It might be wise if someone from the NEdit project would review the
Cygwin/X NEdit package. The goal would be to determine if the Cygwin/X
NEdit package has any common or easily detectable platform-dependent bugs.
To download the NEdit source package for Cygwin/X, grab the package from
the following link, or take note of the directory that it is in and find
another mirror in the list at cygwin.com. You can also use Cygwin's
setup.exe to grab the NEdit source package and it will be automatically
unpacked in /usr/src.
http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release/XFree86/nedit/nedit-5.4-1-src.tar.bz2
If you grabbed the source package manually, move it to /usr/src and
unpack it with 'tar xjf nedit-5.4-1-src.tar.bz2'.
Check the file nedit-5.4/CYGWIN-PATCHES/nedit.README for information on
which packages are required at build-time.
Build the package with the following set of commands:
./nedit-5.4-1.sh prep && ./nedit-5.4-1.sh conf > conf.log 2>&1 &&
./nedit-5.4-1.sh build > build.log 2>&1 && ./nedit-5.4-1.sh install >
install.log 2>&1
Now you should have a directory full of the .o files that can be used to
make incremental builds if you find fixes that need to be made.
Please carefully note any problems that you find and send them to both
lists that this message was sent to.
Thanks for your help,
Harold
