[gobo-eiffel-develop] EDP -- The Eiffel Developer's Project

[Howard T. <how...@di...>]

Hi all,

I have made a download available of the current state of my Eiffel IDE 
project, as a tar.bz2 archive of the source code of my development tree.

I have also provided executables for Linux and Windows, both 32-bit.

The 64-bit executable for Linux now works when compiled by edp+gcc, and the 
32-bit Linux code can also be compiled by EiffelStudio, or at least I have 
successfully done so once.

It is very much alpha status, and is certainly not yet a replacement for 
anything else, although I am starting to find it useful in it's code-browsing 
usage, with feedback about which classes within a class universe are part of 
the current system.

The WIN32 version compiles and links, albeit not yet using geant for the 
complete process. Although the SmartEiffel compiled version ran, I have made 
some major API changes since then between the Eiffel code and the supporting 
WIN32 glue code, so the current code may not.

When renamed as 'gec', the edp executable performs as 'gec' and is the version 
of 'gec' that I use to generate both Linux and Win32 C files for further 
processing. I may well need to provide a bootstrap process to simplify 
startup for working with the EDP project code.

The supplied directories 'edp' and 'tool' are intended to be located as 
subdirectories of $GOBO, with 'tool' provided primarily to show that some of 
the entries are symlinks into 'edp/tool/' and 'edp/library' containing 
modified classes needed for the adapted 'gec' functionality.

Note that the Eiffel code links directly with libX11 and libgdi32 and is 
therefore independent of any C/C++ GUI code on either platform, and that was 
one of my primary aims when starting out on this project.

The (minimal !) website is at http://ashford-ht.vm.bytemark.co.uk

Comments and criticism welcome ...

Regards,

Howard Thomson
