Ok, I''m moving to Linux (finally) and am looking for a good c++ development environment for linux. I haven''t looked all that hard yet, but I figured it''d be easier to ask ya''ll. Actually, any good Java, Delphi, and Basic IDEs would be helpful as well. Are there any "Visual" IDEs out there for Linux?? (Visual as in Visual C++, Visual Basic, etc) I know it''s a Microsoft thing, but that doesn''t necessarily mean it doesn''t exist for Linux, MS has conceded that Linux isn''t going away and it''s really not a bad OS. (Heck, they''re getting more and more UNIX-like with Windows anyway). Anyway, thanks in advance.

KDevelop, Ecllipse, Netbeans. There are a few others, it shouldn''t be all that hard to find.

MS has never, and very likely never will, released any software for Linux. I also honestly think everyone in love with the Visual line just hasn''t worked with a really good IDE yet

There''s no shortage of development environments for Linux, it''s pretty much a geek''s dream. But of course you should look yourself, why are we doing your work for you?

Look into these:

--KDevelop: C and C++, integrates well with Qt based apps.
--Eclipse: primarily Java, but C, C++, Python, whatever as well, Eclipse of course kicks all kinds of ass (unfortunately a tad better under Windows).
--Kylix: Commercial Borland IDE, Linux''s equivalent to Delphi, pretty much know nothing about it.
--Emacs: whatever the hell you want it to be, and more...


And of course you can''t go wrong with the standard editor/compiler/builder combo, very prevelant and easy to accomplish in Linux. Kate/javac/ant got me through many java programs...

thanks guys, my goal wasn''t for someone to do the work for me, I just didn''t know where to start looking.

What do you think of KDE Studio Gold by The Kompany?

All you need...

man vi
man make

has anyone ever tried quanta?

i use it currently for my php dev but it seems to support a _very_ wide range of languages (not sure about the integrated compiler stuff but hey i use php currently )

btw it works really good except for some issues with coloring and function parameter listing

Borland have come out with a nice new IDE that is free for personal use, c++builderx.

Its also a multi-platform solution, same IDE for Solaris and Windows.

I started using it for HTML (which is what its default setup is designed for) and I disliked it so much that I went back to vi (or, more precisely, vim).
