List of Free Software and Freeware IDEs

Actually, a free complier must have much more limits than the paid version.

Can you please provide some concrete evidence to support that argument.

I like QtCreator not only for Qt development. It has a very nice autocompletion support (which works good) and is fast and simple.

Fluid / Fltk

Hey,

Not sure if this fits in this topic, if not please feel free to relocate

This is a setup I came up with for assembly coding on linux

- Install scite, nasm, binutils and gdb
- Download scite-debug from: http://scitedebug.luaforge.net/ and extract to /usr/share/scite/
- Create '.SciTEUser.properties' in your home directory:

Code:

cat << 'EOF' > ~/.SciTEUser.properties
# 0.1 - 20091116 - killboy[underscore]powerhed[at]yahoo[dot]com[dot]au
# Enable line numbers
line.margin.visible=1
line.margin.width=3

# Use fixed width font
font.base=$(font.monospace)
font.small=$(font.monospace)
font.comment=$(font.monospace)
font.text=$(font.monospace)
font.text.comment=$(font.monospace)
font.embedded.base=$(font.monospace)
font.embedded.comment=$(font.monospace)
font.vbs=$(font.monospace)

# Print timing info
time.commands=1

# Display path info
title.full.path=1

# Load scite-debug
ext.lua.startup.script=/usr/share/scite/scite-debug/extman.lua

# Set build options
# Default compile and link options generate symbols
if PLAT_GTK
	# compile
	command.compile.$(file.patterns.asm)=nasm -g -f elf $(FileNameExt)
	# link
	command.name.0.*.asm=Link
	command.0.*.asm=ld -o $(FileName) $(FileName).o
	# run
	command.go.$(file.patterns.asm)=*./$(FileName) $(1) $(2) $(3) $(4) 2>&1
	command.go.needs.$(file.patterns.asm)=nasm -g -f elf $(FileNameExt) && ld -o $(FileName) $(FileName).o
	# build
	command.build.$(file.patterns.asm)=nasm -g -f elf $(FileNameExt) && ld -o $(FileName) $(FileName).o
	# build and strip
	command.name.1.$(file.patterns.asm)=Build and Strip
	command.1.$(file.patterns.asm)=nasm -g -f elf $(FileNameExt) && ld -o $(FileName) $(FileName).o -s
EOF

You'll also need to modify /usr/share/scite/asm.properties to ensure monospaced font usage -

Code:

# Assembler Styles
#style.asm.32=fore:#808080,font:Verdana,size:8
style.asm.32=fore:#808080

cheers,

You're missing the Arduino and Processing IDEs both of which are Open Source.

Arduino
http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

Processing
http://processing.org/download/

Arduino compiles to C/C++ and Processing compiles to Java

I think the Aptana Studio is also worth to mention. Aptana is aimed to be a IDE for web developers and can be install as eclipse plugin as well. And Komodo edit might be also good choice

I use Geany myself: it is what I used for this. For screenshots of Geany with the file open in it:

Thank you very much.

I think you should update the netbeans entry, as it now supports multiple languages, like PHP, Groovy, RoR and more.

rjcooks · 07-13-2010, 02:15 PM

Two additional links:
Integrated Development Environments / RAD tools / GUI-builders on Linux ( http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Devtools/ides.html )

This is an old list that is handy because it breaks the IDE or Editors list down by programming language. I.e., while Eclipse and Netbeans have modules for other languages, they are listed in the JAVA section.
NB: "old" means a few of the listed projects are defunct and some links are broken ... Google is your friend if you want those few.

and

What IDE to use for Python ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/81584 )

Of course the ' IDE for Python ' are not just for Python language(except IDLE) and the list includes editors which, IMHO, are not Integrated Development Environments because they do not integrate the two most important items: running|stepping code and debugging.

[...]
Hey, if Jeremy or any moderators are listening, this is a valuable thread but after four years has become quite a monster that never gets the OP list updated. STICKY is good but it is still unwieldy.
How about making it available in the Wiki so it can be updated properly?
...and maybe closing this to new posts by pointing to the Wiki page?
The IDE page exists,
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/...nt_Environment
but is not nearly as complete as this thread. Only "users" can edit it, whoever they are,

Aptana is certainly worth mentioning: http://www.aptana.org/.

Only tried Komodo for 5 minutes, not my cup of tea: http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit.

gedit is avaible on windows now

I wonder if you're going to like this page: http://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki....lassifications, but specially this page: http://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki....uxEditorFamily.

there are a lot more softwares and compilers for programming but netbeans is the best of them.
you can easily download it from www.netbeans.org
enjoy it
