For C language programmers that also know Linux...?

Does Linux (for instance Fedora Core 5) provide a good IDE for C language programing? One that you personally used and liked. One that you can say it is good.





I already have Fedora Core 5 installed on my PC, but I don't know where to look for a C language IDE in this version of Linux.





I am also a quite bad user of Fedora Core 5 (I mean I don't know how to set up an ethernet card, or an internet connection... the installation does it automatically... or I don't know how to mount my HDD without looking at something I wrote in the past about this... or other stupid things that Linux makes you to learn...)





I need DEBUGGING immediately... I have an old Borland C 3.1, and in WinXP it says it can't start the debugging section of the IDE on 16 bits... It can only edit and compile, but no debugging, unfortunately...


What to do?

Anjuta is the best IDE available.


It works pretty well.





For debugging you can use gdb also(if you don't mind working on the console)
Reply:Linux doesn't support IDE version of C, it has in-built GCC compiler. (Though I've RedHat platform, not Fedora). You can partition your HD to accomodate both Windows and Linux both operating systems in your computer. Then install Turbo C++ IDE in Windows part .

There's a few IDEs that run on Linux. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_int... gets you a list of IDEs. KDevelop and Anjuta, and I think Code::Blocks are usable on Linux. It's also not uncommon to see people prefer to use a plain text editor and use commandline/makefiles for compiling and linking.





The compiler on Linux is gcc and g++ (for C and C++). The debugger that goes with gcc is gdb.
