A good IDE that runs on Linux?

[Yoni]

My IDE of choice for Windows is Visual C++.
On Linux, I use Kate and ddd.

Seriously, what kind of crap is that?
Is there something that comes even close on Linux?

And don't give me vim or emacs.

[K]

Well, if you don't want to use emacs or vim, you could try something like kdevelop, although I haven't used it in quite some time.

If you use WINE will Visual C++ (Microsoft I'm guessing?) work properly on your computer?

Let's assume not.

[Yegg]

So if you tried using WINE I assume Microsoft Visual C++ (or someother IDE for Visual C++) will function properly on a Linux environment?

It might and it also might suffer some "consquences" due to a bad compatability layer or something stupid like that.

I'd go with kDevelop. Pretty cool program. But then again, I'm not a Linux person.

I've dabbled in linux programming, and I use KDevelop for it. But I've only dabbled.

You're welcome to stick with something sucky like Kate if you want, but Vim/[url] is clearly superior.  For automating the compile, use make.

[Newby]

Kp is right. Vim + make will get you through the day.

You can even call make from inside of vim! How much more do you need? :p

[Yoni]

How much more do you need? :p

I'll take "GUIfied debug tracing", please.

Sounds like you want gdb + Insight.

Some folks will never want to use a GUI to their debugger, some will hate to use any debugger without a GUI. Insight pleases everyone, even your grandmother who likes to hack a little when no one is looking. Insight brings world peace. Insight makes your food taste better.

How does this compare to ddd, which Yoni is already using? I use to use ddd but I prefer plain-ole gdb now.

Yeah uhh...KDevelop kthx (inside joke with Yoni)

http://www.kdevelop.org/

Its comparable to Visual Studio
It not only supports multiple languages, it also has a nice GUI builder application, memory leak testing tools, project templates, and of course a built-in-debugger and lots and lots more ...  and all at the cost of 13MB of storage

Edit: And it also features a web application builder tool too...you can for example, use it to write php driven sites.

Have a screen shot:

C/C++ Mode


Scripting Mode


All Language Mode

memory leak testing tools

I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend Valgrind to those who haven't used it.  Its memory checking facilities can make debugging much easier (if you're willing to wait as it runs!).
