RHIDE 1.1 has been released.
RHIDE is an integrated development environment for DJGPP.
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
Some hints for all users of the last version 1.0:
- The palette has been changed. If you use your old desktop
(.gdt) files, you will get wrong colors. Solution:
1) remove the old desktop file
or
2) Change all the colors which are wrong.
The problem above is also true for the default project file
%DJDIR%/bin/rhide.gdt, if there is one.
- Many bugs have been fixed. Please consult the 'rhide_ch.log' file
for more detailed information aboute the fixed bugs.
- RHIDE supports now to save/load the options.
- RHIDE and RHGDB support now dual display debugging.
- I have added the 'Call Stack' feature
- The debuggers support now graphics programs to be debugged (works not
at all but in most standard modes including VESA)
- Added a Puzzle, Calendar and ASCII table (for fun)
- RHIDE and RHGDB support now debugging of programs which hook the
keyboard and/or the timer interrupt (e.g. ALLEGRO)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
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
I have uplaoded RHIDE also to DJ's site and the archives will
available as soon as possible also at the simtelnet archive
and it's mirrors in the directory:
/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps
The distribution of RHIDE comes in two archives:
rhide11b.zip - The binaries together with doc and config files
rhide11s.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 1.0 and sent me suggestions and bug reports.
The Changelog for RHIDE is appended to this message.
Robert
