CLion

IntelliJ CLion is a heavy IDE for cross-platform C++. Good for Intellisense-like assistance.

Ultimate Edition

I have a full license for my open-source work, granted a year at a time. Download the tar, untar it here, and set up a symlink:

~m/development/intellij/clion-###
ln -s clion-#### clion

During installation, it will ask where to put startup script, make it machine-specific for now to handle diff version, eg:

/home/m/development/scripts/ubuntu/viper/clion

Project Settings

• You typically have a CMakeLists.txt file that defines your CMake project. Clion can open this!
• Next you should set up build/run/debug settings.
• BUILD: Go to File > Settings > Build > CMake
  • Debug is typically there as a default. Hit the copy button and you'll get a Release too (silly).
  • I set them up under cmake-debug and cmake-release (I remove the middle -build- part).
• RUN/DEBUG: Go to Run > Edit Configurations...
  • Application > at_server (or other project name) - this is a debug setup
  • Copy it to create a release setup, call it [at_server ** LIVE **] (or whatever is best)
  • Set both of them to run in [..] (the parent dir of the cmake build dir)

First time clean+build

First time building should be done with scripts:

• cda && cd cmake-debug && ./clean.sh && ./build.sh && cd ..
• cd cmake-release && ./clean.sh && ./build.sh && cd ..

boost

• Boost should be built as usual:
  • unzip a release to development/boost_##_# and set up a development/boost symlink
  • cd to boost and use build_boost_release_and_debug
  • make sure .bashrc sets its variable to the currently-installed version
