Different IDE
 

Can you program and compile the frc robot code in another IDE except for Windriver, may be like eclipse

Re: Different IDE
 

Windriver is actually a proprietary offshoot of Eclipse. If you switch to Java, Netbeans has all the FRC tools built into the special plugins you install (And if you really want to you can probably finagle a workspace in Eclipse to give proper compile errors for Java ME + WPILib java code until you want to deploy.)

I currently use my text editor of choice (I'm partial to TextMate but Chocolat is starting to replace it) and a UCPP make file. I then simply ftp the code to the robot.

So, yes, you can. It just requires a little more set up time. I'm currently looking into using the alternative toolchain that uses GCC and DOESN'T require me to have Wine installed. If I can get that working it'll be the last step before I can dump the build process off to a remote machine that pulls from a git repo.

I've gotten building and uploading working in Sublime Text 2. I've actually made a little build script that relies on UCPP. Here it is, try it out. It might do what you want.

Check out this thread: Universal C++ Project - C++ programming for Linux, and more.

Team 980 is using the environment developed by nikitakit. Loading code is much faster than in WindRiver's environment.
