Installing Anjuta 2.4 on Ubuntu 8.04

Open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install anjuta", then hit return.
It will ask for your password, type it (there will be no "*"-s or other feedback, but just type yout password, then hit return).
(Note, that you have to do this with the user, that you created first (during the install).)
(Note, that you have to have an active internet connection, because the command will download anjuta.)

Hope, that this will help!

Hi,

I'm a newbie and executed your command. I do have a working net connection but this is what I got out of it.

Please try "sudo apt-get update", then the same command to install. If it doesn't work, please send the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

I'm pasting what came after i executed the update command, and then this install one.

It installed Anjuta IDE, but its just a file editor --- how can i compile and make programs..
I had installed one under SUSE but it kept on prompting me 3 errors in 10.3 version

This anjuta looks totally different than the one in SUSE. I know I'm not making any sense. But I have no clue about linux and trying to install a C/C++ IDE is making me insane. Can you please help me -- now i do need everything stepwise.. please

How do i add that file, it seems to open up a configuration pop-up box.

Sorry I never used Anjuta, so I don't think I can help with this.
Here is the manual from the homepage of Anjuta, maybe this can help: http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/documentations/subpage/documents/C/anjuta-manual/anjuta-manual.html

Hello Urban, thank you for providing the answers. As of now I'm simply unable to tell my unique problem.

If not anjuta, could you please tell me, how I can install another IDE(completely without any more hiccups). I'm just a simple user, but with all these technicalities I'm growing mad by the second.

The version 1.24a of anjuta is what i am looking for, and 2.4 is completely different, in which there is not even a Debug menu.

So could you help me out ?

Or you guide me to install some other IDE that would be easily done by me.

Thank you.

Well, I'm sure, there is some way to debug in Anjuta 2.4, but I'm not using it, so I can't give you further instructions.
If you want to use another IDE, maybe try geany, I think it's a simple IDE (though I never used it). You can install it with "sudo apt-get install geany".

To enable debugging in Anjuta, do the following:
  - From the main menu, select "Edit/Preferences"
  - A window opens up.
  - In that window, select "General" on the left side.
  - Select the "Installed Plugins" tab, on the right side.
  - Check the checkbox in front of "Debugger - Debug Manager Plugin" and press the Close button.

The "debug" menu will now appear in Anjuta.

Anjuta is not that hard to figure out - keep working with it a bit and you'll get the hang of it.
I'm completely new to it and am now developing basic C++ programs using Anjuta,
after installing Ubuntu today, installing Anjuta, then figuring out how to use the debugger.
It seems like a fine tool - a lot of people use it.

These seem to be some of the most popular IDEs that I see people mention using:
  - Anjuta
  - Eclipse
  - KDevelop

I think Intel has a free IDE/compiler for Linux, also.

Hope things work out for you.
