Produktdetaljer

The promise of having control over their environment draws programmers to UNIX. It offers powerful tools for the initiated within an operating system that can be customized and tuned in almost unlimited ways. Programmers use UNIX because it lets them do what they want. And they like to see the source code for the software they work with. So it's no surprise the most popular programming tools on UNIX are free. They're easy to get, easy to customize, and better than many tools put out by vendors. They also offer a great deal of power. And the source code is publicly available. This book and CD combination is a complete package for programmers who are new to UNIX or who would like to make better use of the system. The tools come from Cygnus Support, Inc., and Cyclic Software, companies that provide support for free software. The tools on the CD include: GNU Emacs, the legendary text editorgcc, the C and C++ compiler that immediately established itself as the best UNIX compiler for robustness and optimization GNU libraries (including C++ libraries) The gdb debugger RCS, a tool for backing up and maintaining multiple versions of source files GNU make, the most powerful version of that utility for managing builds The book provides an introduction to all these tools for a C programmer. Previous experience with UNIX is not required. The CD-ROM in this book contains binaries for several popular UNIX systems, including Sun SPARC4 running SunOS 4.1.3, Sun SPARC4 running Solaris 2.4, HP 9000/700 running HPUX, IBM RS/6000 running AIX 3, SGI Iris/Indigo running Irix 5.3, and Alpha running Digital UNIX. Complete source code and scripts for configuration, building, and installation are also included.

Software Development Editorial Review

**** "Programming with GNU Software: Tools from Cygnus Support" serves as a practical guide for developers transitioning from the user-friendly environment of Windows-based integrated development environments (IDEs) to the more fragmented and command-line-oriented Unix programming landscape. Many users praised the book for its clear explanations that help demystify essential Unix programming utilities, such as cpp, emacs, gdb, make, rcs, and gprof. Readers have found this book particularly beneficial if they are new to GNU tools, reporting that it provides sufficient foundational knowledge to get started with these tools in a productive manner. It collects crucial information that is often scattered across various resources, making it a useful reference for beginners who may feel overwhelmed by the command-line interface of Unix/Linux. However, the book does face criticism for being overly verbose about the virtues of free software and lacking in-depth technical material. Some reviewers felt that the book could have included more advanced details, particularly regarding key topics like pattern rules in make and CVS, as the current level of depth seems more fitting for an introductory guide than a comprehensive reference. Additionally, several readers expressed disappointment over the book's length, suggesting that a more expanded edition could better cover the complex subject matter. Despite these critiques, the Consensus is that "Programming with GNU Software" remains a valuable resource for newcomers to the GNU environment, while intermediate users may find better-suited texts for specific tools. **
