6 - Going Through the Development Cycle
Now you're up and running - how should a typical day of
programming go? Well, I can't speak for others, but here's
how I lay out my development environment:
- Start up Windows, and run Explorer, pointing to my source directory -
I use it for loading into the editor with drag and drop, and file
maintenance (delete, rename, etc).
- Start up Cygwin, and 'cd' to my source directory.
- Start up an html browser, and load in the front page of the
Franklin documentation, ready to reference.
- Start up my editor, and load my source code.
- Edit and save my source.
- Go into Cygwin, and run my compile via make.
- When successfully compiled, run the debugger, and step through
my code changes.
- Close the debugger, and go back to my source code editor.
- Repeat steps 5-8 until lunch, supper, or bedtime.
