IDE

[Ezbez]

My team is currently using MPLab, but we are not happy with it. We'd love to use another IDE, but I haven't yet found any information on how to use other IDEs. In particular, we would like to use Visual Studios. Code::Blocks or something like that would be fine, too. Where can I find information on using these or other IDEs with MPLab's compiler?

Visual Studio is pretty much out of the question, by most accounts.

Eclipse has several threads (and I'll help you with it).

Most of the other IDEs have threads somewhere, IIRC.

Thanks for the reply. If Visual Studios is out of the question (I find it odd that it's on this poll if it can't be used), then Code::Blocks would probably be our next choice. We've got rather slow computers, so running Eclipse might be rather demanding for them (TBH, Visual Studios probably would have been, too). I found some information on Code::Block on this forum, but the link to the makefile that the thread used was dead. If I could get some help setting up Code::Blocks, that would be great. I really don't have a clue on where to begin (I have no experience with makefiles, or anything else related to this subject).
