Linux Programming Tools
I assume that all distributions come with C/C++ command line tools? Are there any beginners guides on the Web? If you want to use a Graphical IDE (I know some people prefer command line tools but I can never remember the commands) you could try some of the following. Could anyone advise me which is best for 3D development?
- http://www.wxwindows.org/ - A cross-platform framework but I find this MFC like framework a bit old fashioned these days.
- http://www.kdevelop.org/ - IDE for KDE, this allows you to use QT A C++ class library for GUI programming. For futher information about using this environment see this page.
- http://glade.gnome.org/ -user interface builder for Gnome and GDK+
- http://www.eclipse.org/ - IBM IDE
Using Java on Linux
If you have not already done so load the latest version of Java for linux from the blackdown website.
Unpack it to suitable directory:
cd /usr/local
gunzip /jdk-1_2_2-rc3-linux-i386_sh.gz
./jdk-1_2_2-rc3-linux-i386_sh
Make sure path is set:
export PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/bin:$PATH
Download and install Java3D for Linux
bunzip2 java3d1_1_3-fcs-linux-sdk_t.bz2
./java3d1_1_3-fcs-linux-sdk_t
see http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/jdk1.2-status/README-3D
