DJ version (DOS) JanJaap works
I came across a new DJGPP app called "rhide" It's a Borland-clone IDE that works with djgpp (C & C++) I'll see if I can hack it to work with GPC. Would make a neat Turbo Pascal replacement ;)
Installation instructions Larry ? Documentation Larry ?
Larry, if you're there: I rewrote much of the installation notes. Also, I took a "Using and porting GCC" manual, did a "search GCC -- replace with GPC" action, TeXi-fied much of the existing readme's and put it all together. Let me know how to send this stuff to you.
Run time system Juki works
I have preliminary, new "autoconf" scripts for RTS. Should reduce configuration to "configure ; make". Handles all CFLAGS, platform dependant includes etc. I'll see if I can do something simular for GPC itself.
Some other RTS related remarks:
*) GNU is going international. How about adding localization to RTS? Won't work if you're not on un*x, but can be buildtime selectable (flag to autoconf script)
*) How 'bout RTS as an ELF shared library?
*) Documentation again: RTS needs documentation. I looked at the Cygnus and DJGPP C libraries and they use Texinfo fragments in the source, extract it with some utility to one big texinfo file. That way it's easy to keep documentation up to date.
Replacement for (parts of) CRT Peter beta (BO5) Replacement for Graph Peter planned Replacement for Turbo Vision Peter planned
Now, if somebody would port TVision to un*x (use termcap / info instead of direct screen writes) it would probably be not too much work to port this RHIDE thing to unix. Then you have an IDE. (sorry guys, I'll never be a fan of emacs)
