Setting up a Programming Environment in Linux [closed]

Question

I recently started using Linux as my primary OS. What are the tools that I will need to set up a complete programming environment in Linux for C and C++?

Answer 1

Standard stuff:

• The compiler tools, gcc, gdb, etc.
• Some sort of editor/IDE (emacs, vim, eclipse)
• Profiling tools
• Source Control (SubVersion, git, etc)
• Language specific tools, like easy_install for python (you said C/C++, but the same goes for everything)
• A web server maybe? Apache, Lighttpd, nginx
• Any libraries you'll be using. Are you doing kernal hacking? Driver development? opengl?

Answer 2

Among others you should also have gprof and valgrind ( or something in it's class ).
