You edit the source on windows and share your source directory with the linux machine. The virtual machine trick can be used quite well with Windows host and linux guest as well when you have a Windows machine and you keep an ubuntu inside the VM. You can use this trick to get any other windows-only editors on linux. :-) After this you can do all the work inside the windows machine and you can switch with alt+tab between VisualC++ and the ssh client.

To circumvent this switching install an ssh client in the windows machine and login to the host. This solution has the disadvantage of terribly slow and uncomfortable installation and switching between the host/guest wm can be uncomfortable. In this case you have comfortable source editing but you have to compile the code on the linux (host) machine. Its surprisingly good free stuff.ĮDIT: another option is running a virtual machine with windows and using Visual C++ in it to edit sources that are on the linux machine in a directory shared with the VM. Most of the time I work on windows platform with Visual C++ but when I have to check out a linux bug in crossplatform code I use this stuff edit the source. I wouldn't say the same about it if it comes to C/C++. Eclipse is an excellent (and my favorite) IDE for java.
