OpenLDev is a graphical front-end to Linux development tools such as gcc, GNU autotools and make. OpenLDev strives to provide an easy-to-use interface that is both productive for experts and simple for beginners.

History

After two and a half years since the first release 0.1.0 in September 5 2004 development has been halted after the release of the first final stable version 1.0 from March 28, 2007 and the website was shut down. In a small note put on openldev.org instead of the original website they recommend using the also free and GTK+ based IDE Anjuta as an alternative.

Features

OpenLDev uses the GtkSourceView widget for all editing capabilities. Here is a short list of some of the features supported in the latest versions of the application:
* Source code editor with syntax highlighting and automatic indentation
* Makefile editor that allows you to manage large projects
* Automatic completion of code
* Built in terminal using libvte
* C, C++ and GTK+ project templates
* Plugin system created with GModule
