Developer's Corner / Re: SkyIDE - Latest Release Information

« Last post by mahesh2k on September 09, 2007, 09:51 AM »

I don't know making opensource is good idea but atleat so many people will learn from it.I do have better ideas for the skyIDE to proceed if you want i can suggest.


Plugin concept :
simmilar to devpaks in devcpp.skyIDE can include c++ or java compilers so that pluging in will make it standalone for developement.maybe mingw can be shiiped like that pugin pack and can be used like devcpp,what u think?


i have more other concepts but i dont know they are worthy?

That's nice idea.I might have tried it but i don't know about pre-compiled files & IDE detection. By the way are you refering to this RUIsoftware component?

http://ruisoftware.com/rsComponents.exe

its awesome i wish someone can create the same for delphi-sci interface component.Nice idea though,arun.No doubt this nice tool will help many borland IDE users.

Companies like :

Norton Antivirus
Quickheal
MS
Srilippi
Tally

Are sending thier full products in market to let user evaluate then once they get enough userbase they start doing rade on user ocmputers and ask for license payment & claim as they are not registered.This is trick to promote product.But For MS it is not working as very few people are upgrading to Vista in asia.Even MS sending their full iso for vista people can't handle vista on their low end machine.

Delphi and C++ Builder / Re: Installation & adding component on C++ builder or delphi?

« Last post by mahesh2k on August 21, 2007, 09:56 AM »

For installing Delphi scintilla component I've used the following steps.

1. Copied SciLexer.DLL & pasted into windows/system32 directory.
2. Open the Install text file from Delphisci-0.23 folder & follow the instruction shown Below:


DELPHI 7 (In the D7 Packages directory)

Open DelphiSciD7.BPG, and select BUILD ALL or

Open Scit.DPK. If a messagebox about TTcFontComboBox not existing appears,
just click cancel. BUILD the package.

Open DScit.DPK, and BUILD it.

/// The packages below requires that your version of Delphi has the
/// Borland Database components (it doesn't exist in the Personal version I think)

Open ScitDB.DPK. BUILD the package.
Open DScitDB.DPK, and BUILD it.

Here you can also build the source by hitting compile & install buttons.Once it was done i Restart the delphi & Now go to Component menu>install packages and click on check box named as "Build with Runtime packages".After that you can see the scintilla component menu.If you keep uncheck this option you will get error as

[Fatal Error] scedit.pas(7):File not Found:Scilexer.dcu

Now you can drop scintilla on your form & fit F9 to test it.It should be showing you the result.

Problems:

Here your form should suppose to count the number of line & give syntax highlight color by default to some set value but it's not showing .What to do? Is there any code to add or options to set in Scintilla to select perticular languge or enable syntax colouring etc?

Can anyone come up any example with delphi 7 for scintilla.

The Method you've explained is not working with Borland C++ Builder 6 Professional.It returns following three errors when you try to compile it.I've followed the same method you said.

1. Go to delphisci-0.23/C6 Packages
2. Double click on scit.bpk
3. On the window labelled "package" - the one that appears on the middle of the screen, press Compile,
At this step it returns the  following errors

Errors:
[Pascal Fatal Error] Unable to build.License is invalid or has expire.
[Pascal Fatal Error] bad file format: 'd\program files\borland\c builder6\lib\obj\designide.dcp
[linker Fatal Error] fatal :Unable to open file"SCIT.BPI"

if you try to do it then it says Unable to find package "scit.bpi".it open the package import dialog box.

I think i've achieved the component installation with Delphi.But i'm missing slightly about the output.But the component is not at all installed in C++ buidelr 2006.

Also is there any alternative for Syntax highlightcomponent & line numbering component? Please do post link even if component is commercial.Do post if any freeware is there.

Please help.Thanks in advance.

« Last post by mahesh2k on August 21, 2007, 04:33 AM »

Thats good but we need user made customization.So this will not work we need some drag & drop feature in editor like we do in dreamweaver,then realign as per user choice.etc.

Lets discuss this editor once we get final idea someone from us might comeup for the final stuff,This will also give more tips  for using BCB or delphi if IDE is decided or any script is chosen.this is really a donation raising utility

 what u think?

Thanks SkyIDE for the reply.I'll crosscheck the instruction & let you know about it.I have C++ builder professional 6 (at home) & Delphi 7.2 Pro on my friends home. i'll check if it works for that.

BTW Arunpawar you didn't mention your version of BCB/ Delphi which edition you use.This might change the way it implement.

Thanks SKyIDE.

That's great concept you came up with,i would love to see application like this developed.AHK is good point to start with such,cause just work on skeleton of number of design let user add color or images and then publish with rest of PHP queries,this way we can create but let's see who do it?

Developer's Corner / Dev-C++ Discontinued?

« Last post by mahesh2k on August 16, 2007, 02:48 AM »

Dev-C++ one of the best Opensource GPL based IDE,discontinued.Last two years this IDE is not updated & no news of developement.I've asked on comp.lang.c++ group about this i came to know that a new port wxdevcpp is taking over this IDE.Do you have any information about the current developement or work behind devcpp,please post it here.if it is not discontinued please let me know.

So let me tell you about this compiler : Devcpp was only free compiler & It was the only alternatives in the days where proprietory products survived.For newcomers there are very few options available right now,while learning C++.Some of the alternatives are :

1. Turbo Explorer C++,it is free  but contain lot of borland specific functions,so new developers tend to defer from standard specifications like (borland function) conio.h used to pause screen,where u can use system function with cstlib.h.You get addicted to borland specific functions.This make so much diffrence. Also turbo explorer can't let you add third party components & you can't install any other component & another turbo product on same system.

2. Visual C++ express,it is good but it is windows specific,so if you are dual booting between win/linux then your programs are not portable.It's good not to use MS when you have cross-platform plans in mind.

3.Digital mars & Openwatcom are less popular due to complex compiler issues like compiling & debugging.

Dev-C++ was used by many game developers in thier game for back-end design.It is good Compiler.As it uses mingw so you can create proprietory apps with package manager with it,also with devpaks concept you can add pre-compiled library files to your dev-c++ installation.There are many features of dev-c++ but due to lack of developement by author it's lifecycle is over.Dev-c++ was designed in delphi.Source is available on Cd-rom (or even sourceforge maybe).All i want is survival of this small & handy compiler.

Another branch of devcpp is wxdevc++ which focuses on wxwidgets and RAD designer.it is very huge downlaod & not suitable for newcomers  in programming.It is good for wxports developement but it isn't for the newprogrammers.Most of the heavy developement is done in wxdevcpp,and i guess author of devcpp is seeding his efforts on it.

So i have few questions:
1. Is Wxdevcpp a good choice for newcomers in programming?
2.is it worth to download huge program just to learn cpp/c or opengl?

What do you think is it good idea for any delphi user to continue with source of devcpp in the future or let it die.

I'm not clear with the some of the concepts regarding computer such as :
The Processor line i386,i486,i586,i686 etc.What is the meaning of this ?Please somebody brief me.
Also  :
1) Why term " IBM compatible PC " is used in the market? What standards IBM set for the PC ?
2) is it possible to get voltage at the USB port ? that means how USB transfers information in-terms of voltage or light(fiber optic) ? What are the contents inside the USB drive? is USB static or dynamic storage media ?
3) What is the role of RAM for the operating system?

Tried Google/Wikipedia but confused with someterms,so i thought it will be good idea to post here.Post your views
