Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

GCC integration

Post by Tenaja »

Wish...GCC integration, or any other third party compiler.

Many of us use third party libraries. If we could compile these files into libraries from within PB, the ease of use and capability would be much greater. If notepad++ can do it, it can't be too much of a stretch for PB to do it.

Thanks.

You can provide your own extensions with the SDK?

Of course, files can be sent to a compiler with a plug in. In fact, there are very few IDE Requests that cannot be done by the requester.

The point to this one, and many others I'm sure, is to stimulate discussion and thought.

OTOH, PB's IDE does not include any of the Scintilla lexers, so C files are treated as text, and it is very possible that is something not easily fixed with a plugin. It is, however, fixed in the original code without "days" of coding.
