Slighty OFF TOPIC: Setting up development enviroments

[Rick Gibbs <ri...@earthcars.com>]

I apologize if this is pushing the line of "Off Topic" but I couldn't figure
out a better place where I could reach the most professional sofware
developers.

We are currently setting up a development enviroment for a rather large
project and I am looking for advice or resources that could help us be more
productive.  I am always amazed how organized some of the open-source
projects are and how well they work and have learned a lot by studying them.
We have only worked on small 2 developer projects and are going to have a
larger team. What would people recommend for a mixed development enviroment,
Linux, Solaris, and NT for the following:

    Version Control
            - CVS (Seems like the industry standard)
    Build Enviroment
            - GNU Make (looks complicated)
            - JMK
            - others?
    Personal Development Enviroments
            - use the same build scripts ?
            - IDE ?

Any resources or advice would be greatly appreciated.  If this isn't an
appropriate list to post on, where would you recommend?

Thanks

    Rick
