The examples on the WIKI are also good. I remember I went through them. Designer was causing me troubles as well and I recall there are bug reports in TGW, but no one has the time to repair. I am pretty happy with Eclipse. I have it installed and setup in 2018. I am afraid to touch it (upgrade etc), because it is working very well. I can only recommend. It has plugins for cmake as well and can autobuild. You need to know besides the language itself C/C++ also some basics - how include works, how build works (g++). To make life easier, people created first automake and then cmake. Then you have the packaging system for the distro. So when you write code you have the short way - to run g++ from the command line with all the options, or to use one of the build systems. If you want to create a package, you must use the packaging system on top of the former. It just takes time to sync in, so do a little step every day -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0 ____________________________________________________ tde-devels mailing list -- devels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devels-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/devels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
