Linux version

#1 Post by Donald Shimoda » 05 Oct 2008 23:31

Seeing the new ide for 8051, all we must forget a linux IDE version of your product?

TIA

Hi Donald Shimoda,

Didn't you read all the previous posts? No, we don't need to forget about the linux compilers. The IDE and the compiler itself is now separated, thus allowing mikroE to just make up a linux IDE and hook it up to the compiler, or we can use a command line linux compiler with a simple text editor.

And wich have to do a simple text compiler with a IDE? Nothing, rigth? A IDE is a developer helper, so, having all the options you have now with lazarus to compiler under linux, why is not evaluated the linux IDE option? Have a lot of sense.
A compiler is great, but is not all we need to stop switching to a VM every time we need to use mikropaskal. We nee:

IDE.
Compiler (off course)
A mechanism to program the pic using mikroICD.
A mechanism to debug the pic using mikroICD.

That is a complete linux enviroment. A compiler will not even need builder in linux, i bet it works on wine already. The ide dont work on linux, btw.

And the second question was: will mikropaskal ide be like the 8051 one? Will mikroc?

Best regards.
Donald Shimoda.

Hi,

Yes, as far as I understand all the compilers' IDE for Windows will look like the 8051 one.

By splitting the compiler from the IDE it is easier to compile the compiler part separate and then to create 2 different IDEs, one for windows and one for linux.

Thus, the compiler will be command line and will be easy to build for linux and windows. The two separate IDEs will then call this compiler.

PICFlash will probably still be a tool on its own (as it is now) that can also be called from the IDE.
