I'm a starter in C++ and i need a IDE.

[Michie4life]

I know that there are many tread's about this, but i need a easy to use IDE with less problem's for simple programming. An there are to many of them:



I had many compiling problems with DevCpp so that one wont work.

geany is nice and simple.

I hear MonoDevelop is a pretty good C++ IDE.

If you're a starter I'd recommend not using an IDE at all, at least until you get the hang of it.
An IDE usually makes life easier for you, this is not what you want when learning a language.

So I would use a simple clean text editor.

I agree with whoop that you shouldn't use an IDE or debugger until after you learn to write programs using a text editor and compile them on the command line.

edit: after that, I'd recommend Code::Blocks. I like Monodevelop, but I think it's better suited for C#. I also like geany, but it's more of a lightweight IDE/powerful text editor.

When I first moved into Linux, I typically just used gedit with the gcc compiler because I've been to lazy to learn emacs. But now I've started using Eclipse. I started with Eclipse when I started learning Java and upon finding all the different plugins for it I use it for just about any type of programming I need to do. I haven't used it for C++ much yet but for everything else I've tried it has worked wonderfully.

IDE's hide a lot of the underlying details, which you need to know if something breaks. You would be better off learning how to compile from the command line, learn a build system like Cmake or autotools and learning how to use a version control system.

If you spend the time to learn a decent editor like Vim or Emacs, you will never want to touch an IDE again.

this is true. but if you already understand the basics of coding and using a command line then don't feel bad about using an ide. its much better for large projects.

I'm going to third or forth geany.

It's a good general purpose text editor with IDE-like powers, but not enough to get in your way (eg: impose a certain kind of build system). It's ideal for small projects.
