A bit more about the IDE I use with GCC. It's written by a guy in
Yugoslavia. It is written for Windows and looks very similar to
Visual C IDE. It's not perfect yet.
It has a built in Resource editor that is WYSIWYG GUI Interface. It
creates *.rcp files. It can build resources and compile resources.
It can run all the GCC utilities as seperate operations. It can
launch POSE directly from within the IDE.
I have tried the Constructor and other Resource viewers and the one
with PilotMag is the best representation of what the display will
actually look like. Although I have not seen the latest one used
with CW.
It uses project files to keep track of *.c modules. It has a tabbed
interface so that you can have all your *.c modules open at the same
time and switch back and forth between modules. Has all the cut and
paste options you might need.
There is a demo (30 days I think) and the registered product only
cost $20.
