Hi Don,
I am using programmers notepad, which I got as part of
winavr=
. All I had to do to get it to work with SDCC was
to create a new makefil=
e, with commands to compile with
SDCC.
I discovered how easy it was to us=
e with SDCC by
accident, when I was looking at some sdcc code in
wordpad. =
I think my brain has gotten used to seeing
C code with color syntax highl=
ighting, and it was kind
of grating to look at everything in the same colo=
r.
So I thought I would open the file in winavr's
"programmers notepad", =
just to edit it, and then
compile it with the bat file I had been using wit=
h
wordpad. Well, it didn't take too long for me to
wonder if I could get a=
makefile to run the bat
file. Before I tried that, it clicked in my head
=
that I did not need the bat, I could just use
the makefile!
You don't need=
winavr to get programmers notepad, but
I think you might need at least th=
e gnu binutils
to use "make" (installs as part of winavr suite).
There is =
one quirk to programmers notepad (and it
may have something to do with the =
fact I am using it
under win98), but the "output window" has a habit
of dis=
appearing, and sometimes dialogs (like "open")
appear underneath the other =
windows. It's only
mildly annoying after you understand what is happening.=
Some features I really like are the "tabbed" multiple
editor windows, wh=
ere you can keep several files open,
and the ability to select columns of =
text for
cutting/pasting. Also, it makes error messages (even
from SDCC) =
into clickable links, and puts cursor
on the error line when you click one.=
And the color
syntax hightlighting, of course!
