Hi All,

Big thanks to everyone who responded - very few came directly to me so there is no point doing a summary discussion as this thread is available to all on both lists..

Kind regards,
Zoltan

Hi Everyone,
Please indulge me in this slightly off topic question.
As I have spent the last many years of my GIS life programming in a (linux BASH-like) scripting language, I am somewhat out of date with Linux development environments. I last programmed many years back, in C using Visual Studio 95 and "flat C" on Linux command line - no fancy "make" or anything.

I want to migrate my Linux based GIS workflows onto OpenSource projects, using a mix of gdal/proj4/ossim and maybe GRASS - as the need and mood grabs me.

I have just loaded Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit as my platform, and ask if anyone is willing to let me know what development environments they program in.

I'm looking to write graphical (over orthos/satelite images) digitising routines, ie: display/edit/capture vectors on/in image windows, catch mouse, keyboard and maybe joystick events. Maybe even stereo (3D) capture too. I am not a fan of GUI data capture, so whilst this looks much like reinventing the wheel, I don't think it is, and hence I am unlikely to see the benefit of "tacking onto" projects like QGIS etc.

I'd be grateful to know what you guys use for programming. (I'll probably stick with C as I have no experience with Java, Python or other languages).

Thanks in advance,
Zoltan
