I'm writing this because I'm really tired to work with this buggy Codewarrior and this powerful but "too hard to debug program" GNU compiler. But I ask : Senior developers have to work with such problems or they have good library manuals and more powerful develop tools? I have make a lot of silly libraries and test programs to learn how to use the Yaroze to make games and now that I have written 4000+ line of code in my first full game, Codewarrior (2.0.3) is giving me a lot of problems and Metrowerks is evading my bugs reports! Now I'm wasting a lot of time to make Codewarrior run my routines! I've a little time every day to work on the Yaroze and I'm wasting it trying to make Codewarrior works. When something in my program don't run I have to check if it's a Codewarrior problem and sometime I have to rewrite code to make Codewarrior understand it in the right way! I have thought to put Codewarrior in the basket but trying to debug my game on GNU with my little time is quite impossible! Do I have to program only little games or demos and put them into the net? Do I have to look for a Software House to make my games become real? Hey SONY what about you? Your programmers are working with such silly problems? If the answer is no, why junior developers have to waste a lot of time due to horrible manuals and tools? And you friend programmers what you think about this BIG problem that is seriously delaying our dreams?
