VC IDE for cross compiler
-
I'm looking for ideas on how to utilize the VC IDE when working with other compilers/linkers. We do a lot of 8 and 16 bit code for the devices that we talk to from windows and I'd like to use the VC IDE for those projects as well. We currently use the VC 1.52 IDE with an external makefile for these projects. I've been unable to get the VC 16-bit compiler to execute from a makefile within VC 6. I would also entertain any suggestions for an alternative IDE that would work with these cross-compiler toolsets. Thanks, Steven J.

In the past I have used Codewright as an IDE for 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit projects. The IDE offers a similar set of features as VC++ and has a similar look-and-feel.

Might I also humbly suggest that you have a look at ED for Windows. ED4W is a full featured programmers editor which is popular with developers doing cross development. A major new release, Version 4, which is near completion extends its language sensitive editing capabilties via. Style Sheets and Language Flavours. These are important additions for folks doing cross development. Full compiler support with error tracking is built in. You can download a free trial of the current 3.80 release from www.getsoft.com and see details of V4 on the Future Plans page on our site. Neville Franks, Author of ED for Window
