What tools you use?

[arseniuss]

Well, since we've bumped this old thread...

I thought this topic might be useful for them who are searching for tools to use.

[Antti]

On host computer: Windows 7, VirtualBox, and Ultraedit text editor. On virtual computer: Slackware Linux with make, binutils, and gcc.

[rdos]

Host: Windows XP/7
Tools: OpenWatcom IDE, C/C++ and assembler
64-bit specific: JWASM, GCC, binutils, newlib
Boot: Native USB, Native IDE, GRUB
Target: 32-bit x86 compatibles

[Nessphoro]

Host: Windows 8
Tools: Visual Studio 2012 for editing and compiling UEFI code, GCC from cygwin to compile the OS code (Everything is neatly made, so F5 is VS2012 opens a VM machine with my stuff loaded)
I also use Sublime Text 2 for Assembly editing (Yeah, I wrote the ASM highlighting my self (that includes the whole instruction set))

I heard VBox had a debug mode, but never managed to get it to work on Win7
Hence, I use Bochs' debugger

[BMW]

SciTE, GCC, NASM, bash scripts, dd, QEMU. All on Xubuntu.

[bemk]

gcc, ld and nasm for compiling and stuff.
git, for version control, being pushed to a lot of servers.
kvm, virtualbox and an old P4 machine for testing.
Make to keep scripts from breaking.
My own build system (called by make) to configure and compile the thing.

The build system is now written in Java, but I'm thinking of doing a rewrite to C/C++ if I get the time.

I've done development under Ubuntu, Mint, Debian and Fedora (in chronological order).
I've written code using gedit, kate and eclipse with vim plugin (also in chronological order).

A friend of mine is using kate and mint.
Another friend using Ubuntu and gedit (I believe).
The third friend actually managed to get the compilation working under win 8 with cygwin.

Since my prior post is now completely wrong,
Host: Ubuntu 12.04.2
Compiler: i586-elf-gcc cross compiler which seems to insist on defining __STDC_HOSTED__ regardless of what I do.
Assembler: nasm
Linker: i586-elf-ld
Other build tools: make, losetup, mkfs, cp
Editor: eclipse, gedit
Bootloader: GRUB 2, which was difficult to install on a disk image.
Filesystem: ext2
Emulators: Bochs, Qemu
