Is there an IDE for C programming.
I want an editor, compiler, and maybe someth else which is useful.
I want the editor that has syntax highlighting and autocomplete and stuff.
I want this program in Win32 and Linux. So that i can get use to it and build stuff on both platform.
I really need the win32 one now, becuase of a project that i need to do for Electronics.
Any help will be appreciated.

Well, I'm sure there is one.
Actually, I'm sure it's called vim.
It does everything you've said you wanted, except for the autocomplete.
It has a direct hook into Makefiles, which you're going to have to write anyway eventually. So just create the Makefile you need, and run :make from inside gvim.
Or, have gvim open, and do your compiling in a terminal you have open at the same time. That is, after all, why you're using a multitasking operating system... ;)
Of course, you'll need to find gcc for Windows for that to work well. Although I do remember gvim for windows having hooks so it would be used in Visual Studio, though it sounds like you don't have VS.

For Linux the best (well, my personal favorite) is Anjuta. It'll also do C++, in addition to C. Glimmer is also supposed to be okay. If you're doing C++ or Delphi, there is also Kylix. I'm not sure if Kylix supports C.

I've been using Anjuta over the last week or so too and like it alot apart from I keep typing h,j,k and l all over my code :p
OK anjuta looks very promising, i'll definitely use that in Linux, if only there was a Windows version. I found DevCPP, which i used a year ago, and was looking for it for a week now, forgot tyhe name :D.
If i get used to devcpp, is there a Linux aquivalent?

Here's the link to Devcpp: http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html Although it's based on any gcc-based compiler, I think it works only on Windows. Why not give KDevelop and try and see if you like it?
THNX ViMan, i can't believe you didn't recommend Vim :D

I was thinking of doing that. But my name's enough. Yeah. Dump all the IDEs. What do you need other than Vim?
PS. When I installed Gentoo, Vim was probably the first package I installed. Makes life easier once you get the hang of things...:D
is it hard to remember all those commands and stuff, i mean whats the point when you can acomplish the same thing without learning the commands?

No pain, no gain. Generally, 90% of people use only 10% of the features of any program. I'm on my PC over 5 hours a day. An editor is essential for my day to day functioning. So I invest the time and reap the benefits...
Hey i was wondering, can i use Dev-C++ using wine on Linux, will the stuff compile properly, or is their a better alternative?
i'm getting really fond of Dev-C++.

Why not try it out (altough I doubt it will work)? Also, have you checked out Kdevelop?
I did checkout kdevelop, its alright, but the thing is its not for a beginner like me. I mean i don't know a makefile is yet or a header file. So i just don't understand. I'll move into that when i get some exerience first. THNX for the help.

*cough* emacs *cough*
Seriously, use whatever you're most comfortable with.
Yeah tried out Xemacs, its alright, much more promising then VIM, less commands to remember :D
If i'm bothered to learn, i might learn one of them too, vim or emacs.

Hey. I got a great idea. Why not restart the editor wars? LOL...
Hey i don't mind, you do learn a lot from it, right?
i mean look at the screenshot thread, i'm sure a lot of people learnt stuff, for example i never heard of Openbox, after hearing about it in the thread, i now use it :D
an IDE war will be even more useful, especially to me, becuase we don't get one of those evryda, now do we? :D

Which is why I said use whatever is most comfortable...
No, you don't learn anything from editor wars.
The thing is the only way i can find an editor which i'm comfortable with is by trying out different editors, right?
on those wars, some even give unusual editors, for example anjutar, which is an EDI but thats not the point, it is not an EDI every one would say. Its different, i mean i didn't know it existed before creating this thread, correct?

EDI? Electronic Data Interchange?
What? I'm all confused now! :(
;)
I'm so stupid i am, i keep on doing this over and over, its IDE not edi. :o

That's fine, I'm sure everyone knew what you meant.
I just had another meaning for EDI, so I thought I'd share. Which was why there's a ;) there.
No big deal. :)

djgpp is a port of gcc to windows.
Yeah i tried that, there were couple things wrong with it:
firstly, it was in dos, yes DOS, i mean it would have been alright if it was in Bash, SH etc...
but its in dos, so autocomplete, no history....
secondly, its in dos, did i say that already? :D
what i mean is that it doesn't have no GUI, that i want.
