Downloads

Latest release

2011-09-17 - Third public release.
qxgedit-0.1.1.tar.gz

• Make sure Uservoice elements are selected only when available.
• Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
• libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase, as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13, Debian 6.
• Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
• General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.

Previous and older releases, including the change log, are also available here. You may also check out from the latest bleeding edge development source tree, using Subversion.

You can browse all files available for download, including binary packages, at QXGEdit Files on SourceForge.net.

Installation

The installation procedure follows the standard for source distributions. In the extracted source directory, just do:

./configure [--prefix=prefix]
make

and optionally as root:

make install

This procedure will end installing the following couple of files:

• prefix/bin/qxgedit
• prefix/share/applications/qxgedit.desktop
• prefix/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/qxgedit.png

Just launch prefix/bin/qxgedit and you're off (hopefully). Note that the default installation path prefix is /usr/local.

Configuration

QXGEdit holds its settings and configuration state per user, in a file located as $HOME/.config/rncbc.org/QXGEdit.conf. Normally, there's no need to edit this file, as it is recreated and rewritten everytime qxgedit is run.

Bugs

Plenty still, after all this is alpha software ;)
