I'm looking for a good IDE for C/C++, that runs well in slackware.
I used CodeBlocks, but I can't compile in the current, and its getting a little old.
I see a lot of threads talking about anjunta and kdedeveloper, but I don't like these.
Because Slackware seem like is a KDE taliban, I suggest KDevelop.
However, even KDE(4) is the main Slackware desktop environment, they awful insult the present and future KDE/Qt developers, stripping down the entire Qt4 documentation, thinking to strip 50MB OF DOCUMENTATION, from a blue whale with size likely of 4GB.
What a shame for a Linux distro that use KDE as main D.E.!

We will not ship this documentation either because it is big, and available online.
There is a reason why we use a particular version of Qt: we use whatever the KDE team recommends to be used in combination with a specific version of KDE. For Slackware 13.0, we use KDE 4.2.4 for which the recommented version of Qt is 4.5.x.
For KDE 4.4 the recommended version of Qt will be 4.6.1

If only Slackware shipped with XFCE, FVWM, blackbox, fluxbox, mwm, twm, or windowmaker! Imagine a world where you could only select anything other than KDE from the kdm login screen!
this is a(n other) sufficient explanation why it not a good idea to follow the kde devs to much and shows again how kde pulls down slackware's quality.
(sorry for that, I am still a kde user but from time to time I have to say some bad words about kde:-)
Well, you did specifically ask for a C/C++ IDE. Can we have a better idea of what you're looking for? And, for that matter, why you don't like Ajunta and KDevelop?
Since your first post, you've further specified that you want an IDE that supports project files and multiple languages. In that case, I recommend Netbeans.
First, because the KDE-Qt (used by Slackware) contains the documentation in a source form. It's enough to add this sequence (in the qt.SlackBuild) for building the documentation and installing it:
Code:
# Build and install the shameful documentation
make docs
./config.status
make install_htmldocs install_qchdocs install_docimages INSTALL_ROOT=$PKG || exit 1
Second, the on-line availability argument fail, because not all of us have a broadband connection. How about to use a low band 3G internet connection or dial-up? We talk about poor users of i486 systems but we ignore the poor internet connections?
We have only a single remaining objective: to reduce the size of Slackware blue whale with 50MB, stripping the rich Qt documentation. This is shameful!
IF the Qt documentation size is a really big problem, how about moving it in another (optional) package, i.e. named qt-docs?
