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.
There are many books out there that cover the subject. Let me list a
couple:
1. Linux Programming by Example (by Kurt Wall)
2. Linux Programming Unleashed 2nd Edition (by Kurt Wall)
What I recommend especially if you like coffee:
Find your favorite technical bookstore serving coffee and browse the
through the literature on Linux Programming.
My favorites book stores here in the US are
-- BORDERS Books
-- Barnes and Nobles Books
-- Books a Million
What I do is browse the literature with an awesome cup of Java and
select the most suitable books.
