The Anjuta 1.2.0 IDE for C/C++ [LWN.net]

Version 1.2.0 (stable) of Anjuta, a GTK/GNOME-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for C and C++, has been announced on SourceForge, and also on GnomeDesktop.org.

"Like all .0 releases, it is at about 99% stability (with some minority bugs accounting to the missing 1% :))."

[Anjuta] A short list of Anjuta features includes:

An integrated editor.
A gdb-based source-level debugger.
Wizards for creating terminal mode and GTK/GNOME applications.
Dynamic Tags browsing.
Management for projects, build files, and bookmarks.
Attachable and detachable windows.
Limited support for Java, Perl, and Pascal.
An interactive messaging system.

Anjuta is well documented, available resources include an online manual, a FAQ, a tutorial, and a project wiki. The Anjuta screenshots page and picture corner show the program in use. Translations are available for 20 languages.

Unlike many projects of this size and complexity, Anjuta installed (on a Red Hat 9.0 system) with minimal effort. Just one rpm command was required, and amazingly, there were none of the typical dependency problems to deal with. Anjuta fired up and worked as advertised in the documentation.

Your editor was able to create, compile, and run a simple C "hello world" program with only a few minutes of poking around in the documentation.

Anjuta appears to be loaded with all kinds of productivity enhancing capabilities. On the project level, it works with CVS, supports Makefiles, and performs software installation. Additional resources are available for building RPMs, working with databases, and much more. With a bit of work on the learning side, Anjuta should have a fairly rapid payback in time saved when working with medium and large size projects.
