ncb Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 What advantages of using Kyli3x or whatever its called (Borlands C Compiler) do you have over just using a basic text editor and then compiliing? Like vi or pico or emacs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Ide as far as i know It would have features like code auto complete i would think(doesn't vi do this to a certain extent?). There's certainly no reason that you couldn't write just as good apps using a text editor and compiling at the comand line. Only reason is increase in productivity through templates, tree views of all your source files etc blah blah like every other ide. Oh dear rambling again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Kylix (which supports Delphi and C++ Builder) is for RAD. This means, it's sorta like Visual Basic is, but using BETTER languages, and a better IDE, IMHO. Not to mention cross-platform compatability. Anyhow, I like them, but I haven't used C++ Builder at all yet. For SDL, I am using nedit (happy, ramfree17?) as my IDE, as it does all I need it to do.

ezroller Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 also a debugger. that way, when your code goes to compile and an error pops up, kylix will tell you where the error is, so you don't have to sift through a thousand lines of code looking for the one damn semi colon you left out. (as i would have been doing had i not had kylix last night. nothing like waiting til the last possible minute to do an assignment I had a week to do.)
