You could try using SETEdit (the editor used in RHIDE), you'll still 
need Makefiles, but you can debug from the editor.

Right. You have to build them.
I only make Debian packages, some contributors do RPMs for Mandriva and 
other OSs.

RHIDE is a nice IDE but:

1) Most people moved to GUI interfaces. So TUI programs lost their main 
advantage.
2) Most people is using multi-core, many GHz, many GB PCs. So light and 
fast programs also lost their main advantage.
3) The debug approach used by RHIDE (GDB embedded) is quite hard to 
maintain, the most common approach (GDB outside, like in SETEdit) is 
much easier to maintain.  The embedded aproach is good only for DOS.
4) Robert Höhne, the author, didn't have time to maintain it (for a 
looong time now).
5) I moved to fully use Linux and I don't have any Windows at hand (for 
a looong time now), so I don't need an IDE with GDB embedded.

I maintain TV and SETEdit, but don't have time and motivation to keep 
RHIDE in good shape. The GDB stuff is the most complex part to maintain.

Regards, SET
