Title: Octave
Post by: ct2034 on March 09, 2014, 11:50:09 pm

Hi guys.

I am interested in using octave (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Octave (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Octave)) with codeblocks.
It seems to be supported: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Languages_supported_by_Code::Blocks_lexers (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Languages_supported_by_Code::Blocks_lexers)
I actually have installed octave on my Ubuntu system. Codeblocks was installed later so it should have found it automatically.
Is there a way to add it manually?
Funny effects you

have

here ^^

Thanks :)

The support is limited to the lexer, only. So you'll get syntax highlighting and thats it. It should work out-of-the-box if you have the lexer installed.

For interpreted languages, I use the file manager plugin (files tab of the management pane) to manage the files I am working on and assign some launchers in the tools (or tools+) menu so you can run your programs. You can also set up project files if you want to -- Code::Blocks project management is geared around compiled languages but with a little work you can get it to work with interpreted languages too (define a "commands only" target and use it to launch your main program). But you won't get code completion, symbol browsing or debugging support.
