THE FIRST STEP TO PCYNLITX IDE

The pcynlitx ide is an innovative integrated development environment which can generate build scripts automaticly. More specifically, the ide platform can determine the dependencies of each source file by means of a meta program. Therefore, differently from the existing technologies, on the pcynlitx build system generation, there is no need to specify each file and/or directory dependency and dependency lists are automatically created by the platform. Every components of the pcynlitx project is distributed with opensource software license. 

PCYNLITX BUILD SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY 

In order to constract a C++ build system, the pcynlitx ide needs two different dependency information. The first one is internal dependencies. In fact, the internal dependencies specifies how the source files of the git repository dependent each others. More specifically, it  specifies how the source files of the git repository must be orginized in order to perform a successful compliation. On the other hand, the external dependencies specifies the relation of the other libraries, source files and/or header files rather than the git repository itself.  The dependencies on the inside of the git repository are determined by means of a meta program reads every source file on the git repository line by line. The meta program which reads the source files inside git repository will be explained on the following sections.  The simple illustrations about internal and external dependencies are given below.

INTERNAL DEPENDENCIES

The source files which are parts of the project it seft.

EXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES

External source files

External libraries

External header files

The pcynlitx ide obtains the list of files which exist on the git repository and its relative path  from the git version control system. Therefore, in order to use pcynlitx ide, git version control system must be installed and the current version only support git as a version control system.  

PCYNLITX DESCRIPTION PANEL

You can select the necessary information from the panel as a file and/or directory location ( the full operating system path ). Meanwhile, you can save your preferences. On the otherhand, if you select an already recorded dependency list, the information which has been recorded is automatically printed on the panel.

Software developer can easily record selections with save button. Similary, ever selection can be removed with clear button. 

THE TYPES OF BUILD SYSTEMS TO BE GENERATED

The selection of the build system type

Currently, the pcynlitx ide only supports two types of build system. The first one of them is the classical make file build system. In the classical make file build system construction, the ide builds a chunks of make file in a directory structure with a group of shell scripts. These scripts are onginized based on file dependencies. The other one is the classical CMAKE build system and the ide produces the “CMakeLists.txt” files. Then, the developer can easily generate the necessary CMAKE build system with the help of the configuration files. The developer can select the type of build system from the description panel. This menu is given in below.

PCYNLITX IDE HAS VERY MODERN AND ELEGANT GUI

Start to learn the basics

THE STRUCTURE OF THE PCYNLITX KERNEL

The Pcynlitx IDE has two main part. These are the graphical user interfase ( the GUI ) and the pcynlitx kernel. In fact, in addition to the classical editing operations, the graphical user interface is also responsible from the performing necessary interraction with the user. The gui collects the necessary informations from the user by means of frames and description panels. Then, the kernel, which is in fact an executable binary, receives the information collected by the gui.
