Re: [gentoo-user] perfect IDE
Andreas Niederl wrote: Hi, Andrei Hanganu wrote: helo group, i've been trying the past 2-3 years to find the most usable and nice ide for c/c++ code writing. I've been through vim/vim + plugins/emacs + different modes/anjuta/kdevelop/codeblocks/eclipse/netbeans ... every single one of them has at least one drawback. I'm thinking the more I get to know Vim and the available plugins, the more it becomes like an IDE to me. I guess the same is true for Emacs. My advice would be to take on of those or any other open IDE and learn and extend them to the point that it's perfect for you. Now for your feature requirements list I'm going to concentrate on Vim and Emacs as those two are the ones I know. In short words, i am looking for an ide that can do this: - syntax highlighting - concurrent editing of multiple files (splitting) - tabs or buffer list - file browser - regex search/replace Both Vim and Emacs can do these basic features. Vim even provides a mechanism for saving and restoring editing sessions. - autocomplete (on the fly, not on demand, and maybe smart? - identify structures/classes ) Haven't tried it yet, but for Vim word_complete.vim[1] seems to be what you're looking for. You should also have a look at Omnicompletion. As Emacs has hooks for nearly everything it should be doable with it as well. - project manager Don't know about that but it would be nice to have simpler project specific settings for Emacs/Vim. - symbol list/browser current editing buffer That's pretty much ctags/etags, maybe cscope. - flexible build options that include scons, not just makefile You can put the following in ~/.vimrc: autocmd BufEnter ~/path/to/project/* set makeprg=scons - code folding (with detection of blocks) Vim does it[2]; Emacs seems to have some kind of FoldingMode according to Google. - lightweight/ergonomic interface (i dislike space being occupied by the bar that displays the line numbers, with a padding of 10px for example) Both of them are very customisable in this regard. i don't desire gdb or valgrind integration, but would be a + Emacs features gdb integration and there's Clewn[3] for GVim. As for me, I'm rather using a separate screen[4] window in the same session. Regards, Andi [1] http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=73 [2] http://www.linux.com/articles/114138 [3] http://clewn.sourceforge.net/ [4] http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ hello, your suggestions are perfectly valid, but both vim and emacs suffer from the same problem: inconsistency. A very varying group of people writes these plugins, and if i could get 5 plugins to work correctly i would reach what i am looking for. Unfortunately, one breaks down other two, or vice versa. In emacs, which i think i've given the most time, i'm using right now some panels that bring me the bufferlist, and a filesystem browser, but they screw up the splitting of windows when the bottom panel is displayed and the editor word wrap stops working when browser is displayed. That's just a small description of the general feeling, these plugins are great, but they usually work great when used alone, or just one major plugin enabled. i've checked out open/komodo, the main issue is that it is an ide designed for web developing, not c compilation as far as i could see. right now, codeblocks seems to be most functional, and i know they are working on making split windows function better. I've also switched on kde4 and latest kate (implies also new kdevelop) has a very interesting functionality vim like input mode, which seems rather unnatural at first, but i think it has a lot of potential. I've given some time to yziss too, but as far as i can see the project has been paused. I like very much the ideea of an IDE on top of a native VIM editor, and i'm considering expanding gvim. regards, A.

[gentoo-user] Tablet PC? Anyone?
Hi: Does anyone on the list have any experience with Tablet PCs? I know many of the Tablets have guides to installation on Gentoo-wiki. Does anyone have a personal story to share? Any suggestions of a good, sturdy, Tablet that I should consider to buy? I primarily am looking for a device to help note-taking in class. I can touch-type in LaTeX quickly enough to catch up to most lecturers using blackboards, but using a conventional laptop there is almost no way for me to enter diagrams and simple illustrations. I won't need handwriting recognition that much: I can still do my notes in vim with LaTeX, and just have a macro that opens a small canvas for free-hand drawing and embeds the saved image automatically in the TeX file. Mainly what I am looking for is some sort of pen-mouse/tablet/touchscreen interface that makes drawing diagrams simpler (compared to a touchpad or the little dit that sits between the g,h, and b keys on a laptop). So if anyone knows of a laptop with this kind of built-in interface, it will also be good. I guess my question is: if I am looking to buy a tablet pc, and am intending to run gentoo on it, what specific things should I look out for (assume I know zilch. I'd rather have redundant information than missing information)? Are there any particular brands or models that are known to work extremely well?

I think you are mixing stage 1 and stage 2 GRUB images? Stage 1 is installed in MBR or any partition's boot sector. No knowledge of fs is required for that to be accessed (by BIOS or a chainloader) and JUMPTO deals with that. The 1.5 images on the other hand are used to read the fs in which GRUB's stage 2 is installed. That's far too large to fit into a boot sector. I doubt that GRUB's e2fs_stage1_5 can read ext4, but I don't know really - a question for GRUB's mailing list?

Yeah, took me a little while.
I have R installed and it's interesting to play with. It's a misnomer
to call it a language though. It's really a complete environment that
draws charts, graphs, applies coloration, interesting stuff. I may end
up using RapidMiner - also Open Source but I think it's not in portage
