[Questions] TIGCC usage in C::B?

Hi folks!
I'd like to know if Code::Blocks can use TIGCC fully?

I've written to Kevin Kofler and he said some stuffs like :

--- Quote from: Kevin Kofler ---it misses important
features like support for TIGCCLIB and ld-tigcc options
--- End quote ---


--- Quote from: Kevin Kofler ---No way. I'd have to implement all the TIGCC-specific features in a fork or
plugin of Code::Blocks, it wouldn't be any less work than working on a better
IDE, it would just give a worse result.
--- End quote ---

So my questions are :
Can we add the TIGCC compiler as is? If so how to?
Or does TIGCC need to have a plugin written to work with C::B?

It should be possible to get the compiler to work assuming it is C or C++. But, it may not be possible to get the debugger to work without a lot of work.

I am willing to look at this if you are willing to test it. Note, to test you will have to be able to compile Code::Blocks from SVN.

If you wish to work on it, post links to the needed TI-GCC files/pages and to sample code I can compile for testing.

I am willing to test but not before 6 June (end of exams), I've got a Ti and compile C::B from SVN.

Sorry but I don't feel I have the skills necessary to work on it (I'm still learning, and I'm not yet in university) but I can test.

For the debugger, why not look at the TIGCC IDE sources? (but of course we'll need to ask Kevin Kofler's permission). Of course it's still a lot of work.

OK, I have looked at it already some. It looks like simple enough compiler(a subset of GCC), but the linker section looks very different.

Adding an debugger to Code::Blocks is beyond my ability.

Does it make sense to do this if Code::Blocks can NOT debug the code or run the code in the emulator?

Adding a debugger to C::B? You mean you wanna run the Ti89 application in C::B?
I think that this solution would be too complicated.
Isn't it possible to integrate in the TIGCC plugin a function that allow to send the Ti89 applications to tiemu then launch tiemu (tiemu has a debugger for Ti89)?
