To build: run pkgman install devel:libpcre unittest++_devel and then run ./buildsuite.sh 1

  • More run options for projects

  • Explicit support for debugging with gdb under Haiku

  • Bundled helper tools

Some Very Useful Features

Dealing with Errors

While warnings will not stop Paladin from continuing to build a project, if an error occurs, Paladin will stop the build so that the errors can be corrected. Errors are listed in pink; warnings are listed in yellow. Double-clicking on an error or warning will open up the file containing it in the editor. The Copy to Clipboard button will copy all visible errors and/or warnings to the system clipboard for pasting into other documents.

Backing Up Projects

Your project can be quickly placed into a compressed archive in a folder of your choosing with your project's name and timestamp for the backup with just a click of this menu item.

Helper Tools

Developers seem to need a wide variety of tools when writing code. Paladin includes a few small accessories to complement the main development environment. An ASCII table, Regular expression tester, Symbol finder and a tool to easily choose a license for your project can be accessed from the Tools menu.
