[rock freak]

Hi there i was just wondering if any one new a good text editor liek gedit that is compatiable as i cant always get onto a ubuntu or linux machine :(

i like the colour markup it does and the wide languages i program in c and php and do some html etc.. along the way!!

also any one know how to get glade to work in windows i have the win32 installed but it still generates the automake.sh of which i cant find a program to use!!!! tried cygwin but dont think i got all the right packages!!


cheers for any help

I use http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ under windows... I actually prefer it over gedit/kate... *briefly wonders if it'll run under wine*

Or try JEdit (http://www.jedit.org/) or GVim (http://www.vim.org/). Vim takes some time to get used to, but once you do, you'll never want to use any other editor.

My favourite Windows editor is UltraEdit (http://www.ultraedit.com/index.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=1). Unfortunately, it's not free but you can download a trial version to check it out.

i like Notepad2 (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html) as a notepad replacement on windows

Sure, the learning curve is pretty steep, but after some training you can edit text really fast. Type 'vimtutor' in a bash shell and see for yourself.

[jwenting]

GVim it is for me. Only true cross platform editor (if you include VI and VIM).
Using it in some flavour or another on Windows, Linux, AIX, Solaris, and SCO (and have used in the past on HPUx, BDS, and OS/2).

Handy not to have to relearn a commandset for your editor when switching OSs.

[DirtDawg]

Yikes. Lots of suggestions.

Scite is my favorite on both Windows and Ubuntu. Plenty of syntax color.

EDIT: Oops, forgot the link: http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html

it must have syntax highlighting, I've seen it on my host's ssh.. but never on my own vim lol.

You may have better luck with the Win32 version of Glade (http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/modules/news/).

[Azriphale]

For an editor, I use emacs everywhere. I think it makes more sense than vim. It is also difficult to get used to (it has a lot of advanced function), but when you do, it makes editing files very quick.

And, as has been pointed out, there is gladewin32 available.

[rock freak]

yeah i have glade win32 but it still chucks out autogen.sh and make fuiles so you have to have some way of run them the only way i have got so far is via cygwin i have tried dev cpp as well but to no avial!!!


any help would be very much appreciated!!

Download and run the installer

[rock freak]

i have and selected cygwin and dev cpp on install
but still nothin!!:S

it looks like to me that it is somethign to do witht he libary files!

Using it in some flavour or another on Windows, Linux, AIX, Solaris, and SCO (and have used in the past on HPUx, BDS, and OS/2).Hardly. Emacs runs natively on more platforms than VI ever has, I think.

[benplaut]

i haven't found a single editor i like as much as Gedit, but i need to try SciTE again... looks good

[Azriphale]

Do you have the normal win32 GTK+ devel release installed? I don't remember if GTK+ and gladewin32 are packaged separately... But you do need GTK+ development installed.

[rock freak]

well i no that i got this package from the win32glade site 2.8.8-rc2 addtiont he first one on the page!!!
