    Future plans include writing a patch for Firestorm to enable it to run external script filtering programs instead of the internal preprocessor and optimizer. That would allow this program to be run using Firestorm's integrated machinery, making usage pretty transparent to the programmer.

    An external preprocessor is supported. If your system has a GNU C Compiler suite already installed, then the cpp that comes with it (or gcc adding the -E option) should be enough. If you don't have it, the recommended preprocessor is mcpp, because it's a standalone executable, easy to install. Download it from http://mcpp.sourceforge.net/download.html, unpack the executable somewhere in the system path (or specify the path to the executable every time with the --precmd option of the program) and you're ready to go.

    Support for other IDEs like Eclipse is not planned, but the author encourages others to write it. Please notify Sei Lisa if you write one, so that it can be listed in this page.
