Hello.. I installed free version of the new Borland multiplatform IDE for linux. So far my feelings are just plain positive. Looks very good IDE for linux and what best.. the same ide for Windows and Solarix too. Nice thing
For the first time I found using CVS very easy, integrated with the IDE

I''m downloading it right now, hopefully I''ll like it better than Anjuta and KDevelop

It is first linux ide I really like I feel like professional now!

And withouth hassling with make/configure/autoconfigure things I never really understood. I''v had some problems but everything is fine after I found right menus..

I just tried it out, and it''s having some problems with STL for me. Odd, I''m probably forgetting something or other.

You too? Weird, I had too... but I changed include directories from "Project -> Build Options Explorer" and it's worked well since then.

There for "GNU C++ Compiler" in tab "Paths and Defines" I have "/usr/include:./include:./." so what I had to do I removed "/usr/include/g++-3" from the include directory and it works.. I don't know why is that, but I tried compile command on command line with same oprions as is seen in the Build window and had same problem without BuilderX too... hopefully you get it working.


Here's screenshot of builderx I posted in another topic: Screenshot

Thanks, I''ll try it out, as I do like the feel of CBuilderX better than Anjuta and KDevelop (though they are fine programs).

I tried it out the other day but had problems debugging... Seems to not want to bother to ''validate'' break points that are within a library of the same project. Any breakpoints that are not validated get ignored. This was a killer for me as i have split my project into a lot of libraries.

I also had a few minor niggles about setting up compile options - wasnt very straight forward or easy to do, but once you figure it out, its ok.

Their forums were REALLY unhelpful too... none of their support staff seemed at all interested in the breakpoint problem, or in anyone else''s problems for that matter.

Shame really as it did look quite good.
Maybe it will mature in a few more versions time.
