Introduction to Anjuta

Anjuta is a versatile Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for C and C++ on GNU/Linux. It has been written for GTK/GNOME, and features a number of advanced programming features. It is basically a GUI interface for the collection of command line programming utilities and tools available for Linux. These are usually run via a text console, and can be unfriendly to use.

Anjuta is an effort to marry the flexibility and power of text-based command line tools with the ease-of-use of GNOME's graphical user interface. That's why it has been made as user-friendly as possible.

Please have a look at the screenshot.

At present, Anjuta is only a beta release and lots of work needs to be done to improve it. In the future, Anjuta is going to be much more capable and stable! Extensive debugging has not yet been performed, so at the moment it will undoubtedly have lots of bugs. It would be great if you use it and report any problems to us. That way, you will be helping to improve the software as well as helping the Open Source community.

Any suggestions or patches for Anjuta are also most welcome.
