RHIDE is an integrated development environment for DJGPP. *********************************************************** NNeeWW !! ========= RHIDE 1.2a is now available also for Linux: Check out the following URL: http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho/rhide-linux.html ********************************************************** It looks like the IDE from Borland C++ 3.1 and is written with my port of the Turbo Vision library. Some features of RHIDE: - Syntaxhighlight - Using projects to build programs or libraries from many source files. - Integrated checking of dependencies for the files to compile - Integrated debugger - Support for multiple languages of the user interface - Integrated online help for RHIDE itself and acces to the DJGPP info files ------------------------------------------------------------------- RHIDE is free software with copying conditions of the GPL. The primary site for RHIDE is my WWW site at this URL: http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho/rhide.html And this version is available only from this site, because it is designed to be a development version until RHIDE 1.3 is ready. The distribution of RHIDE comes in two archives: rhid12ab.zip - The binaries together with doc and config files rhid12as.zip - The sources for RHIDE The binary zip file contains three executables: rhide.exe - This is RHIDE gpr2mak.exe - This is an utility to convert RHIDE project files to a makefile without the need of RHIDE rhgdb.exe - A standalone debugger. This GDB 4.16 with a Turbo Vision interface (but not all features of gdb can be used) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Because of the new editor RHIDE needs in some situations to be configured for the keyboard. For this, please read the readme in the %DJDIR/data directory. I'm not longer distribute a separate Turbo Vision port for DJGPP, because the changes I have mad are too much to work betther with RHIDE. The sources for that library are include in the source zipfile. Because nobody is perfect, RHIDE has still some bugs (known or not already known). If you found one or have problems with RHIDE please read at first the documentation. If it didn't help you ask you question in the news group comp.os.msdos.djgpp or post it to: djgpp AT delorie DOT com which is then redirected also to the newsgroup. But you can mail me also directly to robert DOT hoehne AT mathematik DOT tu-chemnitz DOT de Because it was not possible to syncronize the translations to other languages together with the developing of RHIDE, the language files in the archives are not all complete. So you will see somtimes some strings not in the expected language, but in English. I will update if I have the complete translated files them on my WWW site from where you can then dowload the file for your language, which can be installed then over the existing RHIDE installation. And at this point many thanks to all users, who had tested all the last version 1.2 and sent me suggestions and bug reports. The Changelog for RHIDE is appended to this message. If you reply to this message, please send it not to djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com, use instead djgpp AT delorie DOT com Robert Changelog for RHIDE since version 1.2: ====================================== 17.03.1997: Released version 1.2 ... working on the linux port 27.03.1997: Fixed the bug, when closing a window which was modified, then Cancel ==> absolutely undefined results (only when the close icon was clicked with the mouse) 27.03.1997: Hopefully fixed now the mouse cursor lost after UserScreen and/or Dos-Shell 27.03.1997: Changed the titles for Ctrl+F4 and Watchwindow ... working on the linux port 03.04.1997: The first working linux version is ready. During the linux porting many small changes done with #ifdef's ... many changes related to the linux port (screen, keyboard, mouse) 13.04.1997: Added a config file (rhide.env), which is searched in standard places and the current directory. Now there is no need to modify djgpp.env. 16.04.1997: Changed the default directories for the data files (keyboard config) to $(prefix)/share/rhide and the locale directory to $(prefix)/share/locale. 16.04.1997: Added builtin support for NASM (*.asm *.nsm). 17.04.1997: Fixed the 'Search in all files' crash in the INFO-viewer 17.04.1997: Added: When fuzzy methode is selected in syntaxhelp, the first exact match is focused. 18.04.1997: Some fixes in creating the makefile from a project. 19.04.1997: Added new specs and string-functions. 19.04.1997: Libraries to be linked in depending on a suffix of a project item can be customized now with RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS.cc=iostr and so on. 20.04.1997: Fixed (hopefully without creating new bugs) the opening of a file from the message window (was wrong when there are multiple files with the same basename) 20.04.1997: Added a new commandline switch (-E), which dumps all the environment variables, which are seen by RHIDE in that directory (including that from the rhide.env file(s)), to stderr ***************************************************************** * Robert Hoehne, Fakultaet fuer Mathematik, TU-Chemnitz-Zwickau * * Post: Am Berg 3, D-09573 Dittmannsdorf * * e-Mail: Robert DOT Hoehne AT Mathematik DOT TU-Chemnitz DOT DE * * WWW: http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho * *****************************************************************
