IDE Suggestions

[jayctech]

I'm looking for IDEs to install for C++ on Ubuntu. All suggestions appreciated. Also - does GCC include all common distributions of C++? If not, which ones is it missing?

Code::Blocks, Netbeans, Visual Studio (Windows), Xcode (OS X), but the best thing you can do is get a good text editor, like Sublime Text.

What do you mean by common distributions?GCC includes all C++ standards and you can choose the one you like with the flag --Std=c(89/99/11)

I made a thread a while ago querying about the different distributions of C++. There's the "official" C++ standard with its latest iteration from 2011 I think (the one I'm most interested in having) as well as things like MS having their own variation.

Eclipse.

This.

 

Plugins for almost every language imaginable (aside from proprietary ones).

Honestly, use a text editor unless you are using heavy frameworks like android or .net because text editors are much better because of how light and efficient they are. If you must have an IDE, check out geany.

use code::blocks  is good IDE 

 

or you can install windows as virtual system and install VS

VIM

I'm using Ubuntu as a VM because I prefer it for coding.

Main reason I want an IDE is so I can just press a hotkey and compile the code in a second rather than go to the directory in the terminal whenever I startup and then change to the terminal and run the command there to compile. It's a small thing and tbh thanks to Ubuntu's multi desktops that work with the keyboard to switch between it's a tiny thing but more efficient is still more efficient.

Many editors can build inside of them.

Well the one I use is sublime text. Works great and has a nice UI.

You can try Qt Creator. It's amazing when it comes to coding for Qt(obviously), it might be good for plain c++, haven't tried it like that, otherwise Code::Blocks is the way to go.

Hi, like people said above, just use a text editor. Emacs has very good support for building using GCC (and make), and you get all kinds of ide-features by using plugins (ecb, yasnippet, autocomplete just to name a few).

Or, if you want use an ide, I'd go for QtCreator.

Oh, and about c++ distributions: if you mean the way the language is implemented, then that is the GNU way (glibc for C). And yes, it does support the standard c++, just use a flag if you want to force (-stdc++11)
