The GreenHills IDE does that. As an occasional user of that IDE, I'd suggest you also try to place some kind of help information about those options (tooltip help perhaps?) in that dialog. A big mess of checkboxes can be quite daunting, particularly when you don't know what they all do. Its tempting to just click them all, in hopes that will optimize best. :-) Note also that when you add in all the gcc and ld options (-cargs , -largs), the complete list of options would make for a *huge* dialog (even if you try tabbing it). --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
