-Do it all with Code::Blocks
----------------------------
-
-.. TODO this really should reflect the new, more pleasant build system
-
-Optional. `Code::Blocks <http://www.codeblocks.org/>`_ is a generic
-cross platform IDE. We don't personally use it for development, so we
-haven't worked out all the kinks (e.g., debugging isn't integrated),
-but it might be helpful for people who are allergic to `vim
-<http://www.vim.org/>`_ and/or `Emacs
-<http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/>`_. The simple configuration
-described here just calls down to the :file:`Makefile`, so follow the
-above directions to get the command line tools configured (you'll
-definitely need the arm-none-eabi-* tools on your ``PATH``), then
-`install Code::Blocks <http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26>`_. You
-can do this on Linux with::
-
- $ sudo aptitude install codeblocks
-
-The first time it runs you'll maybe want to disable all the glitzy
-"Getting Started" crap (when will they learn?). We've added a .cbp
-"projects" file to the libmaple repository: you can try using that one
-by copying it from :file:`support/codeblocks/libmaple.cbp` to the top
-level directory, but no promises (it might be missing new source files
-etc). It's probably worth reading through these instructions as well
-to get a feel for how it all works.
-
-To create your own "libmaple" project, start with an "Empty Project"
-with the "Folder to create project in" set to your
-``LIB_MAPLE_HOME``. Make sure that the "Resulting filename" is in the
-top level directory as well.

-Select the "GNU GCC Compiler" (it won't be used, anyway) and disable
-the "Debug" configuration in the next window. Now you should have a
-project with no files; add files by right clicking on the project in
-the left panel file hierarchy and "Add files recursively". Import both
-the :file:`wirish` and :file:`libmaple` directories recursively, then
-add :file:`main.cpp` separately.

-Next we have to configure the Makefile targets. Go to the
-"Properties..." menu under "Project" and check the "This is a custom
-Makefile" box. Then go to the "Build targets" tab and create "ram" and
-"flash" targets, both of type "Console application" and without the
-Auto-generated filename prefixes or extensions. Set the Output
-filename to :file:`support/codeblocks/program_flash.sh` and
-:file:`support/codeblocks/program_ram.sh` respectively; these scripts
-just call the program_ram/program_flash make targets and are a hack to
-get the "run" button to upload code to the Maple. The IDE will warn
-that these files will be overwritten, but they won't be. For both the
-"flash" and "ram" targets, click the "Build options..." button (below
-"Virtual targets..." etc) and go to the far right tab ("'Make'
-commands"). Edit the Clean project/target line so it's just "clean"
-(not "clean$target"), and set the "Build project/target" and "Compile
-single file" commands to ``$make -f $makefile MAPLE_TARGET=$target``
-and ``$make -f $makefile MAPLE_TARGET=$target $file``, respectively.
