Peter, I should have realized this approach!  I have used it a bit and it so powerful and so easy!  Thank you!

Some people just really know how to be lazy.  :)

Looks like something goes wrong during the precompilation phase and since we are
doing 3 precompilations for classic and 3 for .NET. My guess is that the .NET
one are failing.

I suspect that there is something that EiffelStudio 5.7 doesn't like in the beta
of .NET 2.0. You can uninstall the beta and install the final release of .NET
2.0 without reinstalling  EiffelStudio. Only the .NET precompiles might need to
be rebuilt if you need them.

It is the version of base, wel and vision2 compiled in multithreaded mode. They
are only needed if you plan on developing a multithreaded application using a
precompiled library.

Can't input chinese.

Hi,

Eiffel Studio 5.7 for linux cannot display chinese
characters nor accept inputs from input method such as
scim.

Have ISE plan to work on this problem?

This is consistent with 5.7 compiler not accepting Unicode class texts.

>Have ISE plan to work on this problem?

Since ECMA mandates Unicode class texts (8.32.1) as an option, then they 
surely have.

A couple of students have tried to create an internationalized version of  
EiffelStudio including a chinese translation of the development  
environment. Unfortunately, switching from STRING_8 to STRING_32  
everywhere seems to create numerous problems. Still, the students have  
create an internationalization framework that can be applied to Eiffel  
applications. We hope to publish it soon. That way, you would first create  
an English application using EiffelStudio (employing the framework) and  
later create translations using the well-established .mo/.po files.

Eventually we might get a Chinese version of EiffelStudio, but that  
definitely needs lots of time and work.

But not all chinese texts are encoded using Unicode.
There are at least three common chinese encoding
systems:  GB, BIG5 and Unicode. GB encoding system is
the official standard in Mainland china, but BIG5 is
de facto standard of Taiwan.

GTK can handle all of these encodings. Maybe Eiffel
Studio has masked the highest bit of characters so
they cannot be shown with GTK.

For CJK input Eiffel Studio should use GtkImContext to
get input from the user.

My problem is really not that big. I was developing
eiffel programs using Eclipse as my editor. Now I want
to  edit these programs using Eiffel Studio's editor,
but comments written in chinese can not be shown
correctely. These chinese characters are encoded with
Big5, not Unicode. Most of the GTK applications can
treat these strings as 8 bit strings and show it
according to the current locale. Only Eiffel Studio
fails to do it correctly.

The second problem is Eiffel Studio seems have no
support for XIM or gtk's immodule, so no chinese input
server can connect to Eiffel Studio.

So convert them using iconv.
