Been trying to decide which IDE to use to do C++ programming in Ubuntu.
Loaded eclipse and spent ages trying to get things to compile, no matter what I did it wouldn't work correctly, used pkg-config plugin still no joy.
Command line compiled fine, gave up and started using it purley as a text editor.
Installed Qt creator instead, similar issues although much better help.
Main issue is trying to use C++ libraries.
useful command when trying to solve pkg-config problems:
pkg-config --list-all >pkglist.txt (this lists all known packages and sends to a file for searching)
posted issue on pkg-config here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2088584
Decided best way was just to use it to write the .cpp files and use command line compiler.
Using CMakelists.txt and the following:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
and then running the file with ./
