You need following things done: 1) If you are satisfied with generic asm language syntax highlighting, anjuta has it. Otherwise, if you want more customized highlighting, you need to write a lexer for scintilla for your programming language. You can probably derive the code from the existing lexer. 2) Anjuta (from cvs) uses plugin architecture. You can write a simple plugin for building your projects. There are some documentation and sample plugins already for your assistance. You can even take the existing "autotools-build" plugin and modify it to create a new customized plugin. 3) If you use automake for your project builds, then existing anjuta plugins should be sufficient. If not then things are little complicated, as you may need to write a new project-manager backend. If you don't want project management capabilities, you may of course skip this. Some documentations are available at website (http://anjuta.org/), but you are best adviced to follow existing plugins. Checkout anjuta from cvs or download the hourly build from website and start experimenting.
