- CodeWarrior
-
- Code Warrior now has support for external editors. Alpha's support is
- implemented entirely in Tcl, Alpha's macro language. The source can be
- found in :Tcl:SystemCode:codeWarrior.tcl.
-
- Alpha/CodeWarrior interaction does not need any setup. By default, windows
- with any C or C++ suffixes will open with CodeWarrior and ThinkReference
- menus. Any other menus (for instance, Symantec menus, can be removed via
- the "Config:Current Mode:Menus" menu item). The CodeWarrior menu is
- explained below:
-
- NEW!
- In CW 10, Metrowerks will finally support the notion of an "External
- Editor". To use Alpha as such:
- 1) Create a folder called "(Helper Apps)" (everything inside the double
- quotes) in the same directory as the IDE.
- 2) Place an alias to Alpha in the "Helper Apps" folder. Call this alias
- "External Editor".
- 3) Check the "External Editor" flag in the Metrowerks preferences dialog.
-
- In CW10, this interface slows builds down a bit, because the IDE asks
- the editor about each file. However, this will be sped up considerably in
- CW 11 and beyond.
