After working for 4 years in WINDOWS world, I have got chance to work on non windows platform. With these tough days, as a beginner, I could share this much for now.
GNU -
GNU is an organization mainly in the area of Open Source software. Richard Stallman started it. It has been well known for the developments and distribution of tools, utilities, Applications etc. used in conjunction with Unix OS. GNU softwares are distributed with General Public License (GPL). Few applications / tools known to me -
1. GCC - Compiler used for languages like - C, C++, Objective C etc. Now the latest version is - 4.3.1. I am working on little older - 3.2.2 (February 05 release). It supports many languages as well as hardware platforms. With several setting, it can be customized and made to suit our business.
2. GDB - Debugger tool. With command line, it appeared tough for me to use as have migrated from Windows!
3. DDD - Something for my rescue. It uses GDB debugger and provides user interface to some extent. So its a user interface debugger for UNIX / Linux programmers.
Thats all for this article, please share your views.
