I searching for and IDE that gives me a (mostly) uniform experience on Linux/Windows and C/C++ and Java. I’m somewhat comfortable with using Netbeans on Windows and I’d like to know what to expect of it on C. I heard the Visual Studio debugger is quite good on C, does this extend to Mono? Is it really more powerful than the one on Netbeans?
I’ve been using NetBeans for C++ development on Linux for the last month or two and love it. I’m working on an large code base 1+million lines of code. As long as your project references appropriately, I’ve found that NetBeans will provide “intellisense” information with hardly any issues. Now, it’s not perfect, and is definitely not as good as Java, but I’ve not found a better alternative. NetBeans debugger, which is a front-end to gdb, works well also. Much easier, and in my experience more stable than DDD. I’ve not tried Mono projects using NetBeans so I can’t speak to that.
This link explains how to setup a C++ project in NetBeans and may shed more light on the subject for you. This is for NetBeans 6.7 NetBeans C/C++.
