V IDE

A nice front-end for GCC (or G++).
Just found it and thought i'd share it with you all... :D

Cheers!
 
@ Pekele : Thanks for that info mate. I'd heard and been told stuff about miniGP before but could never find a download of it. Until now. :)
I'm downloading miniGP now.

Cheers!
 
don't hesitate to post your pb, i' will be glad to answer you, if i can :)
 
Agh! :(
Too much configuring and tinkering with V-IDE, miniGP and the others. :huh:

I'm following the example of jlebrech and using Visual C++ instead. :)
Very easy to configure. Single click of a button and it compiles.
Thats more my style... :D

Cheers!
 
Whatever people may say, visual studio is still the best editor. When developing GBA and GP32 prods I always use it in conjunction with Visual Assist (from whole tomato software, I think). You can setup visual studio to compile through GCC, and run with GeePee32 (use command line options to make geepee32 load your compiled binary automatically)

Currently I use Bloodshed Dev-Cpp, an open-source and totally free GCC IDE. With a little modification it can be used to compile GP32 apps too.

How?????? I have Dev-C++, and I would really like to dev GP32 with it!

Ok...

It's not a proper built-in thing, where you press 'Compile' to compile. I infact cheated.

You have to make a few batch files. I had 'build', 'build and test', 'build fxe'.

The 'test' batch also starts up geepee32 and loads the gxb.
The 'build fxe' also runs b2fxe, and doesn't test.

Anyways you set up Tools > Configure Tools... to run these batch files, then link them in as toolbar buttons.
(This is also possible on MS Visual C++)
You have to know a bit about batch files, tho, so that it works on any file anywhere.

However you -can- go into Compiler Options and set the compiler to arm-elf-gcc, add in include/lib directories, etc, which is what you're supposed to do.

Rico
any chance you can let me have a copy of the batch files and an idiots guide?
