Developer software?

[manceed]

i just installed Redhat for the first time (iso). I was wondering if developer software is supposed to come with it. it says it is supposed to , and if it doesent, what is the most popular software people use for c\c++, java

It's been a while since I'v done a RH install .. but you should choose "custom" as the install option and make sure to install the developer packages.

A standard workstation install wont give you a compiler and the associated tools.

I'm no coder, but AFIK gcc (compiler) and glibc (shared libs) will be on your install disks. Does RH have a "developer" package in install options?

Lots of guys seem to do raw code with vim or emacs. If you're looking for a "development environnment" package you might want to check out www.freshmeat.net (http://www.freshmeat.net) and www.sourceforge.org. (http://www.sourceforge.org.)

KDE and GNOME each have development kits specific to their desktop environments.

Have fun !!

I'm no coder either. A friend of mine at work that does C++ was impressed when I showed him KDevelop. He found it almost as good as the MS VC++ IDE.

If you installed KDE and the development packages, you should have KDevelop somewhere in the menus.
