Best GUI interface for C++ programming

[Deaf Smith]

Hello,

I have my own Apache server with Oracle8 Java, and C++ compilers. I use Ubuntu 12.04.

I soon will have a summer C++ class and I would like to have a good GUI editor/compiler to do alot of the homework at home (I have Eclipse for JAVA already.)

Can any of you give me some good suggestions on this. CodeLite or any other?

Thanks,

Deaf

CodeLite with wxCrafter, CodeBlocks with wxSmith, wxFormBuilder if you want to use wxWidgets framework.

Qt Creator if you want to use Qt framework.

Ok. Code:Blocks IDE.. the wxSmith, I notice there is:

WxSmith shared library (Code::Blocks plugin for RAD BUI editing)
WxSmith development files.. I presume libwxsmithlib-devI386

I presume install both along with Code:Blocks (using Ubuntu software center installation?)

And I also see a Contrib plugins for Code:Blocks. Is that ok to install to?

Thanks,

Deaf

Did you mean that you were wanted an IDE to develop GUI's in, or GUI IDE to develop C++ in? For the latter, Code::Blocks is very good. Also, yes, you do want the Contrib plugins (they have some very helpful things). You'll need the wxSmith shared library and the development files if you want to use wxSmith to create GUI's, too (AFAIK).

This is all you need: http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/
Eclipse, for C/C++.
I used it for years.

Don't use the Ubuntu software center , the repositories are updated very slowly and softwares are mostly old in 12.04 (probably because they want to include only tested,stable apps...)

If your looking for easy multi-platform support, I recommend using Qt. The IDE comes with an amazing library that covers everything from GUIs to XML parsing.

I use Netbeans with the Clang C++ compiler which is totally C++11 compliant.
