Coming from a Microsoft Robotics Studio Windows-based development world, I'd like some guidance concerning my robotics development setup on an Ubuntu computer.
I'm migrating from Windows to Ubuntu for robotics purposes and I've never used a Linux system.
I'd like to start out with good choices concerning development tools (for C/C++ (?!)).
I'm certain the original ROS developers have a certain setup and I wouldn't mind replicating that setup.
I scanned the ROS Developers Guide (nice!), but I need to know:
1.- What is the recommended Linux-based code editor and compiler to use with ROS?
(Emacs with Emacs Code Browser (
http://ecb.sourceforge.net/) and CEDET (
http://cedet.sourceforge.net/) ?)
2- Is there a recommended Linux-based C++ IDE to use? Should I even use an IDE? (Code::Block?)
3- Are 2 monitors recommended instead of one?
4- What did, or currently do the original developers of ROS use as their software development setup?
Thank you for your help with my newbie request.
Sam Q.
