C Programing Compiler[solved]

[inktitan]

I am looking for a good C programing compiler equivalent to Pelles. With the same color codes and the ability to preview my project before trying to do an actual make file. I have Tried Geany and NetBeans and like them both but I cant seem to get them to execute the preview. Pelles won't execute the preview in Wine because it doesn't understand the save location. Any advice or tips are welcome and yes I am very new to this.

Are you looking for a compiler or an IDE, i.e. Integrated Development Environment (which is what Geany and Netbeans are)? For a compiler, I recommend gcc (GNU C Compiler). If you want proprietary alternatives though, e.g. Borland, that's an option as well. As for IDEs, there's a whole range of IDEs out there for Linux ... try one until it suits your tastes, e.g. Eclipse, Codeblocks, Codelite, Anjuta, KDevelop, MonoDevelop, etc.

I guess I am looking for an IDE then. I just assumed compiler because the Pelles disk I have is a complier but works the same as Netbeans for the most part. I'll give gcc a shot. Thanks.

If you use an Intel processor, you may also be interested in the Intel C compiler..
