I have been incredibly busy with work past few months so I have not have had much free time to spare... But hopefully things will quiet down soon enough and I can resume work on the project :)
I myself use code::blocks IDE. get, compile and install latest wxWidgets then get and compile CodeBlocks IDE. Then open fbide inside it. You will need to set few global variables, but it should be simple enough. And then you good to go.
I don't remember if I mentioned this, and someone else might have, but three things:
* FBIde basically hangs on the second time it asks me to pick a command from a disambiguation screen (EG: PUT) !!!this is a MUST FIX!!!
* It would be nice to be able to set up settings via comments in the bas file.
* Together with the previous thing, I'd love to be able to set a switch (in the comments too) that will set the path to either local, opened-from, or compiler path for each opened file. (Included files should be by default compiler-path unless they're in the same directory or a child directory of the main file)
Basically this shows how you can do some crazy views with several open documents. But also is that any current document (file) can be split into multiple synchronous views. For example you keep an eye on some part of the document (for lookup) while editing something somewhere else. Fbide is going to support upto 4 simultaneous views.
