Been using Alchemy on a project; been recompiling the C code by right-clicking on a .BAT in the "Project" tree and selecting "Execute". It gets the job done but would love for tighter integration. Some suggestions for tighter integration
Alchemy 1. Remove need of batch file by having FlashDevelop make proper calls. A sample batch file today is something like:
Code:
@echo off
set OLD_PATH=%PATH%
set PATH=%ALCHEMY_PATH%\achacks;%ALCHEMY_PATH%\bin;%PATH%
set CURDIR=%CD%
set COMPILE_SH=/cygdrive/%CD:~0,1%/%CD:~3%
bash --login -o igncr %COMPILE_SH%/compile.sh
set PATH=%OLD_PATH%
EXIT /B 0
Alchemy 2. Display bugs in output window. Currently I need to pull up in notepad an error file that is generated.
Alchemy 3. Syntax highlighting for .cpp/.h code. (Alternatively I could just use VS.NET for editing code, but if FlashDevelop did this, I'd have no need to install another IDE on my WinXP bootcamp partition.)
