I'm trying to learn C in the university!

I don't really care where the program _can_ run, only that I can run
it from within the IDE. We're learning pointers and arrays and
recursive functions. We are not learning to build GUIs. So I can use
whatever compiles ANSI C, so long as it compiles from within the IDE
because I'll make five hundred small changes and I need to run after
each change.

OK, that sort of makes sense....

But I doubt you'll have much luck finding anything like Turbo C IDE for linux....

I used to use it quite a bit when it came out, but linux is just different....

IIRC correctly, you have an edit window, a run window, and an error window.

Sort of like an editor, a shell running make and the resulting executable, and possibly another shell running gdb...

The problem is that most of us in linux land are too damn picky and individualistic for a simple IDE to really gain popularity.

I use kate for some projects due to its ability to collapse and expand blocks of code. I use vi for quick changes. I use cat and less and grep to scan files. Sometimes I use sed to make global changes. I use gedit sometimes instead of kate. I use cross-compilers and different versions of gcc. I use all sorts of stuff, and the collection of little tools I have is far richer than any single IDE. And I can tile my windows in X to look like an IDE, so what need have I for an IDE?

So I doubt you'll find an IDE similar to Turbo C.... The only time you may find an IDE useful is for really complex tasks like dealing with Qt (yeccchhhh).
