Thank you Alfred M. Szmidt, I am confirming with you on my awareness of "Automake, and autoconf are just plain text files, you don't need a complex IDE to edit them. The documentation is also very easy to navigate" But, my question is: "If I want to work on the GNU Hello project, which can be downloaded at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.4.tar.gz, what IDEs can I use to import the project and export it as deployable project( configure->make) after some dependency and code changes?" To clarify, I am not asking a question for comparing IDEs with other tools. Thank you for any helpful suggestion. P On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 11:54 PM, Alfred M.
