Gnome Developer Tools Suite
This page is an effort to put together a developer tools suite for GNOME and is in early planning stages.
If you think your module is suitable for a GNOME developer tools suite, please add it to the list of proposed modules.
Proposed Modules
Nemiver(Graphical debugger)
TristanVanBerkom: Moving Marcs relevent comment to this page and cleaning up the official 2.17 devtools page, as Owen did not propose memprof for inclusion at that time and we are way past the module proposal period.
MarcAndreLureau: Should MemProf be in the list
OwenTaylor said: "memprof is currently unmaintained, so nothing will be done here in the the immediate future"
LuisMenina: Maybe Frysk could apply, it was show at GUADEC 2006. http://sourceware.org/frysk/
Brainstorming In conjunction to bundling the excellent existing tools, we should consider some bigger directions
- "Eclipsify GNOME"
- Eclipse makes it really easy for developer to hack new plugins as well as to get at the source of the existing plugins and infrastructure code
- A top notch development environment would make it really easy to access to source to any desktop component, hack it, and try it out (from regular apps to panel applets to various daemons)
- It should be possible to check out the CVS HEAD version of a module, make a local branch (thinking in bzr terms), work on it, and submit a patch back to bugzilla
- It would be great if it were easy to replace your distro's binary version of a component with the source version you are hacking on. This would make itch-scratching very tempting. Not sure whether it's easy/possible.
- This would be a great way to get new blood into the community
See EclipseIdeas for a long list of ideas about how to improve eclipse gnome development.
