Looking for NEdit 5.5 with toolbar patch for Linux platform (SLES9 / SLES10)

[Paterline, David L. (NF)]

Hi -

Does anyone have a binary version of NEdit with the T. K. Soh toolbar patch which executed on a Linux SLES 9 / SLES 10 platform? I've tried to compile the version with the patch, but have had some problems with X/Motif. So, if anyone has a version built for those platforms, I'd appreciate getting a copy.

Thanks.

I can't really help you with a binary of the patch, but I might be able to
help you build NEdit, as I recently did this on my SLED 11 box.

Can you give a log of the output as well as what Motif you have installed,
such as what Motif RPMs are listed as being installed?

Looks more like your /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a is not finding ctype stuff, which
is in the standard library, rather than the build not finding motif/lesstif.

Also looks like you're linking statically rather than dynamically. Do you have
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so also?

[Paterline, David L. (NF)]

I'm not sure about how I'm linking, I'm just trying to build using the 'out of the box' makefiles (make linux). As for the libraries:

Looks like a problem I used to have on Solaris or something, but I
can't really recall exact detail. IIRC, I needed to add some libs to
the link options to solve it.

It looks like this is a dependency on the old ctype macro implementation of
"functions" like isalpha(), which just accessed static array tables directly.
Newer versions of the standard C library use proper functions instead. The
problem is that your libXm refers to those tables instead of the functions.
SunOS 4 used to have a similar issue because the macros did not support signed
char arguments properly. (They should, for single byte chars, cover arguments
in the range EOF=-1...255, but just using signed char as an index would give
-128...127 and result in access violations.)

Googling for "linux standard.c library ctype_b" gave a possible solution here:
http://www.tbrk.org/esterel/misc.html

Alternatively, try linking with the .so instead of the .a. This may give the
same issue, but at run time. If so, link against the .so.3. There should be
some guidance about how to do the dynamic linking in the make files
themselves. (I thought "more" dynamic linking was what you got with "make
linux" and you'd get less with another target like "make linux_static" - start
by typing "make" to list the targets.)

You seem to have more than one library sitting around. That doesn't bode
well for me. :-) I don't know where these are all installed, but I
really recommend that you avoid the 2.2 Motif versions. 2.1 is probably
the one you want to be using. So if you use rpm -ql to list the package
contents you can find out what directories to set in your makefile to
make sure that NEdit links against the correct version of Motif.

Hi,

I use openmotif 2.3.2 under Mandriva 2010. Should I downgrade to 2.1 ?

If you are using 2.3.2 and it is working for you, then there isn't
really any reason to downgrade. Since NEdit does not, to my knowledge,
use any of the widgets of the 2.2 and 2.3 series, then you shouldn't run
into many of the problems encountered with these versions. 2.2 was
particularly unstable, however. I have not had trouble with using 2.3
myself, but I'm also careful to only stick with the 2.1 set of widgets.
NEdit has worked reliably for me with 2.3.

All my patches are still on SF trackers. Granted, I have not done any
work on them for years (since 5.5), so not sure if they will still
apply to MAIN, but I suspect they will.

Good thing nothing get released since 5.5 ;-)

I can speak only for myself and know from Tony Balinski's patched NEdit:

My patches are here:

http://kgb2.thruhere.net/git/?p=nedit-bw.git;a=summary

This is a Quilt patch queue under git control. But this isn't
up-to-date, because I'm in the process to convert this queue into
full-controlled git patches. But I'm lacking behind.

Tony's does have a list of patches here:

http://ajbj.free.fr/nedit/nedit5.5dev/patches/NEditPatches.html

But this isn't up-to-date either. His patched sources can be found here:

Hi -
Does anyone have a binary version of NEdit with the T. K. Soh toolbar patch which executed on a Linux SLES 9 / SLES 10 platform? I've tried to compile the version with the patch, but have had some problems with X/Motif. So, if anyone has a version built for those platforms, I'd appreciate getting a copy.

I am using one on Fedora 9 (along with a few other patches of mine),
but not sure it's going to work for you.

Please tell, where are your patches and other recent patches for NEdit?

This is a Quilt patch queue under git control. But this isn't
up-to-date, because I'm in the process to convert this queue into
full-controlled git patches. But I'm lacking behind.

Thanks, Bert. It sure brings a lot of old memories :-)

Do you have an already-patched tree of your stuff, Bert? I'd like to see what
I can steal (in particular your assign-to-tuple parse.y stuff).

There are a lot of interesting patches out there and, although I could be
accused of "creeping featurism", I'd like to pull them into my on-going
version. BTW I've done a lot of stuff in my corner, but not available as
patches; my source tree is diverging rather from the 5.5/5.6 head. I really
need to make a list of features I have and features I want... hmmm...

Doesn't a list of patches than suits your needs better? Anyway, Yes,
I've done tar-balls in the past and could generate new ones. But as I
wrote, the quilt patches are out-of-date and I'm in the process to
import them all into git. The main goal is to make them independent of
each other, so that others can easily pick single ones (inclusive
dependent patches). But this takes time which I don't have :(

Yeah, I've take a cursory look and saw your screen shots yesterday.
One thing that immediately catches my eyes was, that we really need a
scrollable calltip. For long man pages and for long lists of
suggestions for word completion.

Dear Tony and Bert!

Do you plan to "transform" some
joined|extracted|patched|etc. version of your
code into the 5.6. beta branch opened by Scott at 3 Oct 2008?
http://www.nedit.org/pipermail/develop/2008-October/014717.html

We - users - really need that!

No. 5.6 was and is intended as an maintenance release. Except if there
has something changed which I don't know off.

This issue on releasing 5.6 seem keep popping up on the list.
Personally, things are getting a bit boring, and I am hoping a new
release would somehow inject a bit of new life into NEdit. Should be
put together these old patches and push for a source-only release of
5.6?

Good. If there's no objection, I will start a new thread to kick off
the release effort. Obviously there are many things to discuss and
issues to resolved. But bottom line, we should aim for simpler process
to speed things up. It may actually mean 5.6 will be tested less, but
I can live with that. As long as we continue to fix the problems, then
bugs are no issues (might actually be a good thing - it shows that
people are actually using Nedit enough to expose them).

I thought from the source point-of-view, 5.6 was pretty well ready.
Can't we just call it a release and move to 5.7?

I'm all for a source-only release. But I've found a bug report with a
patch in the tracker, which should be worth putting in. I don't know
why I didn't apply it already:

http://www.nedit.org/pipermail/discuss/2009-November/010240.html

If there are still no objections, I put it in. Than I think we can tag
the BETA-5-6 branch as REL-5-6 and make the release.

[Tim Hubberstey]

A bit off topic but still related to a release...

Would anyone be willing to do a "Building NEdit for Dummies" release bundle?
I'd love to be able to try my hand at hacking/improving NEdit but I'm
dissuaded by the necessity of assembling a working environment with all the
correct versions of the libraries and other dependencies. A ZIP file with
known working versions of everything needed to build NEdit would be a huge
incentive for me to do some work on the project. My personal choice would be
a Cygwin bundle but I'm sure any flavor of Linux would also be welcome.

It needs to be nothing more that a ZIP of someone's known working directory
tree and environment variables.

Thanks,
Tim

I did find a good use for the current behaviour though :-) - I have Gnu
debugger commands that cause nedit to track the progression of a program with
rangeset-highlighted lines. Because of this bug, the focus for input stays
with the terminal window I use to enter gdb commands. Quite convenient. But it
doesn't merit hampering nedit in all other situations.
