Eclipse CDT. It is not as good as Eclipse JDT for Java but it is still pretty good and gets you started really quick. > 1) Something that can display multiple files in a project. > Multiple tabs and multiple windows.

There are good plugins for SVN (Subclipse, Subversive), Mercurial and Git (EGit). I've only worked with Subclipse, though. > 3) If possible, I can compile right in the IDE. > It comes with a GUI make file generator. It is not great for distribution and such alike but it is good enough to compile code while developing. You can also configure it to use existing make files or do other things when you press "build" or "run". > I've starting writing something.

Usually you can then see where it messes up. BTW: If you try it out, please just download it from eclipse.org. Don't use the version from portage. It is a bit outdated, takes ages to build and I also had problems with it in the past. Hope this helps, Florian Philipp
