I have a graphical IDE that works fine with DJGPP in windows, called
WinGCC.
It was written a few years ago by a fellow who went to my high school. It's
written in visual basic, and it's "Feature-lite" ;)
That is, it basically has a notepad-like editor with multispace tabbing,
and it has a "Compile" button that lets you compile it without needing to
enter commands at the command line.
The text editing itself is crappy, but it compiles perfectly well with no
problems at all. You could use another text editor, like one with color
highlighting, smart tabbing, and all those cool features, and use this to
compile it, but that would be a pain with the switching back and forth
between them if you're compiling often.
It's not available on the internet, though, and it's too big for me to send
you. This does show that it could be done, though.
I wish I knew visual basic myself, then maybe I could interpret the code to
figure out how exactly it works, since I've been trying to get DJGPP to
compile from another IDE, and running into problems.
