IDE with Winemaker

[Ng, Billy H CIV NAVSEA]

Hi, I am a Windows Developer who is new to the Linux world. Is there any IDE (like Visio Studio) I can use with Winemaker? I am trying to port a Windows App to Linux Fedora.

Thanks,
Billy.

Heya,

On Linux the usage of IDEs is much less common than on Windows, and the
usage of powerful generic text editors like emacs or vim is greater. So
I'm afraid no IDE/winemaker integration is likely to exist (I definitely
never heard of it). Winemaker is only ever run once anyway, just use the
command line.

That said, Eclipse has some C/C++ support these days if you want to use
that. But if I were you I'd learn emacs ;) I did and never regretted it
(used to use delphi).

thanks -mike

I managed to use wineg++ with kdevelop by overriding the compiler. It worked 
quite well for my needs(code a ddraw test app), but I don't know if it works 
for bigger apps. Just set a CC="winegcc", CXX="wineg++" and 
LINK="winegcc" (??) environment variable in the projekt options.

There isn't any IDE which offers an editor for the resource files, so you have 
to edit them by hand.
