Need C++ IDE

Subject says it. I need a legit C++ IDE. I have been using Dev C++ but it keeps giving me a link error to a code I know works. Used python but I don't feel like going through the work of making the script into an exe and want to make a console exe.

Thanks.

and you are sure that you configured your linker correctly?

I am 99% sure. I'm new to programming but I had it working then it stopped working altogether, so I switched back to Python but I loved using C++.

Vim is all you need.

What would you say are the pros and cons of Vim? I'm reading up on it and I'm  not completely impressed, no offense, maybe it's all in using it, but if you could give me a quick few points as to why it's so great, that'd safe some time.

With vim you can do anything.

Anyways.. if you are not impressed and want a real IDE, try Code::Blocks. It's free and multiplatform. And pretty good also.

I appreciate it. I'll give it a whirl and get the other one too. Do you have much experience in Python? If so would you say I'm dodging a bullet with opting out of making an exe out of python script?

>>7
You can make an exe from python script, but the executable size is very big, because it must include python interpreter with it. There are some tools for making those kinds of executables...

IMO it would be better to install python interpreter to target machine where the script is run, but if that's not possible, then it might make sense to create the executable.

Do you know of any links to said tools? Also, any links to how to set up the link system of Dev C++? Because now there is a shadow of doubt that maybe I am the flaw in the program not the program itself.

Google "python to exe" --> first result http://www.py2exe.org/

Also, please don't use Dev C++, it's very old program and might not work correctly. It would be much easier to just install Code::Blocks.

If you still have problem with the linking system with Code::Blocks, just use Google or any other good search engine to search for the error message from the linker. No need to ask every guestion from 4chan ;-) ...Well if you can't find the answer, you can ask /prog/ but prepare to be trolled in that case, so maybe some other programming forum might be better...

I was so nervous when I was on another board and they sent me here, the reputation for /prog/ is intimidating, which lead me to look elsewhere, but upon realizing that I love getting information from people semi-real time, it just helps get the best information. Yeah.. time to search for other programming forum, but oh well. Once again, 4chan has proved more helpful than the "orderly" parts of the internet.
