I'm looking for something like DevC++. Syntax highlighting, external compiler integration (GCC preferably), etc. Eclipse and KDevelop are nice for big projects but since I'm learning right now, I want to be able to create single .cpp source files and compile them without creating a huge project. Thanks ahead of time.
I suppose emacs can do all that. But for a good answer you'll have to wait for parksie...
emacs. It has everything you want.

Emacs does the lot. It can run the entire compilation and debugging process from within itself. Very flexible, and faster once you know how to use it.
As a good general purpose editor, I would thoroughly recommend NEdit (www.nedit.org). It's served me *very* well over the past year or so, syntax highlighting that you can customise/extend, and the ability to run commands inside an editor window :)
It probably already comes with your GNU/Linux distribution.
I like cooledit.. quite easy to use. I ain't used it much for C++ though.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check them out.
I'm using RH8.0. It's pretty nice in that everything is working but they've pretty much stripped away everything that usually comes with most distros. So far I've been using vi for editing confs.Quote:

It should definitely have an "nedit-*" package somewhere.
Check out http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/ -- it's what I use.
Both Cooledit and Anjuta look pretty good actually :) Might try them if I get time :)
I cant stand any of the IDEs for Lunix that I have tried... The cursor position looks exactly like the mousepointer, and it drives me nuts.

You would think so. Haven't found any. Not a problem though, I just downloaded/compiled it last night. Looks pretty nice.Quote:

Wow. I just compiled it (without a hitch). Very nice, reminds me of DevC++. Thanks for the suggestion sunburnt.Quote:
Wow, this things better than devcpp (this was posted after i played around with anjuta a little more).
