How can I work wxMEdit on MacOS?

Open vladimirsimichorovich opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I was looking for a cross-platform text editor in which regular expressions work and have found wxMEdit potentially useful. I have a question about how it can be started on Mac OS (10.14). I extracted wxMEdit-3.1_OSXFIX.tar.gz and got a folder of various files, but cannot identify which one is the main application. On Windows I had no problem locating the .exe file, but the decompressed fragments look very much unlike Mac library parts. Vladimir Simichorovich

You need to execute the executable: "wxMEdit" in your terminal. Just open the folder in the terminal and type: "./wxMEdit"

Sorry, wxMEdit did not provide binary packages for macOS. You can download the source code and build it yourself. Here is the building steps: https://github.com/wxMEdit/wxMEdit/issues/57#issuecomment-31417588 . And the newest source code package is http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/wxmedit/3.2/wxMEdit-3.2.tar.gz .
