Hello, I wanna get a complete C++ IDE for linux, specifically ubuntu 7.1, but I want a kind of link where I could download all the files and packets at once, because I have to install it on a remote pc that is far from one Internet connection. I don't need and strong IDE because it is for teach basics of C++. Could you please help me???
A:
Linux is a complete C++ IDE!
I know I'm not directly answering the question, but I really do think it's worth doing it the Unix way - it's much more fun.

A:
Code::Blocks, Netbeans or Eclipse may fit your needs.
You will have to download the packages required by the build-essentials Ubuntu package, as I don't think any of the IDEs come with GCC.
If it is for teaching the basics, what is wrong with GEdit and GCC? That way the IDE doesn't do the magic of building for them and they learn about make and other programs that are common in the Linux world.

Here are a few for you to try:
- KDevelop
- Code::Blocks
- Qt Creator (for Qt developers, but can also be used as a general C++ IDE)
BTW, Emacs is the "IDE" I prefer. It integrates well with the rest of the GNU tool-chain (i.e tools like make, GDB etc). It also provide such niceties as auto-code-indent, syntax-highlighting and code completion. In fact, Emacs has the best auto-indent facility among all IDEs I have tried.

Emacs cannot handle indentation with tabs while aligning with spaces :(

Many people like Code::Blocks a lot. QTCreator has been getting popular lately, too. I would not recommend Eclipse for C++ development. I personally use GEdit.

I like QtCreator, but I think it's a bit overkill if they're only going to be writing console apps.

Well, if you ask me, IDEs are overkill for pretty much everything. That's why I use GEdit.

I used to be a Java programmer, When I moved to C/C++ I enjoyed using Eclipse CDT, it is a good, customizable and powerful IDE. QtCreator is another nice full Qt integrated tool.

I use Eclipse... or Gedit. But Ubuntu 7.10? You'll get a much newer version of whatever you choose if you upgrade to 9.10.
