c programming and msvc++.net

[xddxogm3]

How do you configure msvc++.net to compile c programs the same way as gcc, but with the added fetures of the ide?
I want it to error on anything that is not linux compatible.
I have gcc on a slackware box, but I know msvc++.net more.
I think it would increase the speed of developement if I could do this. Or is not is there any c ide compiler that works on the xwindows invironment (fluxbox) that I can run that has the convenience features similar to msvc++, but using the gcc format?
I'm currently using pico and gcc. very time consuming.

When it comes to POSIX environments, I'm a die-hard vi user (old dog, new tricks, etc), but I have also used MSVC for several years. I recently stumbled onto KDevelop (version 3.0), and I think it is very good.

In some ways, I prefer KDevelop over MSVC. Consider giving it a try and see if it meets your needs: http://www.kdevelop.org/

vi definately better than pico

emacs > vi > pico

I have only used pico once on one of my friends mac g4 laptop though.

Please don’t derail this thread into a mindless squabble about which text editor is best.

If it carries on like this I’ll close the thread.

I have kdevelop on my slackware box already.
I haven't tried it yet.
The kdevelop site seems to be having problems.
Does the MSVC++.net have an option to write code as if it was on a linux box using gcc?

Think about it. Unless MSVC++ copied the gcc source it doesn't know how gcc turns the code into assembly then machine code. So it won't be able to. Why can't you use gcc? It is always good to learn something new.

i know how to use gcc.
my productivity is exponentially greater on msvc.
this is by no means is a pro for microsoft.
I'm just so used to the editing options.
I will when I have more time, start to explore gcc more indepth.
btw... does anyone know of a working link for kdevelop?
mine keeps timing out or not even linking.
