MS Visual C++ Replacement for Linux?

[jrbush82]

Howdy,

I am fairly new to C++, as I am just learning about classes and such. I use Linux on a regular basis, but I am interested in programming in an environment like that of Visual C++. Programs like this for Linux? I like the syntax highlighting and having the compiler right there available to run at anytime.

Thanks,
Jason Bush

Borland's opensource Kylix3 is a C++ Builder & Delphi for the linux world. Its simpler to use then Microsoft's Visual C++.

The other linux IDEs are Kdevelope and Ajunta.

Actually, there is something that really seems missing under linux: small projects management.
Why I have to use Anjuta or KDevelop and the dozen of files they produce if I have a project with few files and lines of code?
Ok, I can use emacs, and actually it is what I'm doing, by there should be something better ... I'm looking for an IDE which has the simplicity of Visual Studio or (even better) DevCPP which adds to the source files only 2 more files: one for the project description and the generated Makefile.
Another problem is how to import projects, neither Anjuta nor KDevelop are able to import a project which consists only of source files and a Makefile ... you have always to start from scratch with those stupid wizards (I *hate* wizards) and end with tons of files ...

There's also one from bloodshed's Dev C++ for Linux, last time I checked it was still some beta version tho.

Take a look at SciTE. http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html
It definitely doesn't go overboard, although I'm honestly not sure if it does what you want it to do; I haven't done anything using Makefiles and all that jazz yet. Still, it's worth a look.
