Actually, I use both TCIDE and GCC. When I have to write ANSI C code, I use GCC. All that I can do, currently, is write code in Kate / Kwrite, compile it, generate the file for executing the program and use the -time parameter while doing this. It was a bit difficult initially, due to "bad" habits of the IDE. ;)
But I haven't involved myself completely, for forking a project (irrespective of its size) in C, using GCC.
You know what, you if you can get RHIDE towork, you won't miss TCIDE too much. I have never seen it work on a linux box and used it in a long while. It was uber cool IDE - complete look-alike of TC/Borland ncurses based IDE with more features iirc. I used to use it on Win98 with DJGPP ( dos port of gcc ) back in 2000-03. It worked like a charm. Ofcourse, there are like random number of IDEs if you care to use them - KDevelop, Eclipse et al.
Umm, I didn't know about RHIDE. I had heard about KDevelop and Eclipse.
Btw, what about your friends, get them tomove to gcc/g++ even.
They are comfortable using TC++ 3.0 on windows. They probably won't give a try using GCC on windows. Therefore I suggested inclusion of a session of GCC as well. Be it on Windows or the Linux distro of their choice. I'm sure, quite a lot of this list's members started with GCC, and they can demonstrate a "How-To" on GCC w. r. t. TC++ 3.0
And that reminds, Debarshi had recentlyposted a screencast[1] on gcc. I think that will be a good starter. [1] http://glug-nith.org/~rishi/download/gcc.ogg [Note: its a slow college connection, it will take some time to fetch that file. If you want it bad enough, nag Debarshi, he will surely put it somewhere else. Or better still offer him some space for such nice stuff.]
Umm, I planned to download it. The size is in two-digit MB's, I guess, so I had to cancel it. If I save (and I will make an effort) to save MB's for this month's quota, I'll download it and put it on the Mesh repo, next week.
