Eclipse CDT. It is not as good as Eclipse JDT for Java but it is still |
| 6 |
pretty good and gets you started really quick. |

Multiple tabs and multiple windows. You can also place two tabs next to |
| 12 |
each other for comparison by drag-and-drop. |

I believe there is something called a "local history" but I don't rely |
| 18 |
on it. There are good plugins for SVN (Subclipse, Subversive), Mercurial |
| 19 |
and Git (EGit). I've only worked with Subclipse, though. |

It comes with a GUI make file generator. It is not great for |
| 25 |
distribution and such alike but it is good enough to compile code while |
| 26 |
developing. You can also configure it to use existing make files or do |
| 27 |
other things when you press "build" or "run". |

If the syntax check doesn't help you and the error markers after |
| 35 |
executing GCC don't help either, just mark everything and tell Eclipse |
| 36 |
to correct the indentation (Ctrl+A Ctrl+I). Usually you can then see |
| 37 |
where it messes up. |

|

BTW: If you try it out, please just download it from eclipse.org. Don't |
| 40 |
use the version from portage. It is a bit outdated, takes ages to build |
| 41 |
and I also had problems with it in the past. |

Hope this helps, |
