Is there any C/C++ programs in linux that has the same capacity as Visual C++. I mean, so I can program, compile and run the program in the same program, so I not have to do/change makefiles and so on.

Personally, I'd say avoid KDevelop if you can. It's the pits imho, I prefer to compile with gcc on the command line. It saves so much hassle.

Personnaly, i like Kdevelop it has its problems i admit but working with makefiles and gcc on the command line is arcaic in my opinion. Applications should help us perform the task at hand and having a program produce the makefile and associated lib dependancies for compilation is great. I want to worry about the programming side of things note what strange switch combination to use with gcc.

Before you are going to start to use any IDE, I recommend you get familiar with the gcc, and autotools. Most of the IDEs rely on those and if you get into trouble you're much better of with some background knowledge of how things is supposed to work. That way all those lines scrolling won't seem so magical and in the best case you're able to fix what the IDE did wrong.

That should be fun :

KDevelop user : presses F8

You :
gcc -c foo.cpp
gcc -c bar.cpp
...
gcc *.o -o foobar

I'm a previously Visual Studio user so I use .cpp. I just think that .cc is too... ah, never mind. Personal taste I suppose :).

Cheers!

Out of curiosity, am I the only one to think that ".cc" screams "C Compiler" and not "C++"? [grin]

I often use gedit with the Shell Command plugin. But I doubt it's what you're looking for.

As for not having to "do" makefiles, you're probably out of luck. Consider taking the plunge and learning how to use them, it's actually not all that hard.

Emacs. [grin]

Seriously though, I actually use emacs, and even though you don't have all the fancy class view widgets and stuff that you have in VS, (I used Visual Studio .NET 2003 before), it works brilliantly. It's just a simple editor! And if you're afraid of makefiles, (I can understand you, they're quite ugly), there are plenty of alternative build systems which seek to replace makefiles with simpler systems. Scons is a good example.

As for KDevelop, I haven't actually tried it myself. But I have been very curious about it. I meant to try it, but I just love working in emacs, so I decided not to. It looks very impressive, though.

Unix is an IDE
