I was able to get gcc3 and g++3 working today. I compiled a few programs where I tested whether or not the libraries on Linux supported templates, virtual functions, etc (they worked). Well, I would really like an IDE to use instead of having to use vim all the time to edit my programs then exit that and compile and link the programs. I would like to know if there is an IDE that supports those "pop-up boxes" that show up like in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. Specifically, those "pop up boxes" that show up when you type a period or a arrow and it displays the possible functions or variables to choose from (i.e. you type "file." and it shows the possible operations such as close and open and stuff.) Whoever thought of that was pretty darn smart. If I could get an IDE that had that capability like MSVC on Linux, that would make my life a lot easier, especially since I''m new to Linux programming. Do you know of any IDE that supports these "pop up boxes"?

If you want a MSVC-like experience try KDevelop. I''m not sure if it supports all of the ''intellisense'' features that MSVC does, but I''ve heard that it supports some of them (I never really used it, I don''t even have it installed any more; I much prefer usings 2 consoles, gcc, make, and NEdit ). Why don''t you give it a try? It can''t hurt .

No autocomplete yet but look for anjuta, kdevelop and there is a version of Dev-C++ for Linux going on,

Personally I find XEmacs more than enought, and DDD is a darn good gdb (debugger) IDE.

Oh yeah, I forgot . Anjuta does have a lot of those features for the standard Unix libraries (GTK+ for example). I''m not sure if it does it for your own code though, I didn''t relaly use it that long before I stopped .

As far as I know, I think Anjuta does it but I can''t say for sure. I haven''t used structs or classes with Linux while using anjuta yet.

The original tools is not bad. In vim can you press Ctrl+n for name completion. Repeat and vim tries to find another match. You can (should) also build from vim. If you are using gvim could that be done by clicking on the hammer. It is better to suspend the program than exit if you are working in a non GUI enviroment.

Here is a introduction to text editing for programmers under linux

"Emacs is a nice operating system. Too bad it lacks a decent text editor"

Fantastic doctrines (like Christianity or Islam or Marxism or Microsoft-bashing) require unanimity of belief. One dissenter casts doubt on the creed of millions. Thus the fear and hate; thus the torture chamber, the iron stake, the gallows, the labor camp, the psychiatric ward - Edward Abbey

Anjuta''s the best IDE for Linux there is, in my opinion.

Hey I am about to try out anjuta, im using kdevelop right now but anjuta looks promising. Dev-c++ is simple but it gets the job done in windows, but for linux I perfer kdevelop (xemacs runs to slow on my machine).

It is foolish for a wise man to be silent, but wise for a fool.

How can I get anjuta to work with my own makefile?
