Trying to use external makefile I build an empty application.
All goes well. Then when restarting TheIDE it fails to find the application in MyApps. If I click new and give it the same name it finds the file. The installed files are there.
Any suggestions?
Duncan

Eh, I didn't try IDEhelp before, so I tried it now.
(both on 602rc and 603beta (BTW, install was without problem))
And I somehow don't get it.
I click with mouse on Assist, Help index..
new window appears with list of several topics.
Now I click on "Using TheIDE as a Cross Development Tool" and nothing happens.
Further:
When I click on other topic, I get into the topic, but the "Go Back" does not do anything, both used with mouse or "Alt+Left".
And one more thing.
I downloaded the "CrossComp$en-gb.tpp" file from here in case I will have more luck than with the IDE help, but I don't know how to open such file!
(edited: ok, after reading some of that help I finally managed to open that .tpp in my own project )
Open file in TheIDE doesn't work on .tpp files and opens them like some source (.txt).
And when I run Topic++, I can't open file trough it too.
Should the TheIDE behave like I described (and I'm just too stupid to use it correctly), or am I running into some bug?
Furthermore... I have seen the "Help index.." just for couple of seconds, and I already really hate this help, looks very unusable to me.
(I'm used to generate my own documentation by doxygen into HTML and view it with firefox ... things like tabbed browsing, search on typing, bookmarks, etc... all those I like to use when I crawl trough any documentation, and that "TheIDE help" window looks very cheap when compared to firefox. Maybe all that stuff is just well hidden, but I'm afraid it's really as lame as it looks)

Duncan: I managed to open even the original file,
now I have empty package with my files included (*.c, *.h, makefile), macro is created and it works.
I would still need to do some work with environment setup to make the gcc find my includes/etc to run the build process correctly...
(I simply copied one library source from my development tree into MyApps directory, and as my development tree has relative paths, I need to change the makefile or copy the whole tree into MyApps).
But generaly speaking it works as expected, thank you very much, the worst part was to open that .tpp file, everything else was easy.
(Actually as I'm using version of some old gcc for the cross platform development (target is motorola m68k/coldfire), I think with a bit of sweat I could set the whole IDE to use that old gcc, and make the package work with it with standart build process maybe.
But I would have to maintain the external makefile anyway to keep my projects accessible to people without Ultimate++.)
I don't have any more time to experiment with it right now, but I'm sure I will get back to it sometimes soon and try to make the whole process usable for development already.
And than finally I will try out the IDE itself for serious work, not just 5minute experiments. Looking forward to it.
