Suggested IDE for VLC/Cygwin/Windows

Postby Trollslayer » 24 Jun 2007 00:10

The title says it all, I have VS2005 but it doesn't let you choose between DOS and Unix file formats and I don't want to break things so...
Any suggestions?

Well, VS2005 will not be able to compile anything for you :D
But you can use it to develop and compile with cygwin. Be sure to dos2unix the files before sending them to the lists.

If you just need an editor, I would tell to use notepad++ :D

I have found that Eclipse with the CDT plugin works and preserves te DOS/Unix file format.

I use it for editing and run gcc under Cygwin separately, I think trying the building withing Eclipse/CDT is yet another option to support for very little gain. With CDT it shows members, include hierarchies etc. which is the main thing I was after.
I am now looking into Doxygen since it looks like documentation on Videolan is an area I can contribute to.

I'm not a glory hound!

Seriously, it's something that is sorely needed and will help me learn about Videolan, then there are a couple of things I've been thinking about.
Also looking at intergrating Cygwin with Eclipse/CDT to give Windows usabilty without intrroducing another build system to support.
Oh, I've also found an issue with Doxygen and graph imports...
