GCC-based IDE's for DOS?

· Score: 3, Informative
Shamelessly cut+pasted
Tools for programming and developing your project
Programming enviroments
Robert Höhne developed (with the colaboration of some friends;-) a whole IDE (Integrated Development Enviroment) with the same look & feel of the Borland's IDE but more powerfull;-). It's called RHIDE. I contributed to this project with the Help classes (aka InfView, to read the Info files) and the text editor (specially designed for writing C/C++). The last stable version is 1.4.9 and is available for Linux too!.
A very used enviroment in the world of Linux is the GNU Emacs. Emacs is a very huge and powerfull editor that can be customized by the user. The program is splited in various ZIP files. Now v20.5 is available for DOS.
For people that comes from UNIX there are a VI clon for DOS called VIM (http://www.primenet.com/~imbe/vim/ The link seems to be broken, if you can get it download the sources and compile it). The sources of the last beta version (5.0t that compiles with DJGPP) can be obtained here. A GUI Shell for windows is available too.
SET's editor (SETEdit) v0.4.41 by... SET, that's: by me;-). SETEdit is a very powerful editor with a lot of tools for programmers (is the one used by RHIDE). That's the last version publicly available. If you want to cooperate just contact me. Free, donations accepted;-). For information and downloads visit this page. Last beta version is v0.4.49 and is a candidate to become the next stable release. A test binary for Win32 (native Win32) is available. Debian packages and test versions for Linux/PPC and Linux/SPARC are also available. We need help to fully support Solaris and FreeBSD, also to fix problems in Linux/Alpha.
Lemur 0.3 (alpha) by Endlisnis scanning program. It is a sLisp script for Setedit (and hence RHIDE) plus a program to look up function prototypes, structure members, etc.
FTE is a portable editor compiled with djgpp under DOS, is available for Linux, X-Windows and OS/2 too.
DFE 95 by Will Weisser is a native win32 IDE for Windows 95. Is available in Simtel too (/v2apps) but 3.4 is only in this link or try this. Free. Sources. The author abandoned the project but Exuviae announced a new GUI called DFE98 (was in http://home.sprintmail.com/~exuviae) or try here, I'm not sure if that's the continuation. Note: the version I downloaed in november 1997 wasn't very stable.
colgcc by Richard Dawe colours the output of gcc to highlight warnings and errors. Useful for command line funs. Now v1.2 available. Sources. GPL.
RSXIDE by Rainer Schnitker is a IDE for Win32 systems. It can be used for RSXNTDJ.
Personally, I like RHIDE and DFE. Haven't done any DJGPP in forever!
I can remember the days building Allegro on my Pentium 75!
Really, RHIDE is comparable to the borland interface, and gcc/g++ will knock the pants off of turboc 3.0's c++ code generation, simply becuase turboc 3.0 is ANCIENT
Not that Turbo C is a bad compiler, it's more of the fact that it is 16bit rather than 32...
They emailed everyone a few months back talking about not running them.
I got a personal email saying they'd cancel my service. They never did...now that Charter has taken the accounts from @ Home, they filter everything...grrrrr
I gave the modem back the other day. Screw them. Slow service, filtered ports?!

SGI licenses OpenGL to anyone, including all of its competitors in the
workstation market. The reasoning goes something like this:
1. SGI builds great workstations, but what really makes them
useful (and thus makes people willing to buy them) is
high-performance full-featured 3D graphics and imaging
applications.
2. Applications developers can't afford to support a large number
of graphics APIs. The development and maintenance costs are
too high, and since feature sets vary from API to API, it's
difficult for an application to take advantage of all the
desirable features of multiple APIs.
3. If a single graphics API is supported on a sufficiently wide
variety of machines (including SGI's), and if that API is fast
and full-featured, then applications developers can
concentrate their limited resources on that API and do a good
job of using it effectively.
4. The result is a larger number of good-quality 3D graphics
applications that are capable of running on SGI hardware.
This makes it easier for SGI to sell workstations. In the
long run it also increases the number of potential SGI
customers by making it easier for applications developers to
create products for new markets.
5. Of course, SGI's competitors that adopt OpenGL also gain
access to a larger pool of 3D applications. However, this
doesn't make a lot of difference to SGI, because we have to
work to remain competitive in any case. It's important to
understand this! *The competition would have become more
intense even if OpenGL didn't exist.* Licensing OpenGL creates
no significant new risks for SGI, but it does create new
opportunities.

Just take the # from a benchmark, and divide it by the price. Then you've got the value you're looking for.

To me, this almost looks like a combination of various old SGI systems.
So THAT makes it COOL.
Although I'm joking, let's just take a look at some numbers, hypothetically speaking.
*borrowed from Tom's Hardware*
Linux Compiling Test
3.35 minutes for a Athlon XP 2000+
14.2 minutes for a Intel Celeron 800mhz
(now, here's where we stretch it)
Figure 1.7 minutes for a dual Athlon XP 2000+, 50% of the other time.
1.7 x 8 = 13.6 minutes
But, who really compiles with a cluster, really?
It'd still be faster....At least on a few benchmarks, and at least in theory
So, it's about equal to my dual Athlon 2000+?
It'd make a good linux b0x3n for the cheap.
That would create a huge market for linux based support and software. And...they don't even have to buy a thing.
A huge market where nothing gets bought?
Uh....okay
Gig ethernet * 30 million users - 300baud

I thought they bought or at least licensed a bunch of SGI stuff back when they started up on DirectX/Direct3D....
:)
Remember the rumours that SGI was going to be bought out by MS?
SGI was supposed to move to all NT workstations
You CAN run SMTP, POP3, HTTPD, DNS etc etc all one box, but that doesn't mean you should!
DB server
Mail server
DHCP, NAT server
Firewall
File Server
HTTP server
Its alot easier on your users when ONE machine is down, instead of all 5 or 10.
The old consulting company had everything loaded on one box, so when one thing had to be updated, changed, or restarted, it fucked everything else up.
Now, if the accounting software company shows up in the middle of the day, wanting to install an update, we don't have to knock mail etc offline also.
