Kate is a really nice editor. Syntax higlighting for many languages. expandable functions/classes. Especially I like the embedded console. I just cd'' the embedded console to my project directory. Have my makefile and all the source files opened in kate. When I want to compile and test I just type make in the embedded console and ./[insert executable filename here]. But currently I''m doing console apps only.

btw makefiles isn''t that hard to write. I read the part about make in "Programming games with linux" (free online book), played with it a bit and found out that I wasn''t that difficult.

Makefiles are certainly not hard to write, but they can be time consuming to write by hand if you have a big project.

I actually starting writing a small C program yesterday that will scan a directory for C/C++ source files and output a simple Makefile, that way the only editing you have to do is adding what libraries and such to link to. I''ll post it here if anyone''s interested when I''m done.
