big thx
i hope you didnt misunderstand me. i didnt want to give too much pressure to you.
we're programming c++ with qt and opengl in our university atm, and after 1.5 years of programming, im a hero in bringing ides to work, cause there is no ide you get to work properly.
eclipse is made for java. you can make it work with c++ qmake n stuff, but configuring and installing everything takes around 3-4 hours (with a tutorial). the code completion is horrific, and the debugging doesnt work properly. and eclipse does what it wants with cvs archives. its overloaded with java functions, you cannot use in c++, which increases the used memory like hell
kdevelop is ok, but the cvs support isnt that good, and: it doesnt work under windows (yet) and most beginners will prefer windows, especially if they need to have opengl running what is a proglem with some graphic adapters. and vmware is freakin slow
visual studio is good. you have to configure only a little bit, and it works with all functions you need. BUT its from MS and its expencive. havent tried it out that much yet.
codeblocks takes all the advantantages together. but atm its way too much configuring for my prupose. if the plugin would be precompiled, it would shrink the installation-work from 3 hours to 20 minutes, which would be a real advantage if you want to show it to beginners.
xcode is perfect. but... who of all the poor students can afford a mac? :\
im a little fed up with all that ide configuring. you are the community which can make the life easyer for hundrets of students on my university.... so once again: big thx for your help so far
