Hallo Robert,
hello everybody!
This is an idea how to optimize Pascal support in RHIDE.
Pascal projects usually don't need a Makefile. The compiler can look
up all dependencies from the source. For this reason, the knowledge
of a single file name can replace the whole project in many cases.
It would significantly simplify the use of RHIDE with Pascal if RHIDE
would treat the presence of a "primary file" (introduced for Pascal
anyway;-) like an open project containing exactly this file.
(Currently, I must explicitly open a project, specify the "primary
file" and "add" the same file.)
In addition, if neither a project is open nor a "primary file" is
present, RHIDE could treat the current editor file (of course, only
if it is a Pascal source) as the "primary file". This would mean
that "make" (F9) would be enabled (and invoke `gpc --automake') and
"run" would call "make" and then run the program.
(I hope that the above is not too confusing ... if it is, please ask.:-)
However, thanks for the good work! I expect to spend many working
days in the coming years with RHIDE - with DJGPP and with Linux.
Greetings,
Peter
