building typical devel box for C java etc

[onash]

Hi,
I have installed Kubuntu for first time coming from OpenSuSE. new to apt-get.
So far all works fine.
Just wondering is there a good doc on what to install
to get a nice programmers desktop.
gtk libs qt c++
Maybe there is some package name that apt-get uses for a complete set?
make automake ... all the normal stuff to build from source with linux.
thanks
ON.

Re: building typical devel box for C java etc

i don't think there is a meta package that installs ALL the necessary stuff for development.
perhaps it's just too much stuff and they haven't done it yet.

the "build-essential" package has some stuff in it.
gcc, g++, make, libc6-dev, and some more...

you might also want to try automatix.
it's an installer, basically, and has all the popular non linux specific applications in it.
firefox, skype, mule, acrobat, ...
in the "programming tools" menu you'll find such stuff as: java, IDEs (eclipse, netbeans, ...), etc.
some people do not like it and will advise you against it.
i'm lazy, so i like it...
