SGI releases "Jessie" to the Open Source

SGI has released "Jessie" to the Open Source World. Jessie is an IDE for use on top of current development tools in the Linux OS. Here is a screenshot of Jessie. Note: The page is a bit outdated (it doesn't mention that there are some IDE for Linux such as CodeWarrior of CodeFusion). Thanks for Linux Today for the story.

Re:Fonts

The best fonts in the Unix world are, unsurprisingly, on SGI machines. You can pick up a used Indigo2 for pretty cheap nowadays, and use it as a front-end for your Linux systems. That's what I did, and I'm happy as a clam.

I just wish people wouldn't keep on using Helvetica on their web pages - that's the only bad SGI font :-(.

The Enlightenment window manager comes with some nice readable fonts - you might want to try that too.

etags

> of course there probably is already elisp out there that does this...

Of course there is. It's called etags. You run the program like this:
etags `find /source/of/project -type f | grep \.[cCh]+p*$`
You unfortunately have to do this for each directory, though i suspect that you can define things out to use just one etags file. Then you just hit meta-. when the cursor is over a struct, variable, function, etc. and it brings you right to the definition, opening up all necessary files. Add in hooks to saving files in cc-mode, and you can auto-update your tags file when you save. I do this and it's so fast I don't even notice it happening (Admittedly, I'm on a 633 MHz Alpha, but even so, it is fast in and of itself). I highly recommend it. That and building with make in your xemacs window so that you can just middle click on a compile error and be brought to it, and you've got a large part of an IDE right there.

Remember the Mantra: "Emacs can do everything."
