FWIW, under Win7, I was easily able to "wrap" an existing IDE around gcmc.
For
my work, I use the Keil uVision IDE for 8051 based development. This IDE has
the
capability to run a command line MS DOS batch file after the build.
So I created a new project with only one source file: main.c. This file was
an empty file:
main(void)
{
}
Now when I do a build, the batch file runs the gcmc command line, and it
produces
my gcode file. I also was able to add this gcode output file to the IDE
project,
setting it up to *not* be included in the build. This way I can view the
output
file directly in the IDE. This all makes for a very efficient
"edit-build-verify" cycle.
As a bonus, I can now edit my gcmc source file in a color-context editor :)
I know other IDE's out there have the same capability. Look for options such
as "Post Build Processing", and such.
