poide don't see a (special) partition

[nicolas.sitbon]

Hi,
I'm currently testing the RC2 of pelles C, and I encounter a problem, I want to use the IDE for linux programming. I use Expandrive (http://www.expandrive.com/) in order to mount my linux partition on Windows, then I want to use the browse utility of Pelles C (for completion code) but  I can't select the partition because I don't see it and if I try to type the correct partiton letter, it tells me : "unable to change folder 'E:\'".


as you can see, partition E: doesn't appear...
thanks for your help.

Christian had an other way to use Pelles C for Linux:

Look at:

It seems you don't understand me:
I program on Windows for Linux, the linux server doesn't have wine nor server X.

I program on Windows for Linux, the linux server doesn't have wine nor server X.

I think, that Pelles C is the best (freeware-) C-development-package for Windows I know. But when I had to write programs for Linux on Windows, I would take an IDE like Code::Blocks (http://www.codeblocks.org) or CodeLite (http://www.codelite.org) which work together with GCC (MinGW) and many other compilers and thay are made for both worlds Windows and Linux.
I haven't developed programs for Linux (exept perhaps a "Hello world!" program ) but if you don't know this IDE give them a try.

I know codeblock and codelite but they don't parse the header so you don't have code completion...

Hi,

yes, code:block is really good. I like wxdev/c++ too.
For accessing Linux partitions from within windows i can advice the use of this here its really good:

Thanks but the problem is the same:
- my linux partition is JFS
- I need a sshfs client on Windows

expandrive is the best tool for that, I never had any problem with other software, it's strange.

[Seltsamuel]

Hi,

i have no experience with JFS sorry.

But http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ has code completion. Maybe you should give it a try. I mostly use this or Code::Blocks when i port Unix/Linux Code.

Is it possible to specify the source path to browse for code completion?

[Seltsamuel]

Hi,

yes, when i understand right what you want :-)
http://wxdsgn.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wxdsgn/trunk/wxdevcpp/Help/html/editor_codecompletion.html

EDIT:
The best of this Suite is its under heavy development not like other dev/c++ projects that stagnate since months and years.

I've just tried wxdevc++, the stable doesn't see the partition, and the release candidate sees it, create the cache completion file, but the code completion in the editor doesn't work, nothing happens.

[AlexN]

Is it possible to specify the source path to browse for code completion?

At Code::Blocks you can choose at settings Editor -> Code-completion and symbols browser the C/C++ parser and there you have the options:
-> Follow LOCAL includes
-> Follow GLOBAL includes
-> Parse preprocessor directives

[nicolas.sitbon]

code block doesn't see the partition too.

[Seltsamuel]

Hi,

did you add your sources to the completion cache of wxdev/c++ ?
Maybe you should take some minutes to look at the documentation its well made.

I looked at the documentation, it's not difficult, I can add the directory with the release candidate version but the code completion doesn't work, I also tried the stable version, but it doesn't see the partition, so...
