How to make the immigration from visual studio to develop on linux ?

For more than 10 years I writing code in C ++\C on Windows systems (using visual studio).

I need to develop some application on linux - using C++ language.

I do not know the Linux operating system.

I installation of Ubuntu 16.04 version and Eclipse IDE and all what i need to write a code in C++ on Eclipse.


I did not realize how complicated will be to immigrate from Visual studio to linux.

I can't do nothing here.
I don't understand how to do the basic thinks here.
Event the simple code is kind of crazy to write here.

I don't understand why i can't focus on writing the code (like on visual studio) and i need to focus also on how to compile the code and deal with all the 'not Important' issues.

1. Is there any IDE that i can work like i work on microsoft visual studio ?
2. Is there any good manual that teach how to compile on linux ( not just simple GCC ) ?

Did you install the C++ compiler?

Did you install all the necessary additions to enable compiling C++ programs using Eclipse?

Do you realize that Visual Studio is an IDE and Linux is an operating system, two different animals?

IMO Eclipse can be a little tricky to install for compiling C/C++ programs. Have you considered another IDE? There are a great many IDE options available, for example Code::Blocks and Kdevelop to name but two. Use your favorite search engine to locate others if you wish. Also there is a lot of information available on how to properly configure Eclipse to work with C/C++.
