Hello everyone. Are there any C++ IDEs for DSL? Or at least something that can send source code straight to G++ with the right parameters to produce executable code? I'm trying to resurrect the oldest computer I have. It's processor is some kind of x86 running at barely 600Mhz, with 128MB RAM (which I added) and a 5.5 inch floppy drive! It's currently running Windows 3.1 I don't how it got on there, I didn't install it. All I know is that this thing is an antique, perfect for writing really cool console games since most consoles out now aren't much better then this thing. In fact, I've always wanted to make my own games console and that's what I'll use it for. I just need to get an IDE and the SDL development libraries. Anyone think they can help me?

Why an IDE? I mean, why not just use any text editor, like nano?

For the parameters, pretty much only -o is needed, to name the output file.
Aren't SDL libs and headers already in DSL? I might be wrong on the headers though..

No, SDL development libraries are not available in DSL. The SDL runtime is (as an extension) but the dev files are not. Also, I'm not that experienced with programming. I want to use syntax high lighting and a "Build" button. Also, when writing a whole game, with several thousand lines of code, development without some kind of IDE is unthinkable.

Well, most modern text editors can have syntax highlighting, customizable keyboard buttons, etc.

Now I don't think there are any IDE extensions in mydsl yet but you could be the first to make one ;)
