Hello Nuklear,
I think the point is many IDE's have come and gone simply because others in
the past have come close to making great IDEs then stop. I was pretty happy
with the MinGW Developer Studio but Parinya eventually had other things
going on in his life and then the project ended up abandoned. This is not
necessarily something just for open source software either. SyBase had an
IDE called Power++ and let me tell you it was ahead of its time and they
abandoned it. Some of the things they were doing back in 95' are just now
making their way to Visual C++ 2005. One of my favorite features was the
drag and drop of functions into your code and a pop up wizard would appear
to allow you to select data from existing objects such as databases,
sockets, etc...
I don't want to discourage you, I think it is great if someone wants to
clone or replicate something for other platforms. I could see more interest
in the project if instead you put your efforts toward creating a new IDE
that only inherits the good things of Dev-C++ and also incorporates other
features that are fresh, new, innovative and/or useful. I am still waiting
for someone to make an editor with a find/replace panel similar to Firefox's
search. That is just one improvement for any IDE that I'd love to see.
Lets get rid of modeless dialogs! :-)

the XP Theme can be turned off easily, in fact it has to be turned on for

and in a big way, this projects purpose is to be the porting of dev to
other platforms. the wxdev project discussed porting and decided that it was
not something they should pursue. the bloodshed project has ceased because
the admins (and maybe developers?) do not have the time or means of
continuing its development.
i have time, interest and drive. so i can do it. it is my project so i can
do it my way. writing a c++ ide in c++ makes a lot of sense and i took the
time to learn wxWidgets. also, being that its purpose is to port the ide, it
should have that strict paradigm.
and about the choice, i am not doing it for YOUR choice of ide. i am doing
it so those who CHOOSE dev can also choose dev when they are in linux, or
mac, or wherever.
that is why.

hello everyone. i am starting a project on sf.net to attempt to clone as
reasonable close as possible the wxDev-C++ ide in wxWidgets so it can be
used by developers on other platforms. there are a few technical
difficulties of course.
two dealing with the interface are coolbar (not in linux as far as i am
aware)
and xp theme. i am wondering if anyone knows of any project or work
toward that kind of component set has been done for wxWidgets? this
would involve new components that wrap the native ones and can be
toggled to overwrite the drawing.
I don't see the need for cloning the aesthetics of the Dev-C++ ide. Why
does it have to be the clone "so close as possible".
I think most unix/linux users likes to see their programs integrated
with they current style. This is kind of the idea of wxWidgets.
I fear that when your project is finished other projects like
Code:Blocks might be chosen due to its long and and active development.
Although I believe Dev-C++ it's a great IDE, projects like Code::Blocks
are pretty much getting there. It might be more useful to make some kind
of tools that can import projects to each other.
And as Francesco said it would be a lot of work!
Sorry if my words sound hush, it's just my opinion.
Regards, Mat�as.
