02393: Programming in C++
If you use your own laptop, please try to install the software before
the start of the course.
If you run into problems with the installations, the teaching assistants will try to help you in the exercise sessions.
C++
Software for Windows
- Cygwin
- The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools and
utilities for Windows. The system includes g++ (GCC) 3.4 , the
GNU C++ compiler almost compatible with the ANSI C++ standard. This
version comes with tons of support tools - almost a full unix
environment. Does also include the XEmacs editor.
The installer will ask you which packages to install (and you can
run this installer again later to install further
packages). For this course you should need gcc, gmake, and
svn.
- IrrLicht Open
Source 3D graphics/game engine that we will use in the
exercises.
- Get yourself a nice editor or IDE (see below).
C++
Software for Mac
- Most Mac installations have already tools like g++ and
make installed (as commands in Terminal) as well as the
XCode development environment. (If not, probably you can find them
on the CDs that shipped with it.)
- IrrLicht Open
Source 3D graphics/game engine that we will use in the
exercises. Unfortunately this is hard to install on the Mac. A
tutorial is available on our Campusnet page.
C++
Software for Linux
- The tools like gcc, make, and svn as well
as editors like emacs should
be included in all distributions.
- IrrLicht Open
Source 3D graphics/game engine that we will use in the
exercises.
Editors and graphical IDEs
- There are many nice free editors suitable for programming for all platforms like
SciTE or
Emacs.
- Some people prefer to work with IDEs. The most popular free
ones are NetBeans
and Eclipse.
