dex

Dextrous text editor

Introduction

dex is a small and easy to use text editor. Colors and bindings can be fully customized to your liking.

It has some features useful to programmers, like ctags support and it can parse compiler errors, but it does not aim to become an IDE.

The only dependencies are libc and ncurses.

To compile this program you need GNU make and a modern C-compiler (tested with gcc and clang).

You need to specify all options for both make and make install. Alternatively you can put your build options into a Config.mk file.

make prefix=$HOME
make prefix=$HOME install

The default prefix is /usr/local and DESTDIR works as usual. See the top of the Makefile for more information.
