which IDE do you use?
Added by peter ritter almost 9 years ago
Hello
I just set up a machine with ubuntu to try to work through the WT examples. I am really used to Visual Studio for development on windows but since VS does not exist on linux I need another IDE. I was using Eclipse-CDT a few years back and it was pretty good but afaik it doesn't support cmake projects out of the box, and I really want to learn and use cmake since it seems the way forward. So now I looked into the CLion IDE. It seems pretty nice and uses cmake out of the box. I'm just not sure how much traction it has gotten in the C community or how stable it is which is why I'd like to know what everyone else is using for c development in this forum? Which IDE are you using when working with the WT Web toolkit on linux and/or windows? My product needs to run on both windows and linux and eventually OSX/Mac too, so it would be nice to have the same IDE everywhere.
Thanks in advance!
Peter

Qt Creator, a cross-platform c with rich features, nice support for c
I would recommend you use cmake to build your c projects if you refuse
to bound by the IDE, cmake can generate many "make files" for different OS
and IDE, Qt Creator can integrate with cmake too.

It should be "a cross-platform c IDE"

Hey Peter,
Eclipse CDT is definately supported by cmake. Just select the proper generator when running cmake:
cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" .....
run cmake ---help to see all supported generators. I personally don't use eclipse for C development, but it should work.
