A priliminary win32 port of Katoob is available at:
http://www.geocities.com/uniball13/tmp/katoob-0.3.5-win32-alpha.zip
"The ZIP file contains the katoob executable and Gtk DLLS"
I don't know why i uploaded it there, But probably because i didn't know
where to put it ?

Notes:
* Don't say that feature X and Y are not working, Say that they are not
working because X and Y happens.
* No I18N Support now.
* Don't pass command line options as they aren't interpreted "I couldn't
find an implementation of getopt_long()"
* Don't pass any files to open, Katoob'll probably crash! "I didn't find
realpath()", Use the open dialog instead.
* No source highlighting yet, I need to port gtksourceview to win32 1st
* No spell checking, I didn't touch the code yet.
* I don't know where the configuration is saved, Or if it's even saved ;-)
* There is something wrong with the fonts for printing.
* You'll not be able to print, I don't know weather I'm going to
implement win32 support or not.
* No PDF files unless you install ghostscript for windows.
* I can't remember if there is more, But probably there is ;-)

Building:
I built the win32 version using msys/mingw32 under windows 2000.
Don't ask me why I didn't use VC++, Probably I'll answer but after
flaming you
;-)

Grab Katoob from the CVS.
cd /path/to/dir
edit src/Makefile.mngw to suit your environment.
make -f Makefile.mingw
make -f Makefile.mingw install "To copy everything to the proper
location"

why don't you post a screenshot.

cheers,

This is an older screenshot, And don't ask me why the taskbar is empty :|

Though I'm not a windows supporter, but congratulations uniball :)

ya3ny I think it's kinda rare to see linux software ported to windows !!


Keep up the good work..

:eek:
why u r posting this here u said this is a win32 ver
& we r linux-egypt here !

&i download it just 4 u.

u know i don't need text editor in windows

i've make a 1 for my self using MS Visual Studio6 & another build 4 winxp usin MS Visual Studio .NET

but now i put my goal in linux.
u know i build a small text editor for linux but not as powerful
as katoob i build a ver using glade 1st but i makes some problem to me coz i can't understand anycode easily except mine so i build another ver with my own not glade & i aslo working in a program like ACDsee but i didn't finish them yet i just started them 2 days ago.

so i think i don't use windows any more ;)

3alashan keda fokak menoh :D

we have to inc. linux popularity don't forgot :-)

i'm sorry for being rude ;)

nice job, i'd try it but thank God i'm windows-less right now :)

peace

That's the programming forum maslan, And the software is GPL'ed and open source !
I don't use Visual studio or even like it.
vim + mingw32 + msys owns

I don't use windows, But i wanted to port, Had to boot win2k, The last time was 6 monthes ago !

:)
i think it's a good idea but if u annonced it on ur own site
or by pm not in public coz we have to inc. linux pop.
not win32 but by moving linux progs to win32 we r inc. win32 pop aslo,
;)

so we here wants to proof that linux have it's own progs
which we can depend.

& in windows arabic is supported so why use katoob ?
& there are many text editors that r build using MSVC++
which r faster than katoob & doesn't load in console 1st
then jump to GUI & wihout all this DLLs & libs.
:cool:

so forgot what i said but tell me how u imported it to win32
by using gtk ver. for win32 or u used a ver of gcc in win32
i've used it ago.;)

bye uniball

We are also spreading the Free Software with each piece of software ported to the win32 platform.
Maybe Arabic is supported, But what about bidi and Unicode ?
And I want to learn how to write win32 apps. No one knows maybe I'll need to program win32 apps to live oneday :(
Though i'll hate this ;)

Faster, Yes, I compiled a debugging version with no optimisation at all.
They don't use all those DLLs ? Who tald you that they don't use.
I can compile a static version of the win32 binary and you won't notice that it's using all the DLLs, Or I can even strip Gtk and keep what i use only, Merge Gtk, pango, atk, glib,.. togeather and it'll be 1 DLL only.

Yes I'm aware about the console window, -mwindows passed to gcc and it's over,But i need to see the debugging output.

I said, I'm using mingw32 + Gtk+ for windows.

What do you mean by "imported i" ? I didn't get it!

:)
ok go on but set ur focus to katoob(linux version)
;)
