I am looking for recommendations for developing Boost, especially code in the graph library.
At work, most developers (not for Boost, for some commercial software), most developers are using Eclipse. This works quite fine as soon as it has properly auto- discovered include paths etc.
But before fiddling around with Eclipse to get all the settings right, I'd wanted to ask for your recommendations.
I've just started using NetBeans (netbeans.org) on Windows having also used it on Ubuntu.
(As title hints, it was designed for Java but it is also designed to work for C++/C).
Seems promising but I haven't had enough use to give a definite recommendation.
Apologies for replying to self, but I now have enough experience with NetBeans to give a firm recommendation. Despite its naff name showing Java roots, it works rather well with C++ (and 7.3 promises html5 generation too). Does most nifty things that Visual Studio does, including debug. Works with Boost.Test - provided you remember to build the gcc libraries and define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK in the Project compiler properties. And * Has Subversion (and GIT and Hg) built in for convenience. * Can generate a Doxygen-style comment template (/param and /return) for functions and classes which will encourage writers to document their code as they go along (The Right Time To Document). Works very similarly on Ubuntu and on Windows. Worth a try. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
