configure -build=debug -enable-roofit -enable-minuit2 -enable-builtin-freetype configure -enable-roofit -enable-minuit2 -enable-builtin-freetype #now you are set up to compile ROOT for both normal use and debugging #you no longer need admin rights to install something here Since you will at some point end up with multiple ROOT versions (switching from one to another) I recommend this setup: While you can install ROOT in any folder you wish it is recommended to install it to a location which does not require admin right. This can be obtained by compiling ROOT with a debug flag. However, if you want to debug ROOT applications down to ROOT objects, you need a debug version of ROOT. A 'How to' is given on the ROOT homepage. You can either download a binary for your system or compile it from source. If you already familiar with the usage of Eclipse for ROOT you can skip to the next section. This tutorial aims to introduce Eclipse as and IDE for code development involving ROOT.

The IDE should understand both header files and provide proper code completion.Īnd it would be great if it showed corresponding documentation as well. I give more importance to features than to speed.Īs for code completion, it should support both the standard libraries, as well as what is included in the header files. The purpose of this thread isn't to get replies like 'IDE x rocks!' but to get constructive messages like 'I use X because it supports this feature which other IDEs don't.' Well, at least they all have code completion. I never used Netbeans, or Eclipse CDT, or Code Blocks but google told me they seem to be good. (2) because it doesn't support code completion nor bzr integration (it's hard coded to subversion) (1) one reason was the lame window cycle shortcut And by that I mean code completion and any other nice features like: memory leaks detection, debugger integration with gdb, makefiles, doxygen documentation support, custom version control, etc. I have replaced xemacs (1) with kdevelop (2) for my C++ project and now I wish to replace it with something 'smarter'.
