Jean-Paul, Actually, there's been a fully-programmable not-really-a-version-of-EMACS (SlickEdit) for MS-DOS for about two decades, at least well before Windows v3.x. At one time it was the editor of choice for large files, since most DOS-based editors didn't handle large files very well.
I didn't like TECO and never learned to like VI well enough to become proficient. However, the point is that most high-quality programming tools run under LINUX/UNIX, while most convenient and low-cost development tools of other sorts run under Windows because their authors want market share. I'm interested in documenting the "best", if there is such a thing, way of using SDCC under Windows without employing any more *nix-isms than are totally unavoidable, i.e. in the most comfortable way for Windows users. Perhaps there are practical intermediate methods, e.g. VMWARE, Multi-Boot (eeek!), or multiple hard disks (that's what I use, but it's not the "answer" either.) or even telnet between systems on the LAN. I'm primarily a hardware developer, though none of that can be of much use without firmware and software. The hardware tools for LINUX are improving steadily, but they've long been established under Windows, so most of us learned to use them there. I spend at least 16 hours of every day staring at Windows, or, at least, running something within it. I spend 2 hours/year using/attempting to use LINUX. Until the documentation catches up with the reality, it is likely to remain so. Switching back and forth is not realistic for me. I doubt that I'm alone in this view. regards, Richard Erlacher ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean-Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <sdcc-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 2:52 PM Subject: Re: [Sdcc-user] documentation & open source generally > > > Hello, > > it looks like you still have to discover Emacs and its frames, and > Makefile. > > However, don't try it under Windoze, it looks ugly ! > > > Jean-Paul > > > > On Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:17:40 +0200, Richard Erlacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> See below, please. >> >> regards, >> >> Richard Erlacher >> <snip> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Sdcc-user mailing list Sdcc-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sdcc-user
