Quincy 2000
-------------------------------------
Quincy 2000 is a Windows 9x, ME, XP and NT hosted Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) front end for C/C++ compilers.
I originally developed the ancestors of Quincy 2000 to accompany a C++ tutorial book
and as a project for the C Programming Column of Dr. Dobb's Journal. Quincies 96 and
97 supported development of Win32 console applications only. Quincies 99 and 2000
support development of Win32 console and GUI applications.
The Compilers
-------------
As currently configured, Quincy 2000 works with the gcc Mingw32 2.95.2 C/C++
compiler suite and the Borland C/C++ command line compilers version 5.5.
Mingw32 (Minimalist GNU for Windows 32) is a version of the GNU gcc C/C++
compiler that uses the Win32 runtime DLLs.
See http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ for details.
The Borland compiler is free, too. See
http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/ for details
The INSTALL file explains where to get the compiler files and how to install
them so that they work with Quincy 2000.
The Tools
---------
Quincy 2000 uses a grep program that I downloaded and modified slightly to make it work
as a program launched from the IDE.
Quincy 2000 with gnu-mingw32 uses the resource compiler and editor tools that accompany
the LCC-Win32 C compiler suite, which you will find at http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/.
The Borland compiler includes a resource compiler, but you can still use the LCC
resource editor tool.
The install.txt file explains where to get the tool files and how to install
them so they work with Quincy 2000.
Source Code
-----------
The source code for the Quincy 2000 IDE and the grep tool are available in the
quincy2000src.zip file in the ftp directory where you found this file.
Quincy 2000 is a C++ MFC application compiled with MS Visual Studio 6.0.
The grep program's source code is organized into a Quincy 2000 project.
The source code for the gnu-mingw32 C/C++ compilers and the resource compiler
and editor tools are available from the sites where you download them. The Borland
compiler source code has not been released.
Bug Reporting
--------------
Please install and use Quincy 2000 and report bugs to me at astevens@ddj.com.
You can send your comments and criticisms to that address as well. I might
ask you to send some source code so that I can reproduce a bug. Please do not send
source code, data files, or screen shots unless I ask for them.
Please include the following information with all bug reports:
1. The steps required to reproduce the bug. Please be specific.
2. The symptom that the bug exhibits. Once again be specific.
3. The build number from the Help/About dialog.
4. The compiler name and version number from the Help/About dialog.
5. If you get an error dialog, include the text from the dialog. Some diagnostic dialogs
include a lot of text. Just copy the first line or two. If I need more, I'll ask
for it.
6. A reliable way I can reach you via email.
NOTE: If you ignore my requests for this information and just tell me something like,
"Quincy blows up when I do so-and-so," chances are I'll ignore your report. Sorry.
Known Problems
--------------
1. Cannot watch or examine a function pointer; Quincy always reports ??.
2. The help database is still way out of date. I doubt that I'll get to it anytime soon.
