I am exploring ways of con= figuring emacs to function more as an IDE rather than as a simple text edit= or. Of course I want syntax highlighting and preferably some code completio= n. I also want separate buffers to allow shell commands and to M-x compile.= I want it to open into this multi-buffer form automatically when visiting = a C source file, rather than having to launch each buffer separately. I wil= l be using this mainly for Linux/BSD Unix development, though I also code o= n Mac OS X (again Unix) and Windows (Windows 7 64bit). I explored the Emacs Starter Kit posted by Phil Hagelberg (technomancy), bu= t it seems very oriented towards dynamic languages and use of git. I use em= acs mainly for developing in C and use mercurial for VC. I am also a relati= ve newbie making configuration of emacs relatively daunting for me. I am now playing with CEDET and the Emacs Code Browser (ECB) package which = is more along the lines of what I want, but is still not perfect. Any suggestions on customizing emacs as a C programming IDE welcome.
