We supply a native development environment from Metrowerks on our standard BeOS CD-ROM. This is an integrated development environment similar to CodeWarrior on other platforms. It includes the IDE and C++ and Java compilers you need to write BeOS applications.

The linker is limited to 64K for the size of applications you can link with it. This limit is high enough that utility software and simple applications can be built without a problem, but low enough that anyone wanting to build a large program (say, larger than StyledEdit) will need to buy the full version of CodeWarrior for BeOS to get the unrestricted linker.

Why was my BeOS CD shipment delayed, or not received?

Is there a GUI builder for BeOS programmers?
