You don't need an IDE. IF you really want it you may try Eclipse (  ).
As about the compiler installation (if not already there), you should use the installer of your Linux distribution, Ubuntu command, for instance, is
apt-get install g++

Looks like you don't like Eclipse  . I'm using it for Java development and I find it an awesome IDE. I never used it for C++ development but I know that it is more limited than for java, but I think it is still a great IDE.

Well, if you use it for Java development then you may actually like it, you know: slow is the language, slow is the IDE...

I have used Eclipse on Linux and Solaris in the past, for developing Java and C++ and found it to be perfectly adequate for the task. Whatever criticisms you may have about Eclipse's speed it could always beat me.

Visual studio is not very fast neither you know . Yeah, it's right, sometimes Eclipse is a bit slow but on the other hand, writing code with it goes much faster (the refactoring tool for instance is extremely powerful).

In my (actually short) experience Eclipse was indeed powerful, but deadly slow.

Faster at what? Most of the time it is just a simple editor being driven by a human.

Never had this problem; obviously my brain is too slow for the average IDE.

On my system Visual Studio startup is slow. However, Eclipse startup never completes...
My brain is sluggish, but the monkey rants

I had to work with a team of Java "developers" a while ago. They complained that one of our DLLs were not working right with Java and our company sent me to see what was wrong. I went.
They fired up the IDE. And then it was booting. Was booting. Booting. Still. Seriously. After a long time, it was still booting.
I looked at them and asked "Do you spend every day of your life like this?". I was all serious in my query, but they took it "sportively" and laughed. I was speechless.

Better to install build-essentials. It will install GCC and other utilities like make.

Linux distributions come with all the necessary tools for development. You will use the GCC compiler, and you have several IDE's to choose: KDevelop, Eclipse for C++, QtCreator, VI/Emacs... If you want to do GUI development you should choose between GTK or Qt/KDE libraries. I would target Qt, since it is crossplatform and a really nice object oriented GUI library.

I'd like to recommend Qt Creator[^], it's an awesome IDE + gui library. The best part of it is that it's available under Windows and under Linux, so if you create a project under the Windows version of QtCreator and then just copy it on a Windows machine, you can open it and compile it there and create exactly the same app that would work under Linux.
There is sufficient light for those who desire to see, and there is sufficient darkness for those of a contrary disposition.

AFAIK, most Linux distros come with deveoloper tools. You might want to take a look at the Code Blocks IDE[^], which is cross-platform.

Hi,
I have asked the same question yesterday but could not get the desired result. My question is
"what is the best way to migrate C++ application from vs6 to vs8".
1. If vs8 migrate automatically then what changes have been done?
2. Will I have to change API?
3. Is there other method of migration?
Waiting for reply.....

Will anybody give answer of this question?

Where do you think you are ? This is a message board, not a chat here. So be patient!
Now for your question, there's no automatic or magic way to migrate from VC6 to a more recent version. What you have to do is open your VC6 workspace with VS2005, then a conversion wizard will appear asking you if you want to convert the project. This only converts the project files, not the source files. Once the conversion is done, you'll need to compile and check if everything is ok. If you have errors, well you need to fix them and recompile. And if other errors appear, you have to repeat the operation .
One of the most frequent source of error coming from that kind of migration, is the support for UNICODE. By default in vc6 it is disabled but for more recent IDE, it is enabled. It means that if you used char instead of TCHAR in your code, you'll end up with a lot of errors. I suggest you read this article[^] if you want more information (you could also disable UNICODE support in your project options).
Good luck.

If your project is SDI or MDI then you gave a class drived from CWinApp.
look at the header file there is an extern object. declare your object just like that.

Just Declare in stdAfx.h without extern.
CString tmp; is enough.

If you need a variable visible to all classes of your project, an option maybe a static member variable of your CWinApp-derived class.

Doesn't need to be static. Presumably, there's only one instance of the app and it's there for the duration. But I like the placement.
