Migrating from WINDOWS to SuSE
Could someone please name a friendly editor and, above all, a graphic screen-oriented debugger, for developing C language code, running on SuSE ??? I feel sick every time I have to port my code to LINUX RED HAT and have to use gdb (which is a pre-hystoric debugger) due to incompatibilities between the WINDOWS VISUAL PRO C compiler and "gcc"! Thank you in advance for your help Maura E.M.
You should use ddd.

If you're a VSPro fan (I used to use it professionally, now I work for a Linux company...) you may like KDevelop. It's very similar. For simply debugging, DDD or Kdbg (intergrated into KDevelop) are nice. DDD can plot data from your program's memory, which is really cool. Personally, I find that Qt speeds up development far more than *any* editor or debugger could. I'll never go back to programming under those awful Windows APIs. I'd rather do Qt programming with 'cat' as the editor than use Visual Studio Pro. I admit that the interface is great (I get that with KDevelop, though) but, well, the libs suck. -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com
CodeWarrior is/was available for Linux. I bought it, found it assumed
a RH system, wasn't very stable on SuSE. Also, it didn't have anymore
functionality than emacs. Read a review after paying my money that
said it was only worth using if you were coming from Windows and/or
already knew CodeWarrior.

Take a look at http://www.kdevelop.org it's a quite a bit more than just a debugger. On Tuesday 04 December 2001 5:09 am, Maura Edelweiss Monville wrote:

I know this is flame-bait, but I like to use Emacs and DDD. Victor -- Victor R. Cardona Powered by SuSE Linux 7.1 (i386) Professional GPG key ID E81B3A1C Key fingerprint = 0147 A234 99C3 F4C5 BC64 F501 654F DB49 E81B 3A1C

I'm installing a brand spanking new copy of 7.3 on a brand spanking new Penguin Computing box. I have a Western Digital 40Gb drive hanging off of a Promise based ATA 100 ide controller. It's the master and the cdrom is the slave. ide0 ide1 Onboard, both empty ide2 hde- 40GB disk hdf- CDRom ide3 empty Boot from floppy hangs at: Partition Check: hde: Any ideas how to get past this? -mab --
It looks like I am not the only one who has seen this. Unfortunately I don't read German: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Partition+check%22+7.3 but anyway I don't see an answer. I need to get this box into service by Thur morning, and I need to drive it down to Dallas to do so, so I expect I'm be limping along at ata33 unless someone else has another idea... Yes, Win2k sees the drive on the promise controller. Thanks so much. -mab At 10:27 AM -0700 11/27/01, Michael Bartosh wrote:

Well you could always resort to putting a cheap ide hardrive in ide0, and setup a linux maintenance/install partition on it. You can probably get a 2 gig hd for less than $50.

Have you seen the article: http://www.geocities.com/ender7007/ might give you some clues.
