NAME

theide ‐ A good integrated development environment, designed for developing large C++ applications.

SYNOPSIS

theide
theide assembly package
theide assembly package build_method [-[a] [b] [e] [r] [s] [S] [v] [1] [2] [m] [d] [M] [l] [x] [X]] [+FLAG[,FLAG]...] [ out ]

The first method starts TheIDE with a Package selection dialog, the second method directly opens package from assembly and third one allows you to build or export specified project according to the supplied parameters. The last method does not open TheIde but causes it to work in console mode.

DESCRIPTION

TheIDE is U++ integrated development environment which introduces modular concepts to C++ programming. It features BLITZ-build technology to speedup C++ rebuilds up to 4 times, visual designers for U++ libraries, Topic++ system for documenting code and creating rich text resources for applications (like help and code documentation) and Assist++ ‐ a powerful C++ code analyzer that provides features like code completion, navigation and transformation.

TheIDE integrates with compiler and debugger (by default gcc(1) and gdb(1)) and can also be used to develop non-U++ applications.

OPTIONS

assembly: Selects in which assembly to look for package. It can be a predefined assembly (in .var file) which is in Win32 in directory where is located theide.exe or in POSIX systems in directories ~, ~/.upp/umk, ~/.upp/theide or ~/.upp/theide. Alternatively, it is a direct set of directories that represent U++ assembly separated by ','.
package: Selects which package to use. The package must exist in selected assembly.
build_method: Selects build method to be used to build the resulting executable, specified either as name of build method (which is then searched for in ~, ~/.upp/umk, ~/.upp/theide ~/.upp/theide directories) or it is a direct path to the .bm file.
FLAGs: Specify witch flags should be set up. This works the same way as inside TheIDE. The FLAGs must be separated by commas and prepended with "+" or ">" character. Please note, that ">" has special meaning in most shells and therefore you must either escape it or enclose in quotation marks. If flags are not specified, the first main configuration entry in .upp file is used.

Parameter options must always form single string, e.g. "-arvs". Please note, that some options are mutually exclusive. Don't use them together unless you want to be surprised by the results.

General options:

a: Rebuild all. Cleans caches before doing anything.
b: Use BLITZ.
e: If building fails, stop with message box.
l: Be silent.
v: Be verbose.
m: Create a map file.

Output mode:

r: Release mode.
1: Release mode ‐ optimize for size.
2: Release mode ‐ optimize for speed.

These options are mutually exclusive. If more of them is used then last one is used. If none is used, Debug mode is assumed.

Linking mode:

s: Use shared libraries.
S: Use shared libraries and build as shared libraries.

These options are mutually exclusive. If more of them is used then last one is used. If none is specified, static linking is used.

Exporting:

x: Export files necessary to build project to the directory out
X: Export all files in project to directory out
M: Create makefile in file out
xM,XM: If you mix M with x or X, Makefile is exported to directory out
k: Do not delete target directory out when exporting.

Options x and X are mutually exclusive. The last specified is used.

FILES

~/.upp/theide/*.var

The assembly specifications.

~/.upp/theide/*.bm

The build methods configurations.

~/.upp/theide/theide.cfg

Main configuration file.

~/.upp/theide/ide.colors

Configuration of colors used in TheIDE.

~/.upp/theide/ide.key

Configuration of key bindings in TheIDE.

NOTE:: None of these files is meant to be edited by hand. They can be created and/or modified from within TheIDE. This is strongly recommended since it is easier and safer.

EXAMPLES

theide examples UWord

Opens UWord (an example implementation of text proccesor) in TheIDE.

theide examples AddressBook GCC -vasb +GUI,MT /tmp/ab

Builds application AddressBook with verbose output, using gcc(1) in debug mode, with GUI and multithreading support, links it using shared libraries and places it in /tmp/ab.

theide uppsrc ide -2sx +GUI,MT /tmp/ide

Exports Makefile and all the files needed to build TheIDE itself (with speed optimizations) into the directory /tmp/ide/.
