GFA CLI DevKit is GFA Basic development kit (GCD) for Command Line Interpreter. It allows to develop and edit GFA Basic programs in MiNT's command line or unix like shells under TOS (like Mupell).
WHY:
1: It is AES/OS independant. GFA basic is very touchy about AES and actualy only work properly in single TOS.
2: Since MiNT's consoles are usualy in mono, and GCD don't use GFABASIC at all, it is also resolution independant.
3: It *should* be machine independant. Hopefully, GCD also run on MagicMAC/PC with Mupfel, unix like TOS shell. That should work on any machine/emu, which runs TOS and Mupfel, but fails with GFA editor.
4: It is editor independant. U can use your favourite editor - Everest, Luna, Vi, Pico, Nano.. U can use GEM or CLI editors and save in LF or CRLF format It doesn't matter. U can use Papyrus if u like. :)
5: It uses separate compiler and linker settings for each project. Edit gfacomp.opt or gfalink.opt in your project folder and those changes will apply for that project only.
6: Because i wanted to make it.
7: Because there was no such envoirment before.
8: Becasue no one asked for it.
