Try: Code::Blocks

It is incredibly powerful IDE, yet lightweight, only 20MB. I use to program in C++ with opencv. And if you want to increase even more, you can add several plugins, like: Eclipse IDE, but without its 200MB.

Good luck.

The question was about implementing an IDE, not finding an existing one. (Also, for Qt programming, I think Qt Creator is the superior open source solution, but that's matter of opinion of course.) – hyde Oct 21 '12 at 10:30
