[TriLUG] Best IDE and version control for C and C++?

[mail via TriLUG]

Personally, I use Emacs as my editor/”IDE” and either Git or Darcs for version 
control.

For archival, you can always use `tar`, or if you want a graphical frontend 
`Ark` (KDE Plasma’s modular archive manipulation tool) or the GNOME (or other 
DE) equivalent.

Again, these are my preferences. I wouldn’t necessarily suggest you do the 
same, because, after reading the thread, I see that you don’t like running the 
build yourself. (Not saying that’s required with Emacs, but it’s certainly 
preferable to building in Emacs)
