What is the best C++ editor that works under MD9.1?
I know the question is more of a personal opinion, but it's more meant for me to see what program would be best to install.
Also, does C++ under a unix-based OS work differently then under windows? Because I've learned C++ for windows and want to be able to program within linux too...
If there is a difference, what books explain the switch between windows and linux C++ programming best?
Hi,
what is MD9.1 (motiff ?)
as for unix, i do not know any specific editor for c++, but i love vi and can suggest you to go for it.
you may also use emacs, i have not used it however.
besides with vi (rather vim or gvim) you can get all the text features of keyword highlighting, auto indentation etc etc.
as for the concepts of c++, they remain the same, but the compiler behaviour surely varies.
as long as you are not using system specific libraries all is the same. if you intend to do system programming and stuff like that then yo need to go for the specific books. My favourite is Richard steven for system programming.
All the best!!!
basic c++ programming is cross platform, after that, basically everything depends on the libraries you use.
I agree with linuxpenguin. Working with multiple UNIX flavors at multiple companies, I tend to lean towards the lowest common factor. I know that I'll find vi everywhere I work. The same can't be said of custom editors, emacs etc. There is power in vi that people often overlook (buffers, typecasting etc.)
Cheers,
Keith
If you prefer an IDE, try kdevelop. It's a nice one, though any text editor is sufficient.
BTW, Kdevelop is at http://www.kdevelop.org/ . I've downloaded it and am playing - it reminds me of my old Borland days.

MD9.1 = Mandrake 9.1(linux)
And thanks for all the replies 
Got another question, those editors you all posted, do they come with compilers and linkers as well? Or should I get a compiler from somewhere else?
Cause with my first question I actually meant an editor that has a compiler included, at school I use notepad and dmc(a command-line compiler). We don't have command-line access from within windows, but with a simple trick everyone can get around that
At home, at my windows pc I use notepad and borland visual C++ and dmc.
I'm thinking of using emacs at my linux pc, but I'm going to try Vi too. but I need a compiler too I'll go look over the internet, but some feedback here would be much appreciated!
Hi,
A compiler is a compiler, an IDE is an IDE... 
You can ( should ) use gcc on Linux... you must have it installed, try to write gcc at the console and see what you get...

If you're new about programming you can use Anjuta , a very good ide.
Take a look at www.anjuta.org : you can find sure rpm for your distro if you search on
www.rpm.pbone.net
Have fun.
Thanks, i haven't had the chance to try anything out yet, my girlfriend is ill, so been spending A LOT of time with her the last couple of days.
I will for sure try this Anjuta out when I get the chance.
Thanks for all help
