#162227 - IDEs
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I have given a glance at the help file.

It will certainly take much more than just a glance...

;-)

-> In which I.D.E. i should write the programs.

Whichever one you prefer!

You don't actually have to use any IDE at all!

-> Do i need to use command prompt for writing, compiling and debugging my c programs?

You don't have to - but you can if you like.

-> lastly, are there any compilers in which the steps for compiling, are similar as that of Keil's?

The steps for Keil are no different from any other compiler:

1. You write your code using a text editor;

2. You build your code using compiler, assembler, linker, etc;

3. You go back to your editor to fix any build errors;

4. You load your built code into your target;

5. You debug your code.

Keil happen to provide their uVision IDE that brings all these operations & tools "under one roof" - other IDEs are available, or you can just do without an IDE...

Many programmers editors have the facility to interface to external tools - such as compilers, etc - so that you can build your own IDE:

eg, the Tasking IDE is built on CodeWright;

uVision can be configured to use external tools...

MS Visual Studio (including the free ones) can be configured to use external tools...

If you're feeling really adventurous, you could try to build yourself an Eclipse-based IDE that uses SDCC (or maybe someone already has?)
