unsure if it can do the compile error/edit 
thing...

Slickedit BSD version won't install on macos x, they're not making a 
macos x version at this time.  None of these afaik alow me to jump right 
into an edit session from a compiler error or warning msg.  Am I missing 
something in my setup or is there a magic keypress in these editors to 
do this?

TIA,

  I'd like to have something that I could set up to do my compiles, go 
 from
  errors straight to an editing session at the point of error.  Find in
  file like grep or the ability to call an external command like grep 
 would
  be great too.  It would either have to be open source, or macos x
  compatible to work for me.  A powerful c-like macro editor would be a
  plus... 8-)  I've heard of something called joe, but think that it
  requires a library that I can't get on macos x.  Any other 
 suggestions?

 I would really recommend Project Builder, which I would expect that you
 already have installed.  There is an effort ongoing to try to get
 FlightGear to build natively under Project Builder, bit I have been 
 having
 some problems with my hand-build projects (more talented people than I 
 are
 working on getting the autoconfig to generate the project files).  You
 could try using Project Builder's legacy interface and see if it fits 
 the
 bill.

The link is out of date, i think, but I'll look into it.

 I haven't given it a try, but I may be doing so.  Some questions I have
 concerning the legacy interface is that I cannot generate Frameworks or
 .app wrappers, unless the underlying makefile does so.

 Norman, I'm glad that you brought that up (it was my next question):  
 What code editors do people recommend using?  I can sort-of use vi, the 
 one time I started emacs, I couldn't exit the darn thing.

My experience with emacs started out exactly like that.  :-)  I later
tried learning emacs but got tired of having to hit Ctrl+something to do
anything.

My personal preference is VIM.  I use it for mail (mutt+vim) and
programming (mostly in perl).  FlightGear is the only large C/C++
project I'm involved with, so I've never felt like moving to a
powerful IDE such as emacs.  My poor man's IDE consists of a bunch
of rxvt terminals running vim and gdb.  :-)  Having a large monitor
helps.

If you want to try vim, there are some great scripts and tips here:

  http://vim.sourceforge.net/

I still haven't tried this, but you can check out this script for using
vim with gdb:

  http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=84

Thanks
