D For XCode Now With DMD Support
Michel Fortin has been maintaining for some time a package that simplifies using GDC with XCode on Mac. Now, in version 1.2, he has finally added support for the DMD compilers, both D1 and D2. From his newsgroup announcement:
It's been a while since DMD has been available on Mac OS X, but I haven't made an official release of D for Xcode to support DMD. Today I'm fixing that.
So D for Xcode 2.1 now supports DMD. It comes with an installer package that does the following:
* Install D plugin for Xcode
* Install Xcode file and project templates for D
* Download and install latest version of DMD 2.x
* Download and install latest version of DMD 1.xThis means that someone can just run the installer and immediately start writing/compiling D code within Xcode. It's using DMD 2.x by default, but there is no problem installing both versions at the same time and changing the default.
You can get more information and see some screenies at the project website. When I eventually do get a Mac, I think this is one of the first packages I'll be installing.
Code Poet
Been a long time since anything new has appeared on the D IDE front. Now, thanks to Jeremie Pelletier, there's Code Poet. It's not ready for prime time yet, but if you are in the market for a D IDE it's certainly something to keep an eye on.
Zeus IDE 3.97
A new version of the Zeus for Windows IDE has been released. Zeus has built-in support for code folding and syntax highlighting D source, and can be configured to compile D apps from within the IDE. Zeus is shareware.
Descent 0.5.5
Ary has announced a new version of the Descent plugin for Eclipse. This release includes, among other things, an enhancement by Robert Fraser which adds file links to console output when using one of the common D build tools. Also, there's a video showing a sneak peek at compile-time debugging, something I assume will be in the next release. Awesome stuff.
SlickEdit 2009 Includes Support for D
SlickEdit is a cross-platform, commerical programming editor. It comes as a standalone app or an Eclipse plugin. It's certainly not cheap. But the reason I'm posting about it here is that the latest version, SlickEdit 2009, includes support for the D Programming Language. If anyone is using it, I'd love to hear about it.
