elj-win32 0.4 Release: The GNU Eiffel win32 Distribution
elj-win32: The GNU Eiffel win32 Distribution 0.4 Release
--------------------------------------------------------
17 Jun 99: The long-awaited 0.4 version of elj-win32 [1] is now
available for download from:
- http://www.*-*-*.com/
The distribution includes:
- the -0.78 (05 Jun 99[2]) release of SmallEiffel [3].
- the 04 Jun 99 release of lcc-win32 [4] (the backend ANSI
C compiler) with IDE (WEDIT) and fully functional Resource
Editor.
- the GRAPE Eiffel win32 GUI library (see the manual - pdf [5]).
- The GOBO[6] and Pylon[7] libraries pre-installed and configured.
- SEEd, a simple and useful SmallEiffel IDE with syntax
highlighting, shift and click feature/class navigation, etc.
- Lots of ``getting started'' material (eg Eiffel Online
Documentation [8]),
http://www.*-*-*.com/
- Plus lots more ..
Installation of the elj-win32 GNU Eiffel win32 compiler is simple
and complete. It installs as per a normal ``Setup'' installation
and you will be running the sample programs shortly after updating
the elj-win32 environment variables on your system.
ftp access will hopefully become available shortly through the
SmallEiffel download network [9].
Thank you to all the beta testers. Please contact me if there are
any problems that I may introduced into the final distribution.
This 0.4 release is a major improvement on the 0.3 release which
is approximately 11 months old (with SE -0.80). Many people have
contributed to making this ``bootstrap'' release possible and I
thank them for their efforts and inspiration.
Finally, I believe that non-trivial Eiffel and Eiffel GUI
applications can be constructed using this open source distribution
and that SmallEiffel adds another important dimension to the Eiffel
world. I hope you find it helpful and useful, and that you might be
able to contribute back to the elj-win32/SmallEiffel projects if
and when you can.
