RHIDE (short for Robert's Hierarchical Integrated Development Environment) is a free integrated development environment (IDE) for programming in C, C++ and Pascal under DOS and Linux.[1] It was developed in the 1990s by Robert Hoehne and is primarily intended to work with the DJGPP compiler suite for DOS.

The environment is text-based and strongly resembles the interface of Borland IDEs such as Turbo C++ 3.1. RHIDE uses the SETEDIT text editor and the Turbo Vision user interface library.

Features

[edit]
  • Support for C, C++, and Pascal programming;
  • Integration with the DJGPP port of the GCC compiler;
  • Built-in debugger;
  • Syntax highlighting;
  • Configurable user interface and build options;
  • Interface modeled after Borland's Turbo Vision system.

Technical details

[edit]

RHIDE is built on top of the SETEDIT editor and works primarily in a text-mode interface. It is designed for use on IBM PC-compatible systems and supports both DOS (via DJGPP) and Linux environments.

Status

[edit]

Development of RHIDE has been inactive since the early 2000s, but the environment remains popular among enthusiasts of retro software development, particularly for DOS applications.
