Which C++ development environment to use?

Hello

I am a C++ programmer who has used the Microsoft Visual C++ environment in the past which has a great debugger. Is there something similar/equivalent on linux/OpenSUSE.

I have just installed OpenSUSE 11.1 and using Gnome interface (not sure why - first one in list).

Can anyone please recommend.

There are many IDE’s available on linux for C++. It depends on many factors
what might be considered as a good one or the best one (and to a certain
degree it is a matter of taste).
I use eclipse for java development for six years now in my job and it is
incredible powerfull for that whereas for C++ I do not really like it (which
is a matter of my taste and not that it is bad).

Code::Blocks is my recommodation.

Other available, worth to look at: anjuta (gnome), kdevelop (kde)

Or: emacs :wink:
(I know this is no IDE, but I could not withstand)

Hi,

as already recommended I would also prefer kdevelop(4) or Qt-Creator for C++.

Have a lot of fun

Try KDE. A recent one. That probably will feel much more comfy. That said:

  • kdevelop (latest, a bit rough, has potential, geared towards KDE)
  • QtCreator (Qt focus, slick, works good)
  • eclipse
  • netbeans

There probably are a lot others.
