This is very annoying.I would like to compile the program in vi itself, see the errors,go to the line causing the error,and then if the compile is succsessful run the program.
Is this possible ? (I guess this is possible with some tinkering with .vimrc)
In command mode (SHIFT-:) (hehe)
:!command
runs a shell command
for more info on compiling and error checking see section 30.1 of vim user guide. You can go there by doing :help and navigating ahead.
Are there any good ide's exclusively for character mode ? I checked out freshmeat but did not find any good ide (I've used Anjuta but I would like console based ide)
No clue about IDEs but I guess a simple editor and command line combination is better than a IDE, at least in my opinion, under Linux it is already very well integrated :-) using editors like vi, emacs and shells like bash, tcsh and GNU readline packages, man pages, info pages etc.
You might want to consider using screen command to have your editor open in one window while a prompt in another, and docs in third and so on...
have fun,
