I made a series of patches to make a range of free IDEs ready for Bennu.
The installation is as follows:
1) Install the IDE.
2) Unzip the patch archive to the folder of the IDE. For some IDEs more actions are required, which are listed below.
3) Place the Bennu executables and their DLLs in the folder “C:\Bennu\Bin\" (you can alter this after the install).
All patches provide syntax highlighting, compile and run hotkeys, output capturer. Some also contain basic templates of programs (in the style of "Hello World." and/or shortcuts to insert code templates.
IDEs:
Crimson Publishing (
http://www.crimsoneditor.com/)
- Excellent editor, with a column edit mode like UltraEdit.
- Syntax highlighting
- Template "hello world"

Ctrl+F2 = Run
