  1. Code::Blocks from the default Ubuntu repositories is an alternative to Dev-C++ with similar features. Code::Blocks is a cross-platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It is based on a self-developed plugin framework allowing unlimited extensibility. Most of its functionality is already provided by plugins. Plugins included in the base package are:

    • Compiler frontend to many free compilers
    • Debugger frontend for GDB
    • Source formatter (based on AStyle)
    • Wizard to create new C++ classes
    • Code-completion / symbols-browser (work in progress)
    • Default MIME handler
    • Wizard to create new Code::Blocks plugins
    • To-do list
    • Extensible wizard based on scripts
    • Autosave (saves your work in the unfortunate case of a crash)

    Compare this functionality to the functionality of Dev-C++ and you'll see the resemblance, so it's worth a try.

    To install Code::Blocks open the terminal and type:

    sudo apt install codeblocks g++ xterm gdb # optional g++-8

  2. Ubuntu's official repository still has Code::Blocks 16.01 but the latest is 17.12. The command provided by Karel in this answer will install Code::Blocks v16.01. To install Code::Blocks v17.12, download it from here. Then run:

    tar -xf codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64_stable.tar.xz
sudo dpkg -i *17.12*.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
