im looking for a ide for gcc that is similar
to microsloth visual studio c++. in the upper left
corner it should have
File
New
Open
Save As
Print
and so on. any recommendations? gbuilder ?
im currently using linux (mandrake or rh or deb)
but if it'll gimme an easier compiler and debugger,
i also have solaris8. :)
 
Have you played with XEmacs (with syntax highlighting on)? Also, there was just a question similar to this, I believe the poster found a good IDE. I personally doun't use an IDE... I use plan old pico.
 
As jstreich said, you can use XEmacs. In fact, you can run everything (debugger, make, compile) from XEmacs on Solaris. Whether you can use it with gcc is another question. I've only ever used it with the Sun development system.

If you are using Windows, the bloodshed IDE isn't too bad.
 
For Linux, if you're using KDE, there is KDevelop, which I'm told is a nice IDE. I've never used it (I looked at it once, but didn't use it). It looks quite a bit like VC++ for Windows, and I'm told that they are working on adding features along the lines of code completion and such that make VC++ so convenient.
 
I have read in one of the posts here that there is a nice IDE for C++. It is free. I actually have not tested it yet but judging from the screenshots, it looks promising.

You can look it up here:

Anjuta[DevStudio]

Hope this helps! [thumbsup]

Hi,

You might want to consider using C-Forge it really rocks. Granted its not free but worth every cent.

heres my criterion for a good ide:
1. all the microsloth-like buttons are there
File
Save, save as, print, new, open
2. useful error messages
>>i think borland cbuilder is way out from of
microsloth visual studio in this. the error
messages is msvc++ are cryptic and confusing, for ex.,
line 16 : syntax error ")"
line 16: missing ")"
wtf!? does msvc++ think line 16 needs another
")" or that the existing ")" should be there at all?!
borland, on the other hand, give USEFUL error messages.
