a client of mine has a small number of (mostly C) developers to be migrated from windows to linux, and wants some guidance as to how to set up a reasonably complete linux-based development environment that includes not just the standard compilers and interpreters (C, C++, perl, python, etc.), but a solid collection of utilities for coding, debugging, performance analysis and so on, so i decided to create a doc describing a first pass at a decent linux dev environment, and i'm open to suggestions. first, as i mentioned, there are all the standard compilers/interpreters, so that needs little elucidation. but after that ... in terms of coding, i guess it's worth mentioning the standard IDEs, as well as editor plugins for C coding; also static analyzers like splint, etc. for debuggers, obviously, gdb/lldb. for user space tracing, strace and ltrace. for memory checking, valgrind. all the usual suspects. i'm going to put all this on a public wiki page once i get it done, so i'm curious as to what folks out there think are "must haves" in terms of linux development tools. (i'm not even going to get into kernel analysis/tracing tools, which just explodes this exponentially.) thoughts? any recommendations for online articles that address this sort of thing? rday To unsubscribe send a blank message to linux+unsubscribe [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org To get help send a blank message to linux+help [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org To visit the archives: https://lists.linux-ottawa.org
