Adding new Compiler support

[jayatk]

Okay, I've unsuccessfully tried to add another compiler to C::B :?

I couldn't find a way to create a new compiler, so I tried to copy off another compiler.  That was a mistake, because it keeps calling the copied compiler's make.exe.  The compiler I'm using (GreenHills Multi C/C++) doesn't use a make.exe, it uses a build.exe file.  I tried to redefine $make to equal build, but that didn't work.

So, got any suggestions?  Do I have to create my own plugin for my compiler?  Also, is there a way I can make the debug command pull up my compiler's debugger?

Thanks for any help!

aren't the settings in
Settings->Compiler and debugger->"your compiler"->Programs->Program Files
tab not enough ???

I found what I missed.  Somehow I missed the "make" part, I had changed everything else.  User Error. I need more sleep I think.

Thanks.

But... where is ranlib configured?

Hi,
I want to make a support for TASM maybe you think it's an old asm compiler but we are using it for practice purposes on Technical University of Lodz. I thought I could show C::B to my friends, they're are very angry that there's no good ide for TASM and I thought I could prepare C::B.
I read the article about G77 Fortran Compiler but I want to make different compiler options like those in gcc and VC++, TASM has different options as you can imagine. What files I should edit to make it all wor without?

If you want to make something that is substantially different, then you will have to modify/rewrite the compilergcc plugin (look inside src/plugins/compilergcc), but that will be a nightmare to implement.

I would suggest you wait until Ephialtes is out instead.

It must gonna be a long wait. After 10 pages of google the
closest I could come to Ephialtes is

Ephialtes, one of the giants who revolted against Zeus and threatened to storm heaven; he appears to have been maimed by Apollo and Hercules. ...

Interestingly, the wiki page http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Roadmap_for_version_1.0 is not linked to from any of the normal pages; one would only find it in one of the special wiki pages.

Hopefully not...

Ephialtes, one of the giants who revolted against Zeus and threatened to storm heaven; he appears to have been maimed by Apollo and Hercules. ...

The name refers to the historical person, not the mythological one

Interesting. Mind enlightining us on who he was? Or maybe this is it.
