hi all, i am a newbie with Linux and i was accustomed to work with borland app. in windows for my C projects.

now, i have to develop C project for linux environment, threads, mutex, etc...and it works only in text mode, non-GUI project.

i have tried to install Kylix... waste of time.
I could install Anjuta but when i was looking for some options, etc.. it failed, closed and i am not able to recover it...

is there any other option to debug my C proyect? I need to add watches, break points, etc.. and see result thru the console...

Suse installed:
openSUSE 11.4 (i586)
VERSION = 11.4
CODENAME = Celadon

Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any real Linux IDE that works solely in text-mode. Most developers just use a text editor such as vi/vim, the shell commandline, gcc, gdb debugger, and make.

thanks theNbomr.
what we need is to debug our C projects like in Borland (windows version) where you can run the code, add breaks points, watches, debug your code step by step seeing results while code is being executed, etc.. etc....
I have tried with gcc and gdd debugger without success... is it possible to do the same with this commands?

Thans theNbomr.

gdb is the standard source-level debugger in Linux. There are various graphics-mode GUI front-ends that friendly it up, such as ddd (my preference). You have me confused when you say 'Borland (windows version)', which implies a GUI-oriented debugger, but where you earlier said 'works only in text mode, non-GUI project'. Are you talking about the debugger, or your application? It is quite possible to use ddd to debug a text-mode application; in fact I don't think I've ever used it on a GUI application. ddd/gdb allows you to do all the kinds of things you refer to. You do have to build your application with debugging hooks enabled; for gcc use the '-g' option.
I don't know what gdd is.

You can also try cgdb, it's gdb but has a split window that shows the source code on top.

thanks MTK358 for your answer and thanks again theNbomr. my english is the problem

i said Borland trying to give you guys the picture i have in my mind about the unique easy way i know to debug code... sorry for the confusion... for me it is quite complex to leave windows and face linux by myself. I have heard it is more realiable, stable, you can configure it better than windows, etc... but the first time you try to do so somethigs...aha my friend.... it is hard one thing is clear... i have to read some guides to understand better the OS structure, etc...

in my first steps, kylix and anjuta, it was a waste of time... and what is worst.. .i don't know how to solve this situation... well, yes, your answers, for sure... i am trying to understand how ddd and cgdb work and it looks the solution i need. thanks again for your help.

as i commented, i have to write a project in C to be used thru konsole in its first phase. first solution to debug my code, i.e printf... but it is a caos when you use it in a while loop. when i saw this, i mean, the complex of debugging my code with a konsole... i remember how easy is to use an IDE, a GUI environment where you have the source code in one window, you can compile it, add watches to see the values of your variables, breakpoints, etc...


well, I do not know if I have further clarified the situation...

Thanks.

hi again, i could finish with installation of both amazing tools... cgdb and ddd... they are exactly what i need and they are amazing.

ddd look more easy for use. anyway, they will give me the tools i need.

Thanks guys. I really appreaciate it.
