Information  which are text editors or IDE for IRIX?
Hi, I was wondering if they exist text editors or IDE for IRIX other than Jot or Vi, because I would like to start programming certain things in IRIX or programming the N64 and PSX in IRIX and I want to know what text editors or IDE they recommend for IRIX.

RE: which are text editors or IDE for IRIX?
I've compiled Vim 8.1 for IRIX successfully.

There's also Nedit, which is in the IRIX base install.

RapidApp is the only IDE for IRIX that I know of, but I don't remember where or who has the tarball. It didn't survive our purge.

Eclipse may have a very old version that runs on IRIX, but Java is not fun on IRIX.

Technical problems should be sent my way.

Nedit's your boy, but there is a newer one in nekoware (should be around somewhere ?) or not too hard to build yourself. Nedit is't "just" a text editor, btw -- it can do a lot of 'advanced' stuff.

RapidApp is an interface builder.

An IDE to write and debug code would be SGI Prodev Workshop, though I use it strictly as a debugger.

I guess Emacs and Xemacs qualify, if that's your cup of tea.

For text editing, the newer nedit gets my vote. Simple, supports syntax highlighting and does the job nicely IMO.

Some other options (just to make the running list more complete):

SlickEdit for IRIX.. they still sell their v12/2007 version for IRIX.
User's guide here (note its a 10MB file): https://www.slickedit.com/images/stories..._guide.pdf

There is also an older python IDE called Eric that is part of nekoware.

I'm intrigued! If it exists, I would love to try Eclipse on IRIX! Sadly no luck trying to track any version down. It does sound plausible, considering there were versions for quite a few UNIX variants.

I'm sure it exists, whether or not it would be easy to get running is another thing. I recommend not bothering.
