Question... I have just installed Linux. Is there any convient way to install a compiler that would be compatible with OGL or SDL that I could develop a cross-platform version of OHR engine. It seems that there's not much in way of actual support, I have download a tremdeous amount of files, and it still didn't work. Any ideas?

whats the problem, having a gcc installation and just downloading libsdl and/or opengl (ogl?) should be as simple as that. including the right headers and -lsdl or -lopengl (maybe mesa?) or something of the sort..

I think he's asking for an IDE that doesn't take 4 hours to set up and configure and require you to read 50 pages of docs to use.

That would be correct. My friend had KDevelop installed, and whereas it's a really neat installation, the installation provided by www.kdevelop.org (I think) provided 99 files to download, requiring over 200 MB or so of installation space, and downloading the files besides. I can't be bothered with all of the details of installing a simple GUI-based IDE. I want to work on that most important part... developing a program. Not to mention that one fatal mistake would result in needing to re-install the OS again. I know I have an editor that will supply the necessary highlighting, but without going into a terminal and running cplusplus or an equivalent, I can't have an easy install. I love Dev-Cpp, but it's appearanlt only available readily in Windows, which isn't an optin at this point-- my Windows is beyond recovery without removing SuSE, and that's not even a guarantee at this point. Any ideas?

no matter what he uses he'll have to download libsdl and set the include dirs, and set the libraries to link in the end. nothing is gonna pop outta the box with this stuff.
if you cant config your IDE for sdl, or probably configure your project level options for sdl, how do you have the patience to actually code?

Ya see, this is why you should use Debian.
apt-get install kdevelop
Done :)

yum is great- I use it all the time on my yellow-dog install.

if this installs kdevelop and sdl then i'd be surprised.
getting an ide installed on gentoo is a snap too, i won't bother giving the command line.
at least its linux.

Hmmm... A command line? Well, it took be a bit of research, since I'm new to Linux, but SuSE is *far* more complex than either of your command lines. I just clicked on YaST, chose a new FTP mirror, check-marked kdevelop3, and clicked on "Finish". So now that I've got that out of my hair, I'm working on the project once more. I also found a nifty KDE GUI builder tool, which won't help me much, but will set up a framework for the window (until, of course, I add a full-screen mode to the mess).
So now that I've learned what I'm doing, progress is emminent. Still had a problem with some of the other things, but that was more my fault than SuSE. It's a learning cycle, that's all.

Bah. Eveyone has a pet Linux distribution.
I've never trusted Suse ever since it corrupted my hard disk, but I do like YaST.

Funny you should mention that your system was corrupted. Not sure what happened on my system, but the bootloader won't load anything but Linux. Not that I lost anything on my Windows partition, it just... won't boot Windows. I'm looking for a way to restore Window's ability to work, which likely involves making a system disk from another system and simply booting that way. Annoying, yes, but I can live with it. Partition magic is waiting for me once I get back into Windows; that will fix my boot-loader problem, then I'll just have to upgrade my bootloader to... probably BootMagic. Oh well.
At least SuSE loads on my computer. Red Hat 9.1 went through all 3 installation CDs and then decided it didn't even want to load into the Kernel. It just sat there for at least an hour (I just wandered off and came back) with a black screen, and a mouse pointer of the "busy" variety.
And, so far, I haven't found anything that I've missed. Once I stepped over, and went into Linux, I found everything's greener here. I installed a simple package that lets me draw a KDE GUI interface, which I can presumably import directly into KDevelop with little effort. I've got a spell-checker that even is correcting my words right now as I type a reply onto the forum.
And I can listen to all of my music, and virtually all of my videos. So yea, I'd like to have my Windows back for a couple of lousy reasons, but technically I could live without ever seeing Windows again. At least, until I have to log in to Windows at work. Every time I get back into Windows at work, I remember how... lousy... canned it is. And I appreciate the fact that I can't get in at home.
Mind you, I love RH, but it just didn't install this time around. Might be something with an incompatibility issue. I'm not good enough to hunt it down, so an alternative was my only alternative.
Well, enough of that.
Developing is progressing again; I can finally do programming again. And I plan on having somebody place a DNS entry for my IP address so I can run a web server here. I'll probably be offering hosting as well for those who need space for a project, or other stuff. I have more than enough disk space left. And I'll probably set up a POP3 or web-mail service. Won't have the 100MB/user limit like Yahoo or anything, unless I get paid to help upgrade to more hard drives.
