Common IDE for OpenLB

[PhilippS]

Hello,

I am new to OpenLB and trying to find an IDE I am comfortable with. I used Clion previously, but it does not handle Makefile-based projects well and so does not seem to recognize the module imports.

I guess it makes sense to get accustomed to the same IDE as you are using. Do you as a working group use the same one or two IDEs (probably VS Code or Code::Blocks?)?

Best regards
Philipp

Which module imports? We are only using plain header includes.

There is no common IDE used by everybody in the working group as this is a very personal choice. Some colleagues use VS Code, some plain terminal Vim, I personally use Emacs, some others even use just the standard plain text editor provided by their distribution.

As far as I know, the ones using VS Code also use auto completion and so on there (both non-AI and AI based, there are many different plugins available)

I previously experimented with using language server based autocomplete in Vim/Emacs but in the end I always reverted to plain ctags and code-wide full text search.

Even the import of olb2D.h in any of the examples, e.g. cavity2d.cpp. I suspect this is because of the relative path in the Makefile. This is also sometimes difficult for PyCharm to handle with Python projects.

Thank you very much for the info!
