This deals with SciTE and the go language in Windows (in particular, Windows 7). This is my first time using SciTE, so if there is another way to achieve my goal that is fine as well.
Goal: With one key press, compile, link, and execute the newly created binary.
I want to setup the compile/link/excecute under the "go" command in SciTE. This may be slightly confusing as it is also for the go language. Here is what I have so far:
command.compile.*.go=8g $(FileNameExt)
command.build.*.go=8l -o $(FileName).exe $(FileName).8
command.go.*.go=$(FileName).exe
What I would like is to have something like:
command.go.*.go=\
8g $(FileNamExt)\
8l -o $(FileName).exe $(FileName).8\
$(FileName).exe
If this worked the way I intended it would compile the file, link it, and then run the executable. What happens is:
8g hello.go8l -o hello.exe hello.8hello.exe
When it should be:
8g hello.go
8l -o hello.exe hello.8
hello.exe
Where each line is executed.
Write a batch script like so:
@echo off
if (%1 == "") (goto end)
set gofile=%1%
shift
8g %gofile%.go
8l -o %gofile%.exe %gofile%.8
%gofile%.exe
:end
The batch file can be anywhere, but let's say it's in 'C:\one\two\three\GO.bat' sans the quotes. In the SciTE property file change:
command.go.*.go=$(FileName).exe
to
command.go.*.go=C:\one\two\three\GO.bat $(FileName)
And when you hit F5 or click on "Go", it will compile, link, and execute the file.
