I want to expand my programming horizons to Linux. A good, dependable basic toolset is important, and what is more basic than an IDE? I could find these SO topics:. and. I'm not looking for a lightweight IDE.

If an IDE is worth the money, then I will pay for it, so it need not be free. My question, then: What good, C programming IDE is available for Linux?

The minimums are fairly standard: syntax highlighting, code completion (like or its Eclipse counterpart) and integrated debugging (e.g., basic breakpoints). I have searched for it myself, but there are so many that it is almost impossible to separate the good from the bads by hand, especially for someone like me who has little C coding experience in Linux. I know that, and I really like that IDE for Java, but is it any good for C and is there something better? The second post actually has some good suggestions, but what I am missing is what exactly makes the sugested IDE so good for the user, what are its (dis)advantages? Maybe my question should therefore be: What IDE do you propose (given your experiences), and why? Closed as off-topic by, Dec 23 '15 at 7:21 This question appears to be off-topic.

Initially: confusion When originally writing this answer, I had recently made the switch from Visual Studio (with years of experience) to Linux and the first thing I did was try to find a reasonable IDE. At the time this was impossible: no good IDE existed.

Epiphany: UNIX is an IDE. 1 And then I realised that the IDE in Linux is the command line with its tools:. First you set up your shell. Bash, in my case, but many people prefer.

or.;. and your editor; pick your poison — both are state of the art:. 2 or. Depending on your needs, you will then have to install and configure several plugins to make the editor work nicely (that’s the one annoying part). For example, most programmers on Vim will benefit from the plugin for smart autocompletion. Once that’s done, the shell is your command interface to interact with the various tools — Debuggers (gdb), Profilers (gprof, valgrind), etc.

You set up your project/build environment using, or any of the various alternatives. And you manage your code with a version control system (most people use ). You also use (previously also screen) to multiplex (= think multiple windows/tabs/panels) and persist your terminal session. The point is that, thanks to the shell and a few tool writing conventions, these all integrate with each other. And that way the Linux shell is a truly integrated development environment, completely on par with other modern IDEs.

(This doesn’t mean that individual IDEs don’t have features that the command line may be lacking, but the inverse is also true.) To each their own I cannot overstate how well the above workflow functions once you’ve gotten into the habit. But some people simply prefer graphical editors, and in the years since this answer was originally written, Linux has gained a suite of excellent graphical IDEs for several different programming languages (but not, as far as I’m aware, for C).

Do give them a try even if — like me — you end up not using them. Here’s just a small and biased selection:. For Python development, there’s. For R, there’s. For JavaScript and TypeScript, there’s (which is also a good all-round editor). And finally, many people love the for general code editing. Keep in mind that this list is far from complete.

1 I stole that title from dsm’s comment. 2 I used to refer to Vim here. And while plain Vim is still more than capable, Neovim is a promising restart, and it’s modernised a few old warts. My personal favorite is the CodeLite 2.x IDE. See: The decision to use CodeLite was based on a research regarding the following C IDE for Linux:. Eclipse Galileo with CDT Plugin. NetBeans 6.7 (which is also the base for the SunStudio IDE).

KDevelop4. CodeBlocks 8.02. CodeLite 2.x After all I have decided to use CodeLite 2.x. Below I have listed some Pros and Cons regarding the mentioned C IDEs.

Please note, that this reflects my personal opinion only! EDIT: what a pity that SOF doesn't support tables, so I have to write in paragraphs. A quick answer, just to add a little more knowledge to this topic: You must definitely check out.

Netbeans 6.7 has the following features:. C/C Projects and Templates: Supports syntax highlighting, automatic code completion, automatic indentation. It has a C/C Debugger. Supports Compiler Configurations, Configuration Manager and Makefile Support (with a Wizard). It has a Classes Window, a Usages Window and a File Navigation Window (or panel). A, and also.

Support for. I think it's a perfect (and far better) Visual Studio substitution, and a very good tool to learn C/C. Could you clarify a little bit more how it was for you, what you had to change. Maybe you could point me in the right direction by providing some links to the information you used. My first source were actually the tools' man pages. Just type $ man toolname on the command line ( $ here is part of the prompt, not the input). Depending on the platform, they're quite well-written and can also be found on the internet.

In the case of make, I actually read the complete which took a few hours. Actually, I don't think this is necessary or helpful in most cases but I had a few special requirements in my first assignments under Linux that required a sophisticated makefile. After writing the makefile I gave it to an experienced colleague who did some minor tweaks and corrections. After that, I pretty much knew make. I used GVIM because I had some (but not much) prior experience there, I can't say anything at all about Emacs or alternatives.

