Re: [gtk-list] Best tool ?

//Hi,

Hi,

//Here's what I found for memory checking:
//- checker
//- ccmaloc
//- electric-fence
//My programs are and will be in C++.

I have used ccmalloc, which I find to be fairly useful. It has been said on 
this list that some gtk+ developers use electric fence, so somebody (else) on 
this list must have an opinion about that. :)

//For distribution:
//- automake
//- autoconf
//- libtool

Those are complementary. Libtool, I believe, is used to compile static and 
dynamic libraries. If your product is a single monolithic program, you'll not 
need libtool for that. Automake and autoconf are used together to increase 
portability and ease of compilation.

//What should I use for documenting (making man pages, info and/or html
//docs) ? 

Erm, you might want to look at DocBook, an SGML format (?) that can generate 
lots of kinds of documentation. Somebody posted pointers to that recently on 
this list...

//TIA,

FWIW, YW, but YMMV. :)

//Ionutz

Johannes.
