Build does not work

[MarcusE1W]

Hi.

I could not build the editor with the build instructions.

First when using make I get the error message:

/bin/sh: -std-c99: command not found

I guess tis cmes from the variable CPP in the make file:

CXX = -std-c99 gcc

Just to try I have replaced that with gcc -std=c99 but then I get:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lerl_interface
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lei

and am quite far out of my depth and stopped experimenting.

I am using Archlinux ARM

Well, I was not able to compile in macOS although macOS do have wxWidgets support.

I didn't tried a workaround for your problem on ARM Linux, but if you only want to experiment the software you can cd into src and start from the erlang repl.

Compile all the four files:
1> c(smoltext). {ok,smoltext} 2> c(menu_file). {ok,menu_file} 3> c(menu_edit). {ok,menu_edit} 4> c(menu_tools). {ok,menu_tools}

Then smoltext:start(). will start the text editor.

I think the issue might be caused by using a newer version of Erlang with the included erlang.mk. You might be able to solve it by pulling in a newer erlang.mk and using that instead.

Or as mentioned above you can skip building the executable and just compile the files on their own without using make.
