Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 12:49:14 +0100 (MET) From: Robert Hoehne To: DJGPP-ANNOUNCE Subject: RHIDE version 1.2 released Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: rhide12b.zip - The binaries together with doc and config files rhide12s.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 1.1 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 1.1: ====================================== 20.01.1997: Released version 1.1 20.01.1997: Removed the 'set print object on' in librhgdb.
