Eclipse CDT IDE

No I just thought you might be interested.

I use my own builder shell script, not the built ins for heimdal + oafs.

That solved many problems.

The FIXME suggestions are a great help in cleaning up old code.

Heh, I've been using Eclipse for a couple of years now. For me it's a mixed
success.

It's pretty convenient when it works as intended. Then I found it slow for
certain things so I learned the command line equivalents and ended up using
the IDE as an intelligent text editor. "Intelligent" because it does real time
code analysis and comes with pop-up help while moving the mouse over words.

However it happened more than once that an Eclipse update breaks my complete
setup and I have to spend hours getting it working properly again. And that's
getting tiresome.

This week still an update suddenly lost the complete index of all referenced
functions and variables. So all my code was full of red markers, suggestions
and inline help stopped working. Most of it was fixed by restoring the search
path for includes. But this shouldn't have happened in the first place.

And what's worse, Eclipse still refuses to include one of my own (gnucash)
header files in its index, so each parameter I'm using from that file is
unknown. I've already spent a couple of hours -again- to try and resolve this.

And so this week I finally gave up on Eclipse. I'm currently experimenting
with KDevelop which has similar features. I'll see how it will go.

Regardless, I'm glad Eclipse is improving your life!
