Which dev tools are recommendable/which are you using for developing aMule?
I am not an developer but I have some very basic C++ knowledge and write some little private patches for eMule. Now I want to do the same with aMule and maybe extend my knowledge
For eMule I uses Notepad++ or the editor of VS 7 and winmerge.

All you need is an editor and the various GNU tools (gcc/gdb/make/etc). However, other tools can also be useful, such as valgrind, oprofile, etc.

[Mr Faber]

I know that but which editor do you use? I want to use editors/additives that are well tested and optimal for programming.
Since I have Gentoo the GNU tools are already there

Ok, that's hard to give a good answer to. There are quite a lot of editors, but emacs/vim seems to be the most common recommendations. Or if you want a full development environment, then something like kdevelop or eclipse. I can only really recommend that you try out some different editors and see what works for you.

I personally use gVim.

[Mr Faber]

Thats good because I have only some experience with vim even if very basic too but I have some
It is such a big change-over to come from windows "drag and drop" and "copy and paste" to an editor like vim but it has it advantages too.

Eclipse have match better cvs support that kdevelop, but kdevelop integrates with gdb better and consumes less memory

[Xaignar]

For CVS I'd recommend Cervisia.

[Mr Faber]

Thanks! :baby: I will check them out.

[EDIT]Kdevelop looks very good A little bit like VS 7
Does KDevelop have some problems with the GTK-Interface of aMule? Has it some influence on compiled aMule like integrating of qt libs?

There shouln't be any problems as far as I can see.

Real programmers use console tools

Ok, I admit it, I use gvim But other than that, all is console: gdb, grep, find, less, make, etc.

I use anjuta.

[Mr Faber]

Is there any amule project file for kdevelop?

Mr Faber

[Xaignar]

Afraid not.

What do you mean? Just create one. You just have to untar the files and choose an automake based build. Set the configure options and you're done.

My only problem with kdevelop is that it is not working here with gdb, so it's supposed best feature is useless. But it is nice to grep without going to the prompt, also CVS support is honest.

I use cvs for CVS support and mc -> F4 for editing, and all these are nicely surrounded by an xterm  

Really, I use the editor that lies closest to my hand. For larger things I prefer emacs, it can take care of the coding guidelines instead of me.  

Now, all the above is just fun. The truth is, as you might have noticed it from my avatar, I edit the binary, then run it trough a tool that creates C++ code from it.
(I swear I wrote progams in binary - well, actually in hex)
