Linux free C++ compiler

You already have a great C++ compiler installed; it's called g++. What you probably mean is an IDE. For that, I would suggest Code::Blocks.

Good Luck

Yes, you're right, I mean IDE. Sorry because of my mistake

Thanks a lot for the answer

You can also use Anjuta, or KDevelop. I've seen some other great IDEs too, but I can't remember the name at this point.

OK!! Thanks a lot. I'll search about them

I've tried a bunch of different IDEs in linux but I end up going back to the command line and Kate.

compiler: gcc/g++
or better: icc/icpc ( dont find the link to free version of the intelcompiler 9.0 at the moment ... sorry :/, but there sure is one .. because i have it installed here )

i only use kate ( the syntaxhilite is great, especially the doxygen-hilite ) as ide ... and commandline for compilation (makefiles and stuff) ... tried out some others, but finale realized that pressing f12(for yakuake) and typing make is faster than klicking around :D ...

AMD has been screaming bloody murder that some revisions of icc make AMD performance slower. I wouldn't use it for a commercial release, sorry.

High-5, buddy!

Command line and advance text editor? I think that's too much for me. I'm a Windows man, so I suposse that I'm really familiar with GUI and less with command lines.
I've tried all the IDEs you have recommend, and then I'll try the command line and kate.

Thanks.

Personally I prefer using vim/gvim (since you said yourself that you are a "Windows man" so I suppose gvim would suit you the best) as my 'IDE'. It is great if you're going to use it anyway for typing text etc. It supports everything I need ( you can even run make inside of it and it automatically goes to where your compilation errors occurred ) and is highly customizable (colours, key-shortcuts, indenting, commands). It is available for free at www.vim.org.

Another option is the Eclipse C++ suite. It works the same on Windows as on Linux so if you've tried it before there won't be much difference, and even if you haven't there shouldn't be any problems. It is the best "real IDE" (as opposed to vim and other advanced text editors) that I've used. I would use it myself if it weren't for the fact that it seems to have some issues with my Window manager or something ( if anyone wants to know I use Blackbox, and when I'm editing a file in Eclipse and switching to another window through bbkeys's "Window switching utility" something happens which makes it impossible to continue editing the file. I can still access Eclipse's menus and all. Just not edit the file ).

Anjuta is good too.
