Compiling C in KDE

[John L Fjellstad]

And before you ask, emacs also let you check the man pages for the
standard functions. Just put your cursor on the function in question,
and type
esc x man

(or just do esc x man, then type in the function in question)

if you run etags on your sources, you can also search for the definition
of your custom functions.  Say, run
etags *.[ch]

Now, in emacs, put the cursor on the function in question
esc . 
emacs will take you to the definition of that function

emacs also makes it easier to program.
Say you want to add a comment in your code
esc ;
(emacs knows the difference between legal C and C++ comments, so in C
this will create /* */, in C++ //, in shell scripts #)

Emacs also let you create skeletons for your files. So for instance,
when I open a new .c file, everything I usually need are already filled
in for me (comments, name, etc etc).  

Check out my dotemacs file at http://www.fjellstad.org/projects/dotemacs
If you backup your .emacs file in your homedirectory and copy this in
place, then try to open a .h file or .c file and see the result.  The
file is pretty well documented, so you could, for instance add a new
field for your class name.

(and before people complain, yes, I pretty sure you can do the same in
vim, it's just that I'm more familiar with emacs).
