“Linux software development tool kits that rival the programming
aids designed for Windows and Unix are starting to appear. Analysts
said the new integrated development environments will help put
Linux on a par with the more mature operating systems.
“Cygnus Solutions today is unveiling its Linux integrated
development environment, which is the first complete open source
tool kit for the upstart operating system. The IDE, called Code
Fusion, includes source code editors, compilers, management aids
and code debuggers. Tools integrated into a shared graphical
environment save developers time and make it easier to resolve
trouble spots in code.”
