Does GCC have a GUI?

Question

Does GCC have a GUI or Graphical IDE?

Edit:

I'm on Windows Vista /7 OR Ubuntu 9.10. I'm looking for something beginner-friendly. I've used Flash CS3 for 2 years and been doing HTML for 6. I have toyed briefly with Java and once or twice tried C++. I prefer working on Windows for now.

Answer 1

No. gcc is a compiler! There are many IDEs that use gcc underneath the hood.

The choice of the IDE is dependent on the language you desire. For Objective-C, pretty much the only supported IDE is XCode on Mac OS X. XCode is bundled with Mac OS X (at least available for free online).

Answer 2

Plenty. Just to name a few, in no particular order:

• Eclipse

  

• KDevelop

  

• Anjuta

  

• MonoDevelop

  

• Code::Blocks

  

• Qt Creator

  

• On Mac, Xcode

  

• On Windows, Dev-C++

  

• Not real IDEs but still very popular development environments: Emacs, Vim

(As notnoop has noted, there is no official IDE but there are many standalone IDE applications that support targeting GCC)

Answer 3

gcc is just a compiler, not an IDE.

On Windows you can use its MinGW port.

On Linux IDEs like emacs,vim,geany,code::blocks,netbeans use gcc as their compiler.
On Windows IDEs like Dev-Cpp, Code::Blocks, etc support MinGW port of gcc

EDIT :

ON Windows you can use Code::Blocks(my favourite) that comes bundled along with MinGW compiler or you can also use MSVC++ IDE(but I think it has a broken compiler :P)
