I ran across the following website that describes how to set up a "pseudo"-IDE for VCS programming using Scite, DASM, and Stella.

VCS IDE Setup

The author of the article can compile from within Scite by setting up Scite's .asm properties with a batch file. Does anyone know how to do the same thing in a linux environment? Better yet, if you have a "better" linux setup, please provide information not only on what programs you are running, but how you set them up as an IDE. I'm a noob, so the more detailed you are with your explanation, the better. FYI, I'm using Ubuntu 8.04LTS on a laptop, and 10.04LTS on a desktop.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but I create a Makefile and let the command-line be my IDE.

The present version of my Makefile handles the following commands:

make #assembles the project if the files have changed
make verbose #assembles the project with dasm verbosity set to 5
make run #launches the project in stella
make debug #launches the project in stella, starting in the debugger
make test #copies the .bin to the SD card I use in Harmony
make clean #removes .bin and intermediate files
make backup #creates a tarball of the directory and mails it to a gmail account

Definitely recommended if you're comfortable with a command-line!

Thanks, but I'm looking for something more GUI oriented, as I am not too savy with the command line.

Greetings!

This is the author of said website. I've just put up a post re: this issue. I made a script that will set up the SciTE, Stella, DASM setup I'm using on my Win 7 machine on an Ubuntu setup. It may work for other Linux installs.

Anyway, the post is here. It will download and install everything for you. Just launch it as follows:
sudo script-filename $USER

Cheers,
