Custom 68K IDE for Macintosh apps with CodeLite, Retro68 and pce-macplus

[mdanh2002]

Hi,

With some time recently, I explored how the PCE/macplus emulator https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/pce_macplus can be used with CodeLite and Retro68 (https://github.com/autc04/Retro68) to form a very good development environment for 68k Mac apps. I have written an article here http://www.toughdev.com/content/201...odelite-ide-retro68-and-pce-macplus-emulator/ that explains how CodeLite can be setup exactly for this purpose. Mac apps can be run on various emulators on different Macintosh System software just by changing the project configuration dropdown. Autocomplete is supported as well. CodeLite can also be configured to tail the serial port output file and this can used for debugging purposes.

The article also contains links to download the VirtualBox image with everything set up and ready for you to try out. This is a YouTube video that shows how everything can work together nicely:

Let me know what you think.

The video severely lacks an audio track explaining what you are trying to show. It is more a show-case of "look how great it works" rather than an introduction into "this is how things work together, and this is what the setup is capable of".

On the other hand, I have never done Mac development and probably never will, so don't take my opinion at face value.

The video is just meant to show how the setup looks like. Read the blog post to understand how things work together and how to make full use of the setup.

Exactly. That's what I was complaining about.
