Which Opensuse 10.3 IDE software is suitable for Visual Studio 6.0 syntax?

[1joeyirosh4]

Hallo!I have been writing C/C++ programs in Windows XP using Visual Studio 6.0 installation.I would like to run the same programs in Opensuse 10.3 and I have tried to use KDevelop IDE.Unfortunately,the C/C++ syntax for KDevelop is very different from Visual Studio 6.0 thus not compatible.

Is there a Opensuse 10.3 IDE that can run Visual Studio 6.0 program syntax.If so,please tell me its name and where I can download it.Thanks in advance

Visual studio is a window's program you will have to use wine to run it

The problem here is two-fold. Microsoft Visual Studio does not use standard ANSI C++, so there are quite a few functions you can use in VC++ that simply do not work on any system other than Microsoft Windows.

Secondly, if your program makes use of any of the GUI aspects or COM objects in Windows, there is no Linux equivalent to that code and it will need to be replaced with calls to a native Linux graphics library such as OpenGL, Qt, or GTK+.

So to answer your question, no, there is no Linux IDE that will allow you to use Visual Studio's special non-standard C++ functions. If your code in Windows is ANSI standard-compliant, it will port over just fine however.

The easiest way to determine this is to download an ANSI-standard compiler in Windows (such as Bloodshed Dev-C++) and see if you can get your program to run.
