kdvelelope vs. anjuta

Hello,
I'm finally going to start C coding again, but I'm not sure which developement suite to use,
Out of the two environments in the subject line of this post, which is:
1. The most stable
2. Will let me compile ANSI standard Code
3. Is crass platform (Will let me make windows apps,
I've heard that QT is more oriented to cross platform deveopemet, while GTK+ is strictly geared twoards Linux app developement)
4. The most robust environment for C coding (has the best debugging tools)

5. Which is geared more towards easy multimedia integration w/the apps, (EG gimp, sound dev. Games; peripheral concern)

Thank o for your help,
--Joshua

ANSI standard code is a function of your compiler (gcc), not your development environment. Pretty much any gcc will compile ANSI standard C (C89), and versions after about 3.2 or so will compile the new ISO standard C, C99.

And there is a version of Gtk for Windows. Gimp for Windows uses it, in fact.

As for the other questions, I haven't used any kind of IDE other than (g)vim, make, and gcc directly (well, except for when I was using Qt Designer to make that one Qt program, but I still did most of my editing in (g)vim, and we used qmake + make + g++), so I don't know.

For C, than use GTK+ because it's a C library, while QT and KDevelop is non standard C++. The GTK+ website is comprehensive and the library is well documented. Use a simple editor like emacs or vim. I heard that wxWindows is good for cross platform simple GUI development but it is C++. Probably the main choice is GTK+ or GTK+ because all of the other libraries are C++ and not C.
