I find make, cmake, and the other stuff annoying also. For personal stuff I just use a build.sh file. For debugging I use gf2, which is a gdb frontend. Hopefully raddebugger gets ported to linux soon. One nice tool I like on linux for prototyping is the tiny c compiler, because it compiles 7x faster than gcc or clang. It is also much faster than the visual studio compiler. I remember trying to get the tiny c compiler to work on windows; it can compile things, but I couldn't get it to generate pdb files for debug info.
Wow, I'm surprised you were able to make out what I was saying through all those drunk smartphone keyboard typos (it's the keyboard that was drunk, not me, no sir).
I just don't understand why people want to live like that in C++ land. It almost feels like masochism. Especially considering VC++ basically "just works" in comparison. Why do Linux users hate DevEx so much?
