...doesn't require the source files to be in a decendant directory? Anjuta, kDevelop, & Eclipse all seem to. Dev-C++ would be nice, but the linux port was abandoned :/ I would really like a dir layout like this

/poker
      /src
          /makefile
          /*.cpp
          /*.hpp
      /media
          /deck1
          /etc...
      /msvc
           /poker.sln
      /devcpp
      /bcb
      /linux-ide-sans-chunk-blowing
           /poker.?

Speaking of directories, why the hell does Anjuta and KDevelop create these massive directories with a billion files for a simple "Hello World" console application?!

I wish I could say I found one, but nope. Anjuta can be jury-rigged using Makefiles, but the makefile project import was dodgy last I checked. The whole point of an IDE is avoiding manual makefile editing.

Also, they need a decent debugger; something to compete with MSVC 2005 would be nice. ddd just doesn't cut it, and don't get me started on Anjuta.

With the Scintilla code editor already written, I would bet a Gtk#-based IDE could be rigged up pretty quick - AFAIK MonoDevelop only took three months.

Because they still use the god-awful GNU autotools, which should have died a quick death long ago.

Did you try MinGW studio? I may be misremembering (since it's been ages since I tried it out), but I think it supports source files in a non-decendant directory and there's a Linux port for it.

You could try creating soft links to the src and media directories from inside the IDE-specific folders.

Borland C++ BuilderX?

Good call. I've used MinGW Studio before, and it should satisfy Magmai Kai Holmlor's needs.

Don't do this, it confuses most IDEs; Anjuta truncated some of my source files when I tried.

BuilderX either cost money or requires a registration, and I am so sick of registering on every site I visit. I'll check out MinGW Studio.

Sweet! It needs a face-lift (an update to GTK+2) but I can't believe how fast it is. I've grown acustom to bloatware with MSVC 7 & Eclipse.
