I've uploaded a modifed IDE onto my personal server for now, until I get some feedback on its quality.
You can download the IDE zip file, which includes a pre-compiled version (ide.exe).
The main change is a new configuration option in which you can tell the IDE where Euphoria is located. This is meant to be a path to a folder than contains a sub-folder called "bin" which in turn contains the Euphoria executable. If the IDE finds "bin\exwc.exe" it assumes you are going to use Eu3, and if it finds "bin\eui.exe" it assumes you are going to use Eu4 or later.
If it finds neither, it will display a message saying so.
Note to translators: the text of messages 12 and 13 have changed.
This is really my first look at changing any of the IDE code and I can see now that really does need a good "spring clean".
Also, if anyone knows of specific bugs, please let me know of them.
Thanks Derek. I loaded EuIDE as normal and the executable runs like lightning - as expected - but it says it can't find a version of Euphoria. It points to C:\Euphoria\bin in the modified options, which is where it is, so what have I done wrong? I just installed Eu4 from the install file, so I assumed it created anything I needed. Curiously the previous version of IDE ran, and ran code, so what is going on? Any ideas.
On a positive note, I use Euphoria because it is a superb language but also because of this forum; you guys are all so helpful and knowledgeable.... (flattery should get me anywhere, they say).
Read again what I've said above, particularly "This is meant to be a path to a folder than contains a sub-folder called "bin" which in turn contains the Euphoria executable".
Set the "Location of Euphoria" to C:\Euphoria and see if that makes a difference.