I find it really helps to read other peoples'.gvimrc config file. Many people put it on the web. Don't try to master all binutils at once, there are too many functions. But get a general overview so you'll know where to search when needing something in the future. You should, however, know all the important parameters for g and ld (the GCC linker tool that's invoked automatically except when explicitly prevented).

Also I'm curious, do you have code completion and syntax highlighting when you code? Syntax highlighting: yes, and a much better one than Visual Studio. Code completion: yes- ish. First, I have to admit that I didn't use C code completion even in Visual Studio because (compared to VB and C#) it wasn't good enough. I don't use it often now but nevertheless, GVIM has native code completion support for C. Combined with the library and a plug-in like this is almost an IDE.

Actually, what got me started was an by Armin Ronacher. Before reading the text, look at the screenshots at the end of it! Do you have to compile first before getting (syntax) errors?

But this is the same for Visual Studio, isn't it (I've never used Whole Tomato)? Of course, the syntax highlighting will show you non-matching brackets but that's about all. And how do you debug (again think breakpoints etc)? I use gdb which is a command-line tool. There's also a graphical frontend called DDD. Gdb is a modern debugging tool and can do everything you can do in an IDE.

The only thing that really annoys me is reading a stack trace because lines aren't indented or formatted so it's really hard to scan the information when you're using a lot of templates (which I do). But those also clutter the stack trace in IDEs. Like I said, I had the 'pleasure' to set my first steps in the Java programming language using windows notepad and the command line java compiler in high school, and it was,. Wel a nightmare! Certainly when I could compare it with other programming courses I had back then where we had decent IDE's You shouldn't even try to compare a modern, full-feature editor like Emacs or GVIM to Notepad.

Notepad is an embellished TextBox control, and this really makes all the difference. Additionally, working on the command line is a very different experience in Linux and Windows. The Windows cmd.exe is severely crippled. PowerShell is much better. /EDIT: I should mention explicitly that GVIM has tabbed editing (as in tabbed browsing, not tabs-vs-spaces)! It took me ages to find them although they're not hidden at all.

Just type:tabe instead of plain:e when opening a file or creating a new one, and GVIM will create a new tab. Switching between tabs can be done using the cursor or several different shortcuts (depending on the platform). The key gt (type g, then t in command mode) should work everywhere, and jumps to the next tab, or tab no. N if a number was given. Type:help gt to get more help.

Not to repeat an answer, but I think I can add a bit more. Is an excellent IDE. It supports large code-bases well without slowing down or spending all its time indexing. (This is a problem I had with eclipse's cdt).

Slickedit's speed is probably the nicest thing about it, actually. The code completion works well and there are a large amount of options for things like automatic formatting, beautification and refactoring. It does have integrated debugging. It has plug-in support and fairly active community creating them. In theory, you should be able to integrate well with people doing the traditional makefile stuff, as it allows you to create a project directly from one, but that didn't work as smoothly as I would have liked when I tried it.

In addition to Linux, there are Mac and Windows versions of it, should you need them. As an old-time UNIX guy, I always use Emacs. But that has a pretty steep and long learning curve, so I'm not sure I can recommend it to newcomers.

There really isn't a 'good' IDE for Linux. Eclipse is not very good for C/C (CDT is improving, but is not very useful yet). The others are missing all the features you are going to be looking for. It really is important to learn how all the individual tools (gcc, make, gdb, etc.) work.

After you do so, you may find the Visual Studio way of doing things to be very limiting. Just a quick follow up for this question. It's been a month since I started using Vim as my main 'GUI' tool for programming C in Linux. At first the learning curve was indeed a bit steep but after a while and with the right options turned on and I really got the hang of it! I love the way how you can shape Vim to suite your needs; just add/change and Vim is turned into a highly productive 'IDE'. The toolchain to build and compile a C program on Linux is also really intuitive.

Make and g are the tools you'll use. The is however not really that good, but maybe that's because I haven't had the time to master it properly. So to anyone who is, or was looking for a good C IDE in Linux, just like I was, your best bet lays with the standard available tools in Linux itself (Vim, g, ddd) and you should really at least try to use them, before looking for sonething else. Last but not least, I really want to thank for his answer here, It really helped me find my way in the Linux development environment, thank you! I'm also not closing this question, so people can still react or maybe even add new suggestions or additions to the already really nice answers.

Junior Member Hey all, I'm trying to compile a basic FLTK code however I'm getting a directory error. Here is the error: 15:53:09.
