Hi,

I am a Visual Studio user who is working now on some Linux development. Can
anyone recommend a good way to come up with an environment that mimicks
Visual Studio. This is what I would love to do:

1. Simple and easy editor with a quick link to a view of the project's
files.
2. Integrated class view.
3. Compile from within the editor.
4. Easily go from error to error.
5. Recursive file search for text.
6. Integrated lookup of classes and type info (Find Definition)
7. A great visual debugger.

I know that is a lot to ask for and probably is something that one has to
assemble for themselves from different parts, but I am new to working on
Linux and would like to learn from everyone else's experience. I have
worked on Workshop on Solaris and thought that is very weak compared to Vis
Dev. I hope I can find something similar for NT.

Thanks,

Josh

Yes. KDevelop.

Check. Although you might be in for a shock if you really research into the
way software is built under Linux. It's a quite elaborate process that more
or less can guarantee you good portability to other UNICES if done
properly.

5. Recursive file search for text.
What do you mean? There is a plugin called KFileReplace that can search and
search-and-replace over all the files in your project. If that is what you
mean, the check.

Good enough. Use another one if you need to.

Best part of all: you can change the visual appearance of KDevelop to look a
bit like VC.

I took a look at the site and it really looks awesome. I'm going to try it
on Tuesday at the office.
