NEdit is Open Source Software, and the source code is available in several ways. Be sure to read the building instructions before trying to build NEdit for yourself.
Most importantly, the source code for stable NEdit releases can be downloaded as a tarball:
| package | size |
|---|---|
| nedit-5.4-source.tar.Z | 1464 KB |
| nedit-5.4-source.tar.bz2 | 708 KB |
| nedit-5.4-source.tar.gz | 969 KB |
The source code of previous releases of NEdit are available from the ftp site and mirrors.
The development source tree is available through CVS at SourceForge. You can check out the code using the following commands, provided you have installed CVS on your system:
# for sh/bash export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.nedit.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nedit # for csh/tcsh setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anonymous@cvs.nedit.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nedit cvs login cvs checkout nedit
If you don't have CVS, or if you are just interested in the current source tree without planning to keep it up to date, there also is a nightly snapshot of the source code available through ftp:
