Clicky clicky

No, I did not make this, so it's not an advertisement! Thought it might be useful for someone tired of CodeBlocks/Dev-C++/VC/Anjuta/Kate/whatever..

From the description:

What is CodeLite?
CodeLite is an open source project that target itself to become the best open source IDE for C/C++.

Here is a sneak peek at CodeLite functionlities:

    * Comes with two editor's themes: BlackTheme and Default

          o Watches table - add persistent watches by a single click
          o Quick Watch - right click on a variable to expand it
          o Locals tree - automatically displays the current stack variables (also displays *this if available)
          o Threads view - provides list of currently running threads and easily switching between then by single click
          o Breakpoint management - add/remove breakpoint management panel
          o Automatic tooltip
          o and more...
    * Subversion plugin (based on the command line tool)
    * cscope plugin

    * Makefile based build system
    * Excellent support for custom makefile generators (such as CMake, QMake & Premake)
    * Project explorer (Workspace view)
    * File Explorer

          o Automatically add include statement for symbols
          o Colourise local variables
          o Colourise workspace tags
          o Generate setters / getters for classes
          o Rename class/method/member name in an intelligent way (AKA refactoring)
          o Move function implementation from header to implementation file
          o Implement All un-implemented methods
          o Implement un-implemented methods
    * Quickly open resources in the editor using 'Find Resource in workspace'
    * Quickly open types in the editor using 'Find Type in workspace'
    * XML based syntax highlighting, comes with the following:

EDIT: Upon further thought, maybe this should've gone into the DevTools-thread..

I'm so used to Dev-C++ at this point that I just put up with it's occasional spazz outs. So I might give this a look, thanks!

This looks a lot better than Dev C++... :O  I need to start my SDL training soon :I

[Don Andy]

Kinda makes me wanna go back to C++

For my part the poor, even faulty, syntax highlighting and stability issues put me off Dev-C++..

[Hideous]

I should really get started on learning C++.

[CitadelBrian]

Code completion? That hopefully works? This might be my new C++ IDE.

Heh, no C# support, for mostly obvious reasons...

Because I have to move around machines and different operating systems so much, I usually just use gcc and a text editor in the OS I am using (Sublime Text on winows, Gedit on linux, Textmate on the mac).

This IDE is plain awesome, especially the fact that it's cross platform.

There is so much functionality that I've been missing by just using a text editor, thanks for showing us this :D.

One problem - as of now I won't be able to run it on OS X. The window gets created at 0,0 under the menubar, so I can't drag it away. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have Leopard? You could try moving it from Spaces.

You're the man, toastie.

[Hideous]

I can use this with Lua and Python? Awesome.

EDIT: Oh wait I misunderstood it.

Dev-C++ has been dead for a few years! You are sadomasochastic if you're still using it. Code::Blocks (www.codeblocks.org) has a new major release which works really well (and has code completion and a hell lot of other stuff). I don't know about code lite, but Code::Blocks works for me!

[shinygerbil]

Code::blocks had all this nightly build weirdness, last time I tried it.

Not that I really program enough to use an IDE

[medieval]

Too many features for me. Notepad++ does fine.

[Akhel]

...Notepad++ is not an IDE.

[postlogic]

@Kao: Well he never said it was

[Hideous]

If anyone knows how to use this with PAlib and devkitPro, I'm set.

[K-Cid]

They did indeed, took me a while to figure it out. But they quit that anyway, there's now a nice download there, which works fine.

[Eclipse]

Too many features for me. Notepad++ does fine.
