A Simple Programming IDE for X.

xarius · 02-24-2004, 05:04 PM

Before I go into any detail, I am going to clarify a few points:
[list=1][*]I have already searched the forums, and not really found a decent answer[*]Please, no-one respond with "Vi is the one true editor" or "Emacs is the best thing since the pyramids" and other such editor fanatacism. I already have a nice text editor[*]Anjuta is not an option. I run a very light windows manager and do not want to install 101 different GNOME libraries that I will never need.[/list=1]

All that aside--I am looking for a decent IDE with file selector, C/C++/HTML/Python(not required) syntax highlighting. Doesn't matter if it links to a compiler or not really... Basically I need a nice syntax-highlighting text editor, with a file selection. I tried Bluefish and it's rather clunky, syntax highlighting is a bit pants too.

Anyway, I would appreciate any serious suggestions, I'll consider a console app if it is written using something nice like ncurses.

P.S. Freshmeat doesn't offer very much.
P.P.S Sorry if this seems a bit impersonal or arrogant,

I'm a nice guy really.

Thanks in advance.

Since I don't know what you've seen and
discarded on Freshmeat I'll just remain silent :}

If you find emacs too fat use jove ;)

Cheers,
Tink

Well, whether you want only highlighting, you should try just Kwrite or Kedit, but both of them dont have compiler contained.
I can advice you Kdevelop, but it's rather huge IDE.

" I run a very light windows manager" This is the precise opposite of KDE, but thanks for the suggestion!

if you have java you could always use jedit (jedit.org)
i've used it before, decent editor, fairly basic but many features can be added via plugins

Tinkster · 02-25-2004, 02:32 AM

And Java-based programs would be
non-bloat how? :)

java being what it is, thats a good point
but imho jedit does perform pretty good and offers useful features.

I also run IceWM (the best window manager I can advice everyone) but I meant only KDE apps nor whole environment.

Not paying too much attention on how KDE and
it's apps work, then ...

Code:

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
  329 tink       9   0 35284  11M  8404 S     0.0  2.1   0:00 kcalc
  331 tink       8   0  8088 8084  7804 S     0.0  1.5   0:00 kdeinit
  334 tink       9   0  8400 8396  8096 S     0.0  1.6   0:00 kdeinit
  337 tink       9   0  8700 8692  8320 S     0.0  1.6   0:00 kdeinit
  339 tink       9   0 35844  11M  9748 S     0.0  2.3   0:00 kdeinit

Please note that in this example kcalc is the ONLY
KDE app running ...
