when you guys are building/testing wget, are you ever using any kind of IDE?

no, i only use vim:

http://www.vim.org

and while i can get it to build using Eclipse on my linux box, i cant' seem
to figure out what i need to do within the settings to actually be able to
step into various functions once i'm in the main () function. and if you
can't step into/through functions.. debugging gets to be a pain!!!

not really. you can use gdb from command line:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/

or a GUI front-end to GDB like insight:

http://sources.redhat.com/insight/

or ddd:

http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/

but for network programming i have always found brian kernighan's approach ("a well-placed printf is the best debugger") to be invaluable.
