Linux IDE

I changed completely from Windows to Linux Mint(home)/Ubuntu(work) some times ago.
Until now i use the simple Texteditor shipped with the mentioned Linux Distributions for creating private and company intern Hollywood-Projects.

I coded a small Hollywood-Tool "OnSaveRunInterpreter" which monitors the Hollywood-Sourcecode-File and execute the Hollywood-Interpreter when pressing Save on the Texteditor (Timestamp of File is trigger). I know this is a dirty hack and sometimes cause Problems with my Network-Mounts.

So it would be a nice Gift if sometimes the nice Hollywood-IDE-Editor sees the light on Linux.

From what i remeber some talk long ago. Ide is very difficult to be cross compiled

Currently best "alternatives" are SciTe and/or VIM which has some suuport(mainly color syntax)

Try SciTE, I think it is really a good way to develop with Hollywood on Linux because Hollywood can be started directly from SciTE and online help is supported. Not much missing in comparison to the Windows IDE.

Thanks for your answers, but SciTE is a commercial Product on Subscription.
