Another option for a Haiku IDE - "Geany"

Forum thread started by latte on Sat, 2007-09-08 23:31

Hi all -

I saw that there's an IDE coming for Haiku (called GeneStation - interesting name... :-) ).

There's another *excellent* IDE worth looking at for Haiku as well, called Geany - ( http://geany.uvena.de/ ). It is small, fast, very clean layout and *beautifully* designed. Well worth having a look at. I think its license is GPL ( so that may be a problem), but I just thought I'd mention it. Always good to see what's out there.... ;-).

Geany would be nice, but GeneStation uses the Be API, which makes porting it to Haiku a trivial matter. For Geany we would need GTK+ and the entire GNU toolchain. It will come (even I'm hoping for it :)) but I'm sure the team would first like to get the OS working, right?

BTW, Haiku will also need stuff like Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, the GNU toolchain (or something similar), Java ... before we can even *think* of having IDE's. What will you develop with *just* an IDE, eh? ;)
