I am doing some C++ cross development – been doing that for a while

  • 0

I am doing some C++ cross development – been doing that for a while on Windows and recently started on Unix.

I suppose what I am after is to simplify Unix development experience – I have a local windows box I do development on, and a remote Solaris box which I use to compile and test code on unix environment.

What I do now – I develop, compiled and test code on Windows (VC++) and once it is done, I move code to Solaris box using Filezilla over SSH. I also use Putty to connect to Solaris box and execute shell commands.

Since I am quite new to unix development – I suppose what I do is by far not optimal and the tools/technics I use not optimal too.

Can you recommend me a better tools – how to move code around more easily and may be a replacement for Putty (which looks quite outdated anyway).

Thanks.

    If by any chance you want to run the same C++ IDE on both Windows and Solaris, I recommend taking a look at Code::Blocks. Also, as I suggested to Charles, running an X server on the Windows box gives you a lot more flexibility than running Putty or similar.
