Title: Feature Request
Post by: andydansby on November 01, 2020, 06:50:27 pm

Hello:
I have just started working with Code:Blocks and am pleasantly surprised with the IDE so far and plan on using the IDE for C programming for embedded systems.

I have noticed that there is support for Small Device C compiler (SDCC), however I would like to request support for Z88dk (https://z88dk.org (https://z88dk.org)).  The compilers are similar in the aspect for compiling for embedded systems.  Z88dk is aimed at Z80 target systems and is popular for targeting a number of retro computers.

Thanks

The compilers are defined in xml files, mostly. So it is relatively easy to setup new one.
The probability of a developer adding a compile he/she doesn't use is very low.
And the compilers we have already I guess cover what most developers use these days.
