Hi,
I'm looking for a linux based C++ compiler similar to the MS Visual C++.
KDevelop seems to be the answer.
Can anyone with experience with KDevelop gives some comment?
How does it work, compared to MS Visual C++.

Thanks

Kdevelop is an IDE for C++ development.
Important::It is not the compiler
I think it is a good IDE but for the fact i don't use Kdevelop that much
Instead I use vim to write code
If you are serious into developing GTK/Gnome application I suggest you use glade
If you want to develop kde/qt application you can try designer
(which at first looks like Visual C++)
If you are simply writing any code and not going for the interface i suggest you use emacs/vim
vim supports syntax highlighting for all the programming language i use
ie python,c,c++,java,cs,perl, and bash scripts
That means you can even start using vim to develop a .net application (I hope that you have mono)

I use kdevelop3 (gideon) and Borland kylix3 for C/C++ in linux/windows environment.

But I prefer kdevelop3 + qt3 ;-)

Kdevelop is an IDE (just like Visual C++), you need GCC (C/C++) compiler to use it ;-)

kdevelop just a ide but you need gcc to compile progs SciTE can be alternative it has syntax higlighting for all languages

There is a good IDE called Anjuta
Ever tried that?

Tks guys. I have tried out Kdevelop and I intend to use Qt.
Pardon me for my ignorance, how do I enable Kdevelop to use Qt?

Try this tutorial ;-)

Have a lot more fun :-)

This tool looks same with MS VC++, you can ave a look. Magic C++, a visual remote Unix/Linux C/C++ IDE

There's also a free trial download. It looks just like Visual C++ and supprots for editing, compiling, debugging etc.
