Okay, just got into linux, and how does one go about doing C++ development in linux? Can one just use 'vi' to edit text, and then call the g++ compiler? Or does Debian come with a c++ environment? I did find a good IDE, Dev-C++ for linux, but it was made 5 years ago.
I would prefer t o use an IDE as opposed to going back to my roots ^_^ So if anyone knows any good ones (Open Source prefered), yeah, that would be great...
(I couldn't decide whether to put this in the linux forum or the C++ forum, so I just picked the closest I could get.)
Dec 11, 2017 If you are using Debian or Ubuntu Linux, type the following apt-get command to install GNU c/c compiler: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install build-essential manpages-dev. Step #2: Verify installation. Type the following command to display the version number and location of the compiler on Linux: $ whereis gcc $ which gcc $ gcc -version. Jan 11, 2020 Refer the following guide to install all development tools in your Linux box. How To Install Development Tools In Linux The development tools includes all necessary applications, such as GNU GCC C/C compilers, make, debuggers, man pages and others which are needed to compile and build new software, packages etc.

Oooh... many different ways of programming in Linux.
Linux Debian Vs Mint
There's the bare-bones programming in Vi or some other text editor, and then compiling with gcc/g++. This is best for small projects, because anything larger, and the syntax becomes too complex.
There are also LOTS of IDEs out there for Linux. You've already named one, Dev-C++, and although it's old, it's still perfectly good and works well. Another good one for Linux is '>Code::Blocks, which is similar to Dev-C++, except it's a more recent IDE. Then there's the good old KDevelop, which is designed for KDE, although it's possible to run it under Gnome, too.
Hope this helps
