Suggest a decent C compiler please(Linux)!

[baccilus]

I had installed Anjuta in my last mint(3.0). Now after updating to Mint 4.0, I got a newer version of Anjuta which I just didn't understand. Couldn't get the program to run or compile or anything.
Just installed kdevelop but have trouble understanding the interface. How do I compile and run in it? Either tell this or suggest another compiler for my linux box.
I don't want to compile through terminal.

Eclipse. The best

Ya installed that one through synaptic. Stupid thing didn't even place a menu entry or a Desktop icon. I should have been practicing some programs but instead I was looking for where it went. I couldn't even find it.

In Kdevelop, create a new project, then run autoconf and friends, then configure then make.
You can also check the tutorials by piyush verma and roshan, out here

You badly need to learn some command line stuff. Or atleast on how to use Alt+F2 run method. Cause you could have simply typed eclipse and it would have started. MUCH faster than pointing and clicking.

I already know that. Just din occur to me. Linux's user friendliness has spoiled me. But thanks. Thanks for the tutorials too.

BTW, you want compiler or IDE?

Re: Suggest a desent C compiler please(Linux)!

^^good qn.

the compiler is GCC in all cases.
its an industry grade compiler
written personally by richard m stallman
rival to intel c, ibm c, microsoft c, so its top notch.

what are the IDE available for GCC.
Personally i do not need them but many of my friends ask me.
so what to recommend to them?

btw, in programming KATE is better than gedit

In Kdevelop, create a new project, then run autoconf and friends, then configure then make.

Thanks a Ton!
Really usefull

Which platform? Also, depends on how you define IDE.
There's so many of them. Eclipse, Anjuta, KDevelop, Kate, vi, emacs, geany, wxDev-C, Relo, etc.

In respect to GCC

In respect to GCC

50% of the IDEs in this world use GCC.
99% of the IDEs for Linux use GCC.

All of which I listed and more can use gcc.

Re: Suggest a desent C compiler please(Linux)!

Actually I just need a compiler.....

Re: Suggest a desent C compiler please(Linux)!

All I have to say is "gcc" . You can even use gedit with certain plugins to make iot more coder friendly. . If you are on WIndows Bloodshed Dev-C.

Re: Suggest a desent C compiler please(Linux)!

I am on linux. Which pluggins do you suggest for gcc? By gcc you mean using the terminal and gedit to compile, right. But pressing F9 on anjuta was a lot easier. Still just tell me how to do it through what you suggest. just in case I don't find an alternative.

 

[ChaiTan3]

Use Geany. It has a compile and execute button on the toolbar

Actually you should learn a bit about compilation and make system before you go too far with IDE's. First thing is to learn the language but you should also understand compilation process. Also, make is a very good system for handling larger projects.

 

[baccilus]

I absolutely loved geany. It's pretty simple to use and is light weight. So I think I will stick with it. Thanks everyone for your inputs. I will try and learn more of both programming and linux so that I don't have to ask such basic questions again. Thanks again

Why use of IDE is discouraged?
