fields, here is a list of features:
FEATURES |
Supported platforms |
- DOS or any other OS that can emulate DOS in a decent way.
- GNU/Linux for i386. (The code runs for Alpha, AMD64, ARM, HPPA, Itanium (IA64), PPC and SPARC
but isn't fully tested).
- Win32 (Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, etc.) as a native application, not a DOS
application.

More snapshots of the editor running on remote systems. They
are for different systems, something similar to trophies ;-) |

DOWNLOAD |
Last release is `Glaciar Perito Moreno II' aka 0.5.8.
|
IMPORTANT! |
- Only the most common files are listed here, for a complete list of available files go
to the Source Forge Summary page or click
here.
- Don't be afraid of the version numbers, 0.5.8 is very stable and mature, other people
could name it version 5.8.
|
Linux/Solaris/QNX/*BSD/etc. |
- Sources:
All packages are in .tar.gz format and must be compiled using gcc. Note that if you
use a very new version of gcc you'll have to use the last release or the CVS code.
You also need Turbo Vision sources.
I recommend uncompressing both packages in the same directory (i.e. /usr/src).
- Important for binaries:
- Each Linux distribution uses a particular set of libraries so you can't install
a binary compiled for Red Hat 7.3 in a SuSE 8.0 machine. Some times it works
some times it fails.
- Statically linked binaries have more chances but it doesn't mean it will work.
Starting with Turbo Vision 2.0.0 the binary needs X11 libraries and they can't
be linked statically. So I don't distribute 0.5.0 and newer versions statically
linked.
- Consider downloading the sources if binaries for your distribution aren't
available. If you can't compile the sources please report it. If you can
generate binaries for your system in RPM, DEB or similar format please consider
contributing them so other people using your system can download it.

Rohan Carly reported success installing the Red Hat 7.3 binaries like this:
If I install this C++ library that comes with the distribution:
rpm -i compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
... then I can install your RPMS without much trouble:
rpm -i librhtv-2.0.2-3rh73.i386.rpm
rpm -i --nodeps setedit-0.5.2-1rh73.i386.rpm
The --nodeps for setedit is required because it thinks it
/usr/local/install-info is missing. In reality it resides in
/sbin/install-info.

DOS |
- Sources:
All DOS packages are in .zip format and must be compiled using djgpp.
You also need Turbo Vision sources,
uncompress both packages in your djgpp directory. After uncompressing the sources
will be in the contrib directory.
- Binary installer:
The installer is compressed using .zip format. Uncompress it and run the install.exe
program. The installer will ask installation options and optionally create a desktop
shortcut, menu item and modify autoexec.bat.
This is the recommended package for djgpp and no-djgpp users.
- Binary Windows installer:
This package was contributed by William Cullen. It uses the standard
Windows installers to install the DOS version of the editor.
For Windows 2000, XP and similar OSs:
You should try the Win32 version. For this you must download and install the DOS
version first and then get one of the Win32 version binaries and finally
replace the setedit.exe.
- Binary:
It contains the binaries using a layout that matchs other djgpp applications. I
recommend using the installer, but this pacakge is provided in case the installer
fails or you don't like installers. Uncompress it in your djgpp directory like any
other djgpp package.
|
Win32 |
- IMPORTANT!! To try the Win32 native version you have to install the DOS version and then replace the
setedit.exe executable by one of the available Win32 executables.
- General notes:
This isn't 100% tested but all people that tried it reported good results. I recommend it
for Windows NT (2000, XP, etc.) users. I don't have any Windows XP box and some users
reported strange behavior when using the DOS version.
- Cywin users: Wiktor Wandachowicz wrote a
step by step tutorial explaining how to install the editor
in a Cygwin system.
- From sources:
The editor can be compiled for Win32 using Borland C++ 5.5 free compiler.
To compile the editor you need BC++ 5.5 command line compiler and tools.
The compilation is quite similar to the DOS version, you just need the zip file used
for DOS (and Turbo Vision).
- Binaries:
To use it just install the DOS version and replace setedit.exe by this executable.
Note that even when this program looks like the DOS version it is a true Win32 application
and should behave much better under Windows NT, 2000, XP and similars.

Is a port of the GNU tools to the DOS environment. The main purpose is bring
the power of the free GNU C/C++ compiler called gcc. You can find more about
it in http://www.delorie.com.
TAGS files are plain text files containing a list of symbols from your source
code. For each symbol the file indicates in which file it's located and how to
find the symbol inside the file. Modern programs also include very important
information like which type of symbol is defined and if this symbol is part of
a bigger construct like a class.
An ilustrated tutorial showing how to use tags in SETEdit is available
here.
