no ide? Let's make one!

Works great for me, nice job. I can't get gedit to autodetect *.s files though - I made sure to change *.asm to *.s in the .lang file's header. I even restarted my Linux box... do I have to clear gtksourceview's cache or something?

[scgtrp]

You do have to restart gedit, but not Linux itself. If you run gedit from a terminal do you get any warnings/errors printed?

[NickJohnson]

That's odd - now it works for me. I bet it was some sort of caching thing .

[scgtrp]

It's only cached until you close gedit. Probably something else happened that you didn't notice.

Have a new version. This one highlights NASM's pseudoinstructions (db etc., resb etc.) as instructions.

It's been propose a few times that someone should create an IDE just for OSDev'ing. But what would it feature that IDE's now don't offer?

And if you say kernel development, I spent very little time in actual kernel code (I'm developing a microkernel)..

I use CodeLite and i think is one of the best since it supports custom makefiles... No debugging either....

[xvedejas]

I use Geany plus a bash script that does all the compiling / assembling / linking for me.

I am also developing an IDE. It will accept XML files to describe syntax highlighting and one of the key features will also be auto word suggestion. Compilation and such will be done by a third party application such as NASM so my application is really to make it all seem a lot smoother and provide a nice text editor.

OP: Good luck with your project.
