Programming with C++ on Linux

Hello, I'm wondering what tools people use to program with C++ on Linux. Do you have a preferable IDE or do you use text editors like VIM with various plugins installed? I tried using CodeBlocks IDE, but it was very buggy and not possible to work with...

using g++ is very simple on debian/ubuntu linux: apt-get update apt-get install g++ after that you can comple your c++ script. g++ %your c++ script name& -o %what will the output name of your script% example: g++ myscript.cpp -o myscript then run it chmod 777 myscript ./myscript you can use python script to make it really simple try mine usage: python run.py %your c++ script% dont forget to chmod 777 run.py and you can make it more simple as running python script: ln -s run.py run cp run /usr/bin/run chmod 777 /usr/bin/run and try it: run %your c++ script name% and it will generate output as the same name as your c++ script name but without extension name. finally run complied script ./myscript or you can try visual studio. but its not work for me.

it's sufficient to use the system defaults compiler, GNU-make and GDB.
