sl5600 nedit
« on: April 29, 2004, 01:36:00 pm »
Has anyone compiled nedit for sl5600. I tried to install the one from pdaXrom website but it depended on something else and would not run. I have the org OS and really do not want to try and install a different OS (I may screw the whole thing up) just for this one program.

I really do need nedit to view txt files. All of the other txt file programs I have tried mess with txt layout (I view txt query results from postgesql).

Or perhaps there is a way for me to find out what depends are needed to use the nedit version from the pdaXrom website.

thanks

John

Nedit relies on motif/lesstif and X Windows. So you have to install X Windows on your 5600, which isn\'t necessarily straight forward and is quite slow.
