Why cm3ide must know what my browser is?

Constantly asked me this question, there is no way to skip.

What program should CM3-IDE use for your web browser?

As I'm on the MSYS2 shell, I have no idea what I should type in. My system wide browser is Firefox, I tried both firefox and firefox.exe but doesn't get accepted.

What program should CM3-IDE use for your web browser?
firefox
"firefox" is not an executable file.
What program should CM3-IDE use for your web browser?
firefox.exe
"firefox.exe" is not an executable file.

How could I continue?

1) Are You have compiled hello.exe ?

2) Why You want use AMD64_MINGW ? May be AMD64_NT is better choice?

3)

If short: CM3-IDE.exe never was be "clone" of Delphi / Clarion RAD tools.

It's even not be text editor.

P.S. ToDO: add URL of PDF P.P.S. ToDO: add way to run CM3-IDE.exe ( It's possible)

2022-08-25: see later this: = = Please try first run "scripts\dev\windows\do-cm3.cmd" and then run CM3-IDE.exe inside this command line window = =

How about CudaText ?

@VictorMiasnikov It seems if one use MSVC he doesn't have to setup a POSIX like environment like MSYS2 isn't it? At least your wiki say so (https://github.com/modula3/cm3/wiki/Getting-Started%3A-Windows). What about supporting something similar for MinGW-W64? MinGW-W64 doesn't need MSYS2 (there are standalone builds like of Winlibs.com). CMake and Python3 could be installed without MSYS2 too. I have no idea why you required MSYS2 to use with MinGW-W64 at all.

If You want then I can write e-mail message to Eric Sessoms . . .

@VictorMiasnikov I don't know what obscure email client you are using but try to turn off html and send your emails as plain text or try a bit better to format them please :pray:

I known about "html problem". In short: It can not be fixed in near time. On Monday I fix Github engine error by manual editing text of Issues

cm3ide is a web server and you need a web browser to use it. If you don't like it, use cm3 instead?

Web server? But, why? What did you have in mind when you designed it like that? :confused:

I didn't design it. I agree it is a bit wierd, but you have to realize..this was done over 25 years ago.. it resembles in some ways Electron apps. But imagine you don't even have (client-side) JavaScript. How would you write a cross platform gui? If you decide to use the web browser, how?

Anyway, just use the command line cm3 and your favorite text editor. You don't need cm3ide. I doubt it has many users, even compared to cm3.

[VictorMiasnikov]

Yes, I want write too: web sever cm3ide was born near to 1991.

( but it works and today. In the middle of 2020)

I don't try this...

Run do-cm3, run "set >listofenvar.txt"

Reproduce environment variables

P.S. Var B: Use AMD64_NT instead of AMD64_MINGW is good choice. You can compile .dll

[jaykrell]

.cmd files are a bad idea in every environment. Seriously.

This .cmd is very simple and nice -) ( I wrote really advanced .cmd and can compare)

"Our .cmd" simply setup CM3_ROOT env. variable, etc
