Questions GCC and Viewport

Does anyone know if the viewport product is still being updated??

Is it possible to use viewport with a GCC project? Is there a GCC conduit??

Thanks,

    Yes, ViewPort is still active. Latest new feature was ability to easily run/load/debug spin/propbasic code over a bluetooth connection.
    ViewPort works well with Catalina as an IDE/debugger. Supports line-by-line stepping/breakpoint/watch etc. If there's demand I could port that to gcc.

    Thank you Hanno

    I am not very experienced in programming but was trying to figure out how to use viewport with the new GCC compiler now in beta testing. Would I need a new conduit object??

    Getting GCC to work with Viewport will require special modifications. That will not happen unless Hanno does it.

    As I understand it, by the end of the Propeller 2 GCC porting project, the Parallax SimpleIDE will allow debugging on both Propeller 1 and Propeller 2 without any special requirements beyond building with debug mode enabled.
