What is an IDE?
• The IDE consists of tools that are used throughout the software development process.
Project Manager
Compiler
Editor
Assembler
Search engine
Linker
Source code browser
Debugger
GUI designer
• The tools are integrated fully and seamlessly.
• A single environment is provided for software development.
-- consistent operation
-- move among all the tools freely
-- a non-modal design

IDE Components
• Project Manager - scalable and unbounded
• Source code editor - any supported language
• Search engine - any text file or group of files
• Source browser - any supported language
• Build system - plug-in compilers, assemblers, linkers
• Debugger - any supported language and target
-- Displays source, machine code disassembly, or both
• Designer - graphical interface layout
CodeWarrior Host Environments
• CodeWarrior runs on the following operating systems:
Windows 95/98, NT
Solaris
Mac OS
Linux
• The user interface operates identically on all hosts.
• Project files and source files operate on all hosts.
• Some project data is not transferable.
-- precompiled headers
-- compiled data such as object code, debug information, browser information

What Is a Target?
• A platform target is the chip or operating system selected for development.
-- processor examples are PowerPC, MIPS, x86, and 68K
-- operating system examples are Windows, Mac OS, Neutrino
• A build target is a file, library, or build option for a program.
-- build target examples are debug, release, optimize
• A build target is analogous to a makefile.
Target Settings
• Target settings are the options
used to control a build.
• Each build target has its own
settings.
• Example settings are --- platform targets
-- compiler options
-- language options
IDE Preferences
• IDE preferences are global
settings.
• They affect all projects/builds.
• They are primarily Editor and
Debugger preferences.
• Example preferences are --- syntax coloring in editor
-- debugger display options

Tutorial Completion
• The CodeWarrior IDE -– runs on most desktop platforms
– provides extensive support for the C, C++, and Java programming languages
– combines all development tools into an integrated environment
– manages and stores the compiler, linker, and build settings—similar to an automatic
makefile
• The IDE can build executable code for -– most desktop OSs, such as Windows, Mac OS, and Solaris
– many embedded processors and certain RTOSs
