Need a recommendation for an IDE
 

Hi,

I am a C/C++ programmer who is now using Gentoo Linux exclusively (well for the last week at least :D).

I am very familiar with Microsoft Visual C++, since I use it at home and college.

Is there a similar IDE for linux? What are you recommendations for someone who is just switching over to linux exclusively?

Thanks!

Eclipse ^_^

I'll recommend you to look a very similar thread in this forum:

;)

Yes, I saw that one, but I am looking for something with similar features like MSVC++ has (being able to jump to variable/function definitions/declarations, showing class heirarchies, etc.).

Eclipse with Plugins. The plugin manager is actually VERY easy to use, follow one tutorial on installing one plugin, and you've basically mastered it.

http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/

Also check out UML plugins if your interested, there is more than a couple.

Hi,
I recommend Qt to you. Qt is developed by a Norwegian firm Trolltech. The popular desktop KDE is developed in Qt. Qt is a multiplatform development tool. If you have experience is VC++ then you can uses the Qt Libraries with VC++. Qt is coming with RedHat and Suse as a standard package. Qt designer is a very effective tool for GUI development.
