Dear all.

I'm a lecturer, trying to teach C++ programming with Qt library
on Linux for my students.
However, it is really hard to teach them without the IDE.

I've trying KDevelop (version 3.0), but its too heavy
since my lab only runs Pentium III, 128 MB RAM computers.
Moreover, it can not make Qt-only apps.

Could somebody tell me a simple C++ IDE that:
- easy to use
- light
- can handle autoconf
- can be used to create Qt apps
- free of course :)

Thanks in advance.

I don't think it exist one..... You may want to tweak Vim since it has a lot of macro and plugin.... Combined with Qt designer..... I think it will fulfill you needs..........

Sorry..... I just can give you this......

But it is great that you teach QT in your labs because in my university some people have to learn VB.

Give Anjuta a whirl. It's far, far lighter than KDevelop, with plenty of the same essential features, and building is easier too.

I knew about anjuta, but it is a gtk/gnome IDE isn't it ?
Can Anjuta handle qt ?

Although it's a gtk IDE, it's perfectly capable of handling other libs, it should do the trick.

Kdevelop 3.0 can make Qt only apps, for a template, go to project->C++->qmake->application

I want to try Anjuta, but I can't figure out how to configure the keyboard shortcuts for items which do not happen to be on pull-down menus. I installed a whole lot of gnome dependencies in order to run it, but its keyboard shortcuts are totally non-obvious, which keeps me away from it.

I've been on a constant quest for good open-source C++ developer tool for linux.
I haven't found a free one that has good keyboard navigation, help browsing, and class browsing. Kdevelop is <b>almost there</b>, but its underlying editor, Kate, is missing some important keyboard shortcuts. Adn its help browser is broken. I'd love to delve into the sourcecode but I need an IDE to do it!!!

I still use Jedit for C++, which is not a C++ IDE ,but it has good C++ editing features and a powerful macro language, easy to configure shortcuts, and some basic code browsing features. It's a snap to integrate it with QT's assistant so you can get context-sensitive help.

Has anyone tried Scintilla? or QScintilla? I just found out about them yesterday.

It's a reusable editor widget. Does Kdevelop use it?

Have a look at Magic C++ ( http://www.magicunix.com ), a visual remote Unix and Linux C/C++ IDE. It looks just like Visual C++ and supprots for editing, compiling, debugging etc.

yeah Magic C++ is nice but I think for newbies it's a bit of an overkill. they can't possibly use cvs support or the client/server architecture or the project management functions. Magic C++ is more like a group development tool.
The other thing about Magic C++ is that for it to work across platforms, i.e. client in windows and debugs and compiles in *nix, you gotta install the server component. Sure once it's installed it works really wonderful, but you have to go through the pain to convince your system admin it's safe and doesn't impact stability.....

I've got Magic C++ V2.5 yesterday. It supports CVS and visual HTML format man page online help now. Most important the server component source code is open to offer support for various UNIX/Linux platform requests, I've compiled it successfully under HP-UX and IBM AIX and works well, :p

Help with Magic C++ under AIX
 

Hi,

I tried to install Magic C++ on AIX, but the connection doesn't work.

The FTP and Telnet are working fine, it is the other connection that is not working.

I have a timeout error.

What are the steps you used to install it?

Thanks
