This assume you already cloned the code from git

Want to setup an IDE to debug / devellop synfig ?

Here, we will not discuss of witch IDE is better or if real hacker do all with vi/emacs

Eclipse from gnu/linux

First build !

This will generate all needed makefile

• Open "autobuild/synfigstudio-linux-build.sh" and change "DEBUG=0" to "DEBUG=1" (line 74)
• Build from "autobuild/synfigstudio-linux-build.sh"
• During this time install "eclipse" & "eclispe-cdt" package from synaptic or whatever ...

when eclipse installed and synfig builded....

Import synfig (etl / core / studio) projects in Eclipse

Open Eclipse, choose your desired place for the workspace (i recommand not in ./synfig folder if you want to commit, better just above)

For each synfig component (etl / core / studio ...)

1. Eclipse / Menu / Makefile project with existing code
2. Choose your project name (etl / core / studio ...)
3. Select code location (synfig/ETL , synfig/synfig-core or synfig/synfig-studio)
4. Select your toolchain ... and click Finish ... and Wait a litle ...

your now able to build from eclipse.

Want to debug maybe ?

• From "Project Explorer" panel, select your project properties (alt+enter / menu-project or right clicking)
• In "Run/Debug Setting" click "New" or "Edit..." , in C/C++ Application , browse and select the synfig-studio binary from "/home/user/synfig/bin"
