Linux IDE

[erai]

I Just got UBUNTU installed on my computer. What IDE do you suggest for C/C++?

[Bazzy]

I personally suggest Code::Blocks
See http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/7263/ for more info on IDEs

[1yR4jE8b]

I recommend Netbeans myself, you can install both using the Ubuntu Software Center.

[PanGalactic]

The Eclipse Helios and CDT 7 rock.

I personally flip flop. I used pico (really cool), Emacs (too much commands but defiantly powerful, and Code::blocks (One I'm use too).

[JoR]

It's no IDE but I'm very happy with using gedit (the default texteditor on Ubuntu) and plain Makefiles or directly g++ from the commandline.
- Gives me full control

[Bazzy]

IDEs give you the same control as makefiles and command line but they also provide other features...

[JoR]

Well... How can you tell how much control I have when using an IDE? Often, I'm already losing control when waiting for them to load :P

I guess it comes down to personal preference.

[Bazzy]

Good IDEs allow you to type/edit command line and use makefiles, you regain the time you pay on startup on project management

[1yR4jE8b]

I despise gedit because it lacks a very fundamental feature of any code-editor: code-folding.

When you have a 2000 line file, not having folding is a massive pain.

[PanGalactic]

@darkestfright: When I run into a 2000 line source file, code folding is the least of my worries.

But I agree with you. gedit is little better than VIM for software development. Worse really, since it doesn't have regex search/replace.

[JoR]

Good IDEs allow you to type/edit command line and use makefiles
The commandline allows me to do that as well.
you regain the time you pay on startup on project management
No, I don't.

@JoR: This isn't a conversation about you using an IDE vs other tools. This was a question asked by the OP about what IDE we'd suggest for him.

The link provided at the top, or an article I wrote a few years ago is definitely still valid.

You can do most things an IDE offers manually by using a command line and a text editor, but this is often times slower and more prone to human error. This is fine if the projects you are working on consist of only a few small files, but larger more complex projects benefit greatly from using an IDE.

IDE's offer: quick compilation, code-assist, source-control integration, multiple-projects into a single solution/workspace, quick and easy configuration of the build environment, code generation.

[JoR]

Zaita, do we discuss the question if IDE's are suprerior to other tools now or not?
If we don't, what does you post add to the topic then?

Otherwise, I can just say that still disagree with your and Bazzys statements and encourage everyone to make his or her own experiences with AND without using an IDE.

[Bazzy]

The OP specifically asked for an IDE
;^)

IDE is for dummies! Just use vi + gcc


Just kidding :D

I suggest the Code::Blocks IDE. The Code Blocks's official website is:
http://www.codeblocks.org/

[moorecm]

I use vi. I don't see what all the fuss is about... They all do the trick.

[davermont]

I use Eclipse with CDT 7; it plays well with the GNU toolchain & make.

I have just posted a Linux Vim programmers aid at Vim Online called Vimake which acts like an IDE in that you can compile most popular programming languages such as C/C++ Objective-C Nasm Gas(as) ect at the touch of a button. You could give it a try.
