I'm taking a course this semester on C development in a GNU linux
environment. The course web site is:
http://www.cs.dal.ca/~dirk/2132/2132.html
The recommended texts are:
K. N. King, C Programming: A Modern Approach, (Norton, 1996).
K. Reek, Pointers on C, (Addison Wesley, 1997).
B. W. Kernighan and D. M. Ritchie, The C Programming Language, second
edition, (Prentice Hall, 1988).
i'm familiar with only the last one, but remember, i'm not looking
for howtos on programming in C; i'm interested in docs that describe
the entire development environment in linux using the GNU toolset
for people who most likely already know how to program in C, perhaps
coming from a windows environment, and need to know how all the GNU
tools work together.
as i mentioned, there is the book "programming with gnu software" from
o'reilly, but it's getting fairly dated (1995). in a perfect world,
there would be a book like "open source development tools", covering
things like gcc, how libraries work, linkers, make, the autotools,
and so on. sadly, i don't see one out there.
