Being pretty tired of M$ products in general(and non-standard compliancy in their C++ compiler im seriously considering going the linux way. But what kind of IDEs are available under linux? I tried KDevelop at one time, and didnt really like it. I once tried Dev-C++ under windows, and i found it very functional, and i was under the impression that it was available for linux, but now i cant find it(apart from some over 1 year old sourceforge stuff about)... So does Dev-C++ for linux exist, and where can get it? And if not, are there any worthy competitors apart from KDevelop?

It seems so: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10639

Anjuta.

If you''re ever bored, try working without an IDE (i.e with a terminal or two, and your favorite text editor), you may just like it.

But the dates for the Dev-C++ for linux is one year back!
Perhaps its just dead in the water....

Anyway, that Anjuta IDE looks pretty good, when i get my new harddrive and install linux ill give it a try..

Thanks for helping out.

Yes, perhaps (I didn''t bother to check the date, although I should have given what you''d said). Anjuta is better anyway .

Just tested out Anjuta on my laptop(it has little linux partition), seems to be a pretty good IDE, weird default color scheme though

The smart thing about Dev-C++ would have been that it existed on both windows and linux, which can be beneficial if you suddenly have to continue working on your project on another platform.

Exactly!
I find XEmacs (www.xemacs.org) and mingw32 (www.mingw.org) to be more than enoght for using the same tools on different OS.

Just had a look at some XEmacs screenshots, and wow, that is one *ugly* program! Personally i prefer programs thats makes it easier to view the text, not harder
Also things like the collapsing funtion definitions(in Anjuta) seem very useful, especially when writing graphics code which tends to take up alot of space, and easily makes things impossible to work with.

Perhaps i should be more precise, im looking for an IDE somewhat like Visual Studio, things like collapsing funtion definitions(even if i still cant get it work in VS with C++, works in Anjuta though) and the whole intellisense thing can be incredibly helpful. Also, not having to mess with make files is also a great help (but perhaps i should try it, just so i can say i know how its done....)

It may not be easy to view the text, but it''s certainly easy to change the text in just about any way (once you learn how). After all, the Emacs philosophy is to ''do everything'' . I never really got used to Emacs for writing code (although I do use it for some things), so I just use NEdit.
