hello i'm sorry if this has been asked before(i've looked through but couldn't see it) can anyone recomend an ide for mandriva? at the moment i'm using g++ and konsole which is ok, i'd just like to see how the other half live
i have installed KDevelop using rpm and for some reason i cannot use the build function? when i press build it is shaded light grey and won't be pressed??? i open the konsole in kdevelop and used g++ and my pc crashed?? the code works fine normally???
i have tried using devc++ under wine and this is not ideal(as i may as well use it in windows)
any thoughts??
thanks
paul
I also second Eclipse. I never used Eclipse for C++ though (but did with Python, besides Java). Some say that it is less favorable to C++ than Java, but it is up to you to judge . Either way, it is an awesome IDE.
I also would like to recommend Anjuta. I used it on the past and liked it a lot.

You have to create a project (Project | New Project)
Then you'll be able to Build.

You will need to add CDT to Eclipse in order to build C++ projects. Take a look in here:
Basically, all you will have to do is to start Eclipse, then:
Help >> Software Updates >> Find and Install >> Search for new features to install
In this window, click on "New Remote Site" button. Write on the "name" field anything you want. Something like "CDT remote site" will do. In the address field, write:
thanks for all of your posts i tried as you suggested and tried to include CDT but all i got was a 404 from the address so i downloaded it here here unzipped it and ./eclipse was my uncle
thanks again

Awesome. Congratulations 1slipperyfish. I hope you enjoy Eclipse. As I said, I've no idea how well it works with C++, but I can't picture myself programming in Java without it (Even though Netbeans is far from bad and also has support for C++).
It is always better if you post the actual error, I would assume it tells you the problem and in which two files it has been defined. Did you create a project which auto magically inserted a main cpp file for you?
I've used only KDevelop, and it's the best thing. I've tryed Vim to write the code but I guess I'm not l33t enough to write code in it.
Before that there was MSVC
hello, i've sorted it because i had foolishly put my pointers programs in the same project eclipse thought i was declaring multiple instances of main(), there were also some typos that i fixed
i posted this yesterday morning and for some reason it hasn't registered
dmail: yes wigan in nw england where the sun always shines
Tux-Slack: you should give vim another try i can't live without it, remember the command line is your friend the only reason i wanted an ide is that with vim your limited to 28 line on the screen so you have to keep moving the cursor up and down
thanks for all your help
