The KDevelop IDE closes this gap and makes it a joy to work within a complete, integrated development environment, combining the use of the GNU standard development tools such as the g++ compiler and the gdb debugger with the advantages of a GUI-based environment that automates all standard actions and allows the developer to concentrate on the work of writing software instead of managing command-line tools. It also offers direct and quick access to source files and docu- mentation. KDevelop primarily aims to provide the best means to rapidly set up and write KDE software; it also supports extended features such as GUI designing and translation in con- junction with other tools available especially for KDE development. The KDevelop IDE itself is published under the GNU Public License (GPL), like KDE, and is therefore publicly avail- able at no cost—including its source code—and it may be used both for free and for commer- cial development.

    IDE, a Software Environment You Can Use to Develop Your C/C++ Programs

    The University of CMSC 15200 ± Introduction to Computer Science 2 Chicago Summer Quarter 2005 Department of Lab #2 (08/01/2005) Computer Science Name: Student ID: Lab Instructor: Borja Sotomayor Do not write in this area 1 2 3 TOTAL Maximum possible points: 30 One of the goals of this lab is to introduce the Eclipse IDE, a software environment you can use to develop your C/C++ programs. We provide some basic instructions on how to write a program with Eclipse, and how to use Eclipse's debugging features. More complete documentation can be found in Eclipse's official website: http://www.eclipse.org/ http://www.eclipse.org/documentation/ http://help.eclipse.org/ IDE: Integrated Development Environment An IDE, or Integrated Development Environment, provides an environment that integrates all the tools necessary to develop a piece of software. IDEs typically include a text editor, a compiler, a debugger, and other tools to improve the productivity of the programmer. For example, many IDEs include tools that allow us to easily create graphical interfaces for our own applications (“UI designers”) The user can interact with all these tools (editor, compiler, etc.) using an interface which generally (but not always) will be an easy-to-use graphical interface. In fact, the main advantage of using an IDE is that the programmer can do all his work from a single interface, instead of having to constantly switch between different tools. The following are some popular IDEs: ➢ Free / Open source (UNIX/Linux) ● Eclipse (Multi-platform, Java, C/C++, other
