I am trying to get back to C programming in windows.
I normally use codeblocks for the code and for the gui I used Resource Editor from radasm, but it seems it's no longer available.
Anyone know of a simple program that will let me create dialogs, edit existing resource files and such easily?
Thanks
Qt Creator is capable of doing all those things, if you choose to use Qt for your project.
Borland C++
Dev -C++
Eclipse CDT
LCC-Win
V IDE
WideStudio
Ultimate++
wx-Devcpp
wxWidgets
You could try GTK gtk.org.
You can find the tutorials here
Glade is the preferred RAD tool for resource editting

I'm trying to learn Cuda and its very interesting but I'm having problems creating code without a bit of help from an IDE. I know Java/Python but I'm unfamiliar with C/C++ so I have been using eclipse and Xcode to help me with commands and finding things(via code code completion). I can't seem to get these options for CUDA?
I have seen examples and can build them find(nvcc is working) but without the IDE to help catch some of my mistakes I'm a bit lost editing the code in just a text editor. I found a toolkit plugin for eclipse but although it seems to install I think its for a older build of eclipse because most of the options in the instructions do not match my version(Indigo). Nvidia has a plugin for Visual studio only on their site(I'd rather not install windows on my mac to use Cuda).
I'm sorry if this sounds bad but I'm curious to how people are developing cuda on Mac's. I don't care what IDE I use as long as it helps me see the options and warn me if I have syntax issues,etc..(I'm not the best programmer but switching IDE's for me has just been a matter of finding out where things are so I'm really fine with any solution as long as it helps me as I'm learning).
Nsight Eclipse Edition is available as a part of the CUDA Toolkit 5.0 (no additional download required).
Qt Creator!
You can read Qt Creator + CUDA + Linux for inspiration on how to setup the build environment on Mac OS X.
You could think about using JCuda:
http://www.jcuda.de/
There is XCode plug-in for CUDA development. I found it there. There is the main discussion on nvidia.com
Visual Studio Code + this extension:
https://github.com/gangliao/VS-Code-Cuda.
For me, Visual Studio Code is my favorite IDE for every language I found out there
I've seen a lot of console apps (that run on windows) having some dialog boxes and widgets inside them. Say for example:
A there are a lot more. Now my question: Is there any library (in C) for creating dialogs and widgets in a Win32 Console App?
UPDATE: Seen pdcurses, but it lacks libraries from the real ncurses library like menu.h and form.h. So ss there any other that is easy to use?
Thanks a bunch! :)
you can use ncurses, please check the following question from stackoverflow.com:
Is ncurses available for windows?
there is also PDCurses that support Win32
you can also use the old library Turbo vision, I have never tested it on win32.
The cygwin suite should contain a complete port of ncurses.
if you ou can get hold of an old borland C/C++ (v3.1 if I remember correctly or 6.0, I guess the former version). It has a framework to get just the same that you showed in your picture.
I want to examine and modify some open source programs written in C.
Is it sensible to use Eclipse for this purpose? If so, what plugins should I add? What "gotchas" should I be aware of?
If not, what FOSS C IDEs do you recommend for coding C on a linux box? Emacs, while undeniably powerful, is not to my taste (I'm more a mouser than a keyboarder.)
I have found netbeans to be a better ide for C/C++ then eclipse -- C/C++ is a first class citizen in the netbeans world. I am personally using geany these days.
Use Eclipse CDT, you can download Eclipse IDE for C/C++ here . Its not as mature as the Java IDE, and it can be a pain to set up a proper build system with it unless you're happy letting Eclipse handle your builds.
As you asked for alternative open source IDEs, I would recommend Code::Blocks for anything C/C++.
If you want to give it a try, download a nightly build (they don't really keep the "stable" version up-to-date). You can find instructions for installing on Linux in the respective forum thread.
IMO Code::Blocks is really nice because it's fast, portable and you can configure every detail of your project easily. There are also lots of plugins that can help you with development.
But if you're accustomed to Eclipse and like it so far, you should really use CDT because you get the same (nice) look-and-feel as with the other Eclipse development environments (Java, Java EE, Jython, Python, ...).
A great feature - I think - is, when languages, running in a virtualized way like C# and Java show errors during you're working on the source. Most often IDEs like Eclipse or NetBeans or VisualStudio have the feature to specify errors immediately.
Is there anything like this for C/C++? Just for coding... I'm currently searching for a way to gain the same coding experience with good old C :).
Eclipse has C and C++ support with the CDT project. I've never personally used it but I would assume it has everything you want.
http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/
You can program in C++ in Visual Studio and it will give you the same intellisense an error highlighting features you would expect from it's other languages.
Netbeans and Sun Studio have C/C++ support (Sun Studio seems to have more advanced debugging features).
I'm trying to disassemble a C/C++ DLL, and have made some progress, but I would like to create my own C DLL with the same function the original exports, and compare disassemblies.
Visual Studio adds to much crap, and when I remove the crap and build my project, the expected DLL is missing.
I need a lightweight, preferably IDE, tool to edit and build very simple C libraries.
Take a look at Code::Blocks
I need a lightweight, preferably IDE, tool to edit and build very simple C libraries.
I have found that one of the best ways to do integrated C-only Win32 development is using the freely available Lcc Win32 Compiler which comes with a built-in IDE, including resource editor.
In fact, it is really very lightweight and can be run from a USB stick with some manual tweaking.
It's indeed a really small download of just 6 mb and you can even download an optional Win32 API help file which is really useful while doing development.
The compiler also comes with a C tutorial, as well as good user documentation detailing how to use the integrated Win32 resource editor "wedit", there's also an advanced manual about more complex development tasks.
Dev-C++ is a nice and fast IDE which works well with MingW.
But it's all been asked and answered before ...
MinGW adds its own crap. Install your VC express properly and save yourself a lifetime of trouble.
Btw, you don't need to use Visual Studio for its compiler or vice versa. The oddity of missing a build dll is probably because you are not looking at the right path.
If you are building C DLLs you really would benefit from its command line toolset and utilities, sdks, easy config etc. MS lock-in proprietary extensions are widely used (in context of you trying to emulate another dll), and last thing you need is chasing cross compiler issues..
GCC + any text editor such as VIM is a very light alternative.
For Windows Development, all you need is inside MinGW
Edit: If you are in dire need of an IDE you can also use the MinGW tools from Eclipse with the CDT plugin. Although it adds weight to the solution because of the installation of Eclipse, this is what I really use to build my small DLLs (JNI wrappers in my case).
You can setup your small and direct makefiles or let Eclipse do it automatically for you and concentrate only on the source files (*.h, *.c).
The best part of using this approach instead other IDE is that you do not need Eclipse to further build the DLL, since the underlying project files generated are standard ones directly usable by integrated dev inside MinGW (or any Unix distro) such as make, configure, automake, and so on.
I'll second the vote for Code::Blocks, it's what I use (despite having VS 2008 installed as well). It is very simple and lightweight but has basically all the features you'd expect out of an IDE. It comes with several predefined project templates for all kinds of C and C++ development, including templates for DLLs.
Download the version that includes MinGW and you get a complete lightweight IDE ready to start compiling. You can also easily configure it to use the Visual Studio compiler instead of gcc if you prefer.
try Open Watcom. A cross-platform product, well-supported by the community, lets you develop in DOS, Windows, OS/2 etc for a lot of platforms. Version 1.8 was released recently. Has a light-weight IDE indeed
