CodeLite IDE support

[mbarhon]

Hi there,

since Code::Blocks IDE is quiet unstable, buggy and occasionally freezes, especially on Linux (Ubuntu 16.10+) I have to look for another multi-platform IDE for C++. Now I mess with CodeLite IDE and it looks promising. It's possible officially support this IDE? - create a basic workspace and project, or is there someone who have some experience with this IDE in combination with Leadwerks? :-)

Thanks :-)

Yes, CodeBlocks is terrible. I have been considering CLion but the $200 price tags makes that not an option to force people to.

How good is the interface with GDB in CodeLite?

Hi Josh.

Yes CLion is great but that price is not for everyone :-(

I started with CodeLite today, but GDB interface looks similar like in CodeBlocks.

Maybe 2 years ago CodeBlocks was really good multiplatform IDE, I used it for C++ and C - Atmel projects at work. It's sad, but I have to say that now everything is better than CodeBlocks :-(

You might want to consider supporting cmake. cmake is able to generate projects for different IDEs. So you only have to support the cmake-files and by that you gain support for various IDEs. cmake can e.g. generate Make-files, as well as CodeBlocks-, CodeLite-, Eclipse-, or Sublime-Projects.

Though I really don't know much about it, it looks like something worth looking into!

Thank you for advice, I know cmake but never worked with it
