I could jump in and talk about specific tools, and all the Emacs LISP code that does what you want, but I'll let other people do that. From the way your question is phrased, I interpret that you are trying to make your Linux environment work just like the development environment you had in Windows. With all due respect, don't bother. Go back to windows. :) There are some free software projects out there attempting to replicate this kind of IDE product. Some people say they are nice. I'm not aware of anyone who uses them on a routine basis. The truth is that the Unix development toolset is just *different* than what you're used to. If you're not willing to change the way you work, and even the way you think about problems, you're not likely to get any use out of the new platform. Unix is all about small tools that work really well in combination -- stuff like using the "find" command to grab all the source files under a directory and piping the output through grep, sed, sort and uniq to count all the places where a symbol is used. An IDE will let you do any one of these tasks more quickly than the command line tools will. But the simpler, more flexible tools are applicable to whole ranges of problems that the IDE authors haven't thought of, and it is *THAT*, more than anything else, that makes Unix such a magnificently productive environment. I was using the same set of programs -- exactly the same tools -- to count instances of USER_AGENT tags in my web server logs (we have a wedding page up now at http://www.alison-andy.com) this afternoon. Try doing *that* with Visual C++. :) But the environment is different, and the learning curve is steep. Once you grok it, you'll never go back. But if you go into the project expecting everything to be the way it was before, you'll only be disappointed. Andy -- Andrew J.
