We just found an small bug in Daiku, which will be corrected. Daiku in current shape dont work correctly when GCC is switched to GCC4. Make sure you’ll use GCC2 by running this command:

ā€˜setgcc gcc2’

eventually check by running:

ā€˜gcc -v’

There is a small save-bug. After creating and saving your project once , you’ll not be able to save it properly again, so just re-start daiku. Drop your project file [*.daiku] to daiku window, edit and save it again.

To save all *.cpp / *.frm files just use Project > Run [the files will be saved before execution]

Anyone here messed with this developer tool in more recent years?

I can’t find ā€œDaiku20DRSrc.zipā€ online, only ā€œDaiku11DR.zipā€ (from this web archive location), and it contains no source code.

In any case, the ReadMe_Test_enUS.txt says:

This software is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivative 2.1 Japan License.

If the source code was also released under that license… the non-derivative part would kills its potential usefulness, IMO.

I wonder if the developer is reachable. It did say on one of the links that they were looking for a maintainer.

Only one way to find out? Try politely reaching out, either with the email address on the mentioned Readme file, or via their Github profile.

I remember asking nicely to the MuTerm authors back in the day, and that’s how Haiku got its Terminal app originally :slight_smile:

Did you asked dev?

I’ve not had a chance yet to reach out.

I haven’t reached out to the developer yet, but I booted into an older install of Haiku (R1B1) and found Daiku with source code.

Daiku.zip

Ohh what version of Daiku is it?

I’d have to take a look to see.

Would be great to get a GUI builder that works with Genio or even Paladin/Koder.

The dev could authorize the source code to be part of HaikuArchives:
