Using the compiler/linker _without_ the IDE

[bitboy]

I want to be able to manage and build my projects without having to use the built in IDE. That is, I would like to just be able to use make(gnu, borland, or other) or perhaps jam.

I personally hate having to deal with a different editor, with different commands, keymaps, shortcuts, et. al., everytime I need to switch platforms. Be it a windows/linux gui app., a PIC project, or a Freescale project. So I just want to be able to use my old trusty vim and ctags and compile from the comand line.

There was some docuemntation on using 3rd party editors with 3.1, but it was highly lacking.

Hi:

There is the possibility of using the command line version of the compiler maker and linker. As default, these are Windows aplications. But you can use the piper.exe program in the /prog folder to call the other ones (linker.exe , chs08.exe, etc) in command line mode. What you need is to determine what are the format (input files, output, options, etc) to run the applications.

I know that this doesn't have too much detail, as I haven't done it myself due to lack of time, but if you have the time to explore this possibility, I would like much to see your results.

Regards,

Alex

Hello,

I had to adapt special code to c, compile , link and program the HCS12.

I think it's better for me to do it in my own program and call maker and linker in command line.

if you have soluce to help me to use piper.exe ...

I'm very interested.

Regards,
