Please note that an integrated toolchain has little to do with anything visible on-screen. A good toolchain can be triggered by most flexible enough graphical environments and generally produces a text log of the work done. Nevertheless, the concept of toolchains is more natural to Linux/Unix way of thinking/doing things, and those environments are already full of reusable and combinable tools that ease the creation and maintenance of a toolchain. Windows users can generally use tools developed for Unix through the cygwin software adaptation layer but running a Linux distribution in a virtual machine may be more practical.
There are some attempts at creating toolchains targeting the CPC. Active as of 2017-11: * '''[[CPCtelera]]''' integrates an out-of-the-box preconfigured build system, along with a game development library and tools. It is also multiplatform, working on Linux, OSX and Windows.* [https://github.com/cpcitor/cpc-dev-tool-chain cpc-dev-tool-chain] integrated C or ASM development toolchain for the Amstrad CPC platform (or emulator). Includes compiler, assembler, makefile-based projects, interface between C and firmware. Designed for quick start on Linux (or similar) systems : get a copy, run "make" and get a DSK ready to run into the emulator. It even downloads and compiles tools (the cross-compiler, iDSK) if needed. Made for Linux, also works with Windows (via cygwin or similar), and probably Mac OS X. Most project+build-oriented features claims by CPCTelera comes from cpc-dev-tool-chain.* Not an integrated toolchain, but a collection of tools that can be strung together to make one, including a DockerFile. Mentioned on [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/off-topic/cpc-sdk-for-linuxunix/ CPC SDK for Linux/Unix]. Appears to have moved to https://github.com/cpcsdk

* 2012-11-12 [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/programming/recommended-linux-cross-dev-tool-chain/ Recommended Linux cross-dev tool chain?] mentions a makefile-based toolchain targeting dsk images or tapes
* 2011-11-18 [https://github.com/cpcitor/cpc-dev-tool-chain cpc-dev-tool-chain] an embryo of an integrated C or ASM development toolchain for the Amstrad CPC platform (or emulator). Designed for quick start on Linux (or similar) systems : get a copy, run "make" and get a DSK ready to run into the emulator. It even downloads and compiles tools (the cross-compiler, iDSK) if needed.
